The Male Lead's Cannon Fodder Ex-Wife in a Period Novel

Miss Tang Rujiao was fair-skinned, beautiful, and delicate. Then she woke up one day and found herself in a story set in the 1970s and 1980s, as the troublesome, attention-seeking ex-wife of the powerful male lead, a cannon-fodder character.

In the book, the male lead was always busy with work and rarely came home.

After marrying him because she had once saved him, the original owner complained that he was taciturn and never home because of work. She threw tantrums every day, even going to his workplace to cause a scene. Her in-laws disliked her, her husband resented her, and in the end he couldn't take it anymore and asked for a divorce.

Tang Rujiao arrived on the night of her wedding to the male lead, with the man's newly handed-over bankbook of wages right beside her!

She checked the calendar and realized the college entrance exams would resume in a year, economic reform and opening up would begin in two years, and her divorce was still five years away.

She got to keep the money without having to fulfill her marital duties, didn't have to live with her mother-in-law, and could enjoy her freedom. Who wouldn't want a good deal like that?

Tang Rujiao decided that when the time came, she'd ride the wave of reform and opening up, buy a few courtyard houses, and continue living the carefree life of a wealthy woman. She had plenty of good days ahead of her!

But unexpectedly, the more she acted up, the more often the man who was supposed to divorce her came home.

Tang Rujiao, forced to stay up late every night: ??? Weren't you supposed to be a workaholic with no interest in romance?

Fang Meiqian was reborn and learned that the steady, mature officer next door, Luo Xingzhou, was going to get divorced.

Hoping to marry Luo Xingzhou, she thought up all kinds of ways to make him realize that his wife was a troublemaker. She wanted him to hurry up and divorce her so she'd have a chance to marry him.

But she waited and waited, until Luo Xingzhou and his wife were expecting a child, and they still hadn't divorced. Unable to sit still, Zhao Meiqian went straight to the man braving the snowstorm to buy roasted sweet potatoes for Tang Rujiao. "Comrade Luo, your wife really doesn't know how to think of you. Making you go out to buy things in weather like this!"

Luo Xingzhou glanced at the unexpected visitor and replied without even giving her a proper look. "What's it to you? She's my wife, and I like spoiling her. Mind your own business."

Fang Meiqian froze. What was going on? Why wasn't Luo Xingzhou getting divorced?
