A Guide to Divorce Disasters

The day after Yuchi Media announced that Jiang Yilan had officially taken over as president, its former president, Song Yuqi, died a horrific death at home.

The media rushed to report that President Song had been overcome by lust and used marriage to keep Jiang Yilan tied to her for five years, only to abandon her after having her way. Their marriage ended in a scandalous affair and a divorce in which Song walked away with nothing. Now her ex-wife had risen to the top, while Song Yuqi had lost both love and fortune. Even her death from illness had gone unnoticed. It was nothing less than karma.

No one knew that President Song, who should have met her karmic end and died for good, had been reborn in the body of a low-ranking actress. And that actress was entangled with President Song's ex-wife, Jiang Yilan.

Song Yuqi: "Huh? Did I die without checking the almanac?"

With no choice, President Song, unwilling to take over someone else's body, could only search for a way to return it while trying to cover up the truth in front of Jiang Yilan. But the woman who had lived with her day and night for five years saw through her disguise with ease.

When she denied it, Jiang Yilan carefully dismantled her lies, step by step.

When she tried to leave, Jiang Yilan insisted that she keep living, no matter what.

Song Yuqi finally snapped. "Jiang Yilan, life and death have already been decided. We should have called it even long ago!"

"Then let me be mad," the woman said, her courage finally summoned. Ignoring Song Yuqi's cold words, she swore to have her way. "Beyond life and death, all I want is you."

But Heaven always seemed to enjoy making things difficult for her. Just when President Song finally understood, she had to face the fact that she was about to abandon Jiang Yilan once again.

"Song. Yu. Qi!" Her beloved's eyes brimmed with resentment, each word wrenched from her heart. "You dare!"

This time, Song Yuqi endured the spreading cold and the agony of her soul being torn apart. The corners of her eyes curved in a look of release, her voice weak but resolute.

"Yilan... don't... don't be afraid. Beyond life and death, I... belong to you too..."

[The Not-So-Serious Bonus Scene]

Before being reborn.

President Song, who only wanted a divorce: "Jiang Yilan, I've been sick of this marriage for years. Sign the agreement. From now on... we owe each other nothing."

After being reborn.

President Song, who only wanted to remarry: "Yilan, tell me what you want. I can change anything..."

Many years later.

President Song, suddenly recalling the past as if waking from a dream: "How did I manage to mess up a divorce back then?!"

The woman occupying the other side of the pillow said, perfectly at ease, "If you had another chance, would you still get divorced?"

The humble President Song regretted everything. "N-no. I wouldn't."

Blurb:

The seventh year of their marriage.

Only then did the award-winning actress Wen Zhan learn that her beloved, Lu Tan, had a first love she had yearned for over hundreds of years.

That first love appeared in every one of Lu Tan's paintings.

Lu Tan had given her first love the keepsake that symbolized their love.

And the woman Lu Tan called her "destined love" turned out to be her first love's name in a past life.

Unwilling to give up, Wen Zhan sought the truth, only for Lu Tan to challenge her: "For these seven years, you've been pretending to be her. What were you hoping to get from me, fame or fortune?"

What could she have hoped to get? The seven years she had given with all her heart ended with nothing but divorce papers.

Wen Zhan filed for divorce, moved out, and blocked every means of contact without the slightest hesitation.

But why had the department head, who should have been chasing after her first love, come to grab her wrist?

"A-Zhan, can't we stay married?"

"Has Minister Lu mistaken me for someone else?" Wen Zhan pried Lu Tan's hand away and kindly reminded her, "Your first love is still onstage singing. It isn't very appropriate for you to cling to this 'imitation' of hers like this."

Seven hundred years ago, the immortal Lu Tan was injured and rescued by a mortal.

To repay the favor, she helped the other woman overcome one tribulation after another. But the woman used that debt to bind Lu Tan to her, and had tormented her for hundreds of years ever since.

And now, in this life, someone was pretending to be that woman and taking her place? Lu Tan was at her wit's end.

It was only much later that she discovered she had mistaken one person for another from the very beginning.
