The Powerful Man's Beautiful First Wife in a Period Novel

Shen Qiu had terrible luck with her transmigration. Not only had she become the cannon-fodder wife of the male lead in a period novel, but she had arrived at the worst possible moment: bundle in hand, she was about to elope under cover of darkness when she ran straight into her in-laws!

Unwilling to be cannon fodder, Shen Qiu struck first and asked them, "I miss Zhenshan so much I can't sleep. Is that how you feel too?"

The book said that Zhou Zhenshan was the captain of the Grain Bureau's motor pool. He had gone out of province to transport grain and wouldn't be back for half a month.

He had already noticed that the original owner's affections had wandered, and planned to divorce her as soon as he returned.

Shen Qiu had no intention of staying entangled with Zhou Zhenshan either, but right now she had no money, no job, and no reliable family to turn to. If she got divorced, she'd starve.

So she worked on getting along with Zhou Zhenshan while saving up enough to leave. But when the time finally came, and she was the one to ask for a divorce, Zhou Zhenshan refused no matter what. He touched her prominently rounded belly and said bitterly, "You think you can take what you want and then walk away without taking responsibility? No chance!"
