Divorce Aftereffects

[Coming soon: My Yet-Unmet Mad Ex-Wife]

Blurb: Before marrying Shen Yu, the eldest daughter of the Shen family, Su Yunwan thought marriage for family alliances meant mutual respect and working together through thick and thin.

After marrying Shen Yu, she discovered that Shen Yu thought marriage for family alliances meant keeping up appearances and living separately.

Su Yunwan: ...

Well, it wasn't anyone's fault. They just hadn't communicated before the wedding. What could they do? Get divorced.

After regaining her freedom, Su Yunwan hadn't even had a chance to carry out her travel plans when her manager packed her off to a dating reality show.

She figured it wasn't very appropriate for a divorcee like her to join the show, and planned to make a brief appearance before leaving. But once she arrived, she discovered one of the guests was just as shameless a divorcee as she was.

Uh, her ex-wife.

Everyone knows that the eldest daughter of the Shen family is aloof and proud, with a beautiful face and no heart beneath it.

But on the show, she lowers her head and bends over to personally wash the hands of guest Su Yunwan and cook for her.

Though it tastes so awful that Su Yunwan throws up after eating it.

No, actually, she's pregnant.

Su Yunwan: ...How did I end up with a share of hidden assets?

*

Shen Yu thought she'd simply started and ended an unsuitable marriage, until all kinds of aftereffects began appearing after the divorce.

She keeps wanting to know what her ex-wife is doing.

Uh, she went on a dating show.

And the show features not only her ex-wife's idol, an award-winning actress, but also her ex-wife's ideal type, a cute sweetheart, the older sister who has quietly been by her side for years, and a gentle, sophisticated young professor whom no one could dislike.

Shen Yu: .

Her symptoms have officially been diagnosed as jealousy. An inexhaustible supply of jealousy.

Reading Guide: Pregnancy setting. A laid-back, open-minded, tempting uke who doesn't know she's tempting, paired with a cold and aloof mad seme. A calm kind of madness. Light, fun, pure-sugar fluff~

Blurb: It turns out that even adults can secretly abandon a drunk classmate on the street after a group dinner. Chen Nianqian was the one they deliberately left behind, but she wasn't actually drunk. Her face was so red because she was sick.

Chen Nianqian couldn't be bothered to call them out. As soon as they left, she headed to the river, letting the wind blow as the lights painted her features in bright colors.

A gentle voice sounded behind her.

"Don't stand in the wind when you're sick."

"And don't drink, either."

What a busybody.

Chen Nianqian thought, not even turning around as she replied with a sarcastic jab, "Can't do this, can't do that. Then how about I go home with you to get out of the wind and have some porridge? Is that allowed?"

The voice fell silent, apparently stumped by her sharp tongue.

After a long pause:

"I live just across the river. Can you walk on your own?"

Chen Nianqian: ...

What level of self-righteous do-gooder is this?

What a weirdo.

Chen Nianqian finally turned around to look at the do-gooder, and was caught off guard by the earnest concern in her eyes. On a chilly autumn day, Chen Nianqian felt herself fall into a warm spring breeze.

For one dazed moment, she awkwardly looked away and staggered off from the riverside.

Qin Zhimian had watched a girl for many years, quietly keeping her in her heart. One day, she finally worked up the courage to approach her.

She got scolded.

Next up: My Yet-Unmet Mad Ex-Wife

Blurb: Jiang Zhao responds to an emergency call in an affluent neighborhood, where a resident has fallen from a high-rise.

After performing first aid, Jiang Zhao sees the injured woman regain consciousness. Covered in blood, she points angrily in one direction, accusing someone of murder. Jiang Zhao follows her gaze and sees the suspect being questioned by the police. One hand rests on a cane, and beneath her black brocade qipao, her slightly lame left leg is plainly visible. She is so beautiful, so elegant.

Jiang Zhao can't look away in time. The woman notices her looking and meets her eyes. After a few seconds, she suddenly smiles. Ignoring the victim's tearful, bloodied accusation and the police's questions, she gently asks Jiang Zhao from a distance:

"Responding to calls in an ambulance must be exhausting. Would you like to come work at my home?"

That was the first time Jiang Zhao met Xie Qianling.

A dangerous woman accused several times by her own lover of emotional abuse, and even of attempted murder.

When they meet again, the woman asks her, "Would you like to be my lover?"

Jiang Zhao: "..."

Everyone who knows Jiang Zhao believes she's married. Her wife is dead, and she loves only her late wife.

Jiang Zhao has never told anyone that she was never married. She simply admires someone who once dragged her out of a muddy abyss. She has never met that person, but has imagined all kinds of things about her. To put an end to the endless blind dates, she pretended to be married.

She must be a gentle person, Jiang Zhao imagines.

Later, Jiang Zhao learns that she's a beautiful madwoman.

And now that madwoman has become even crazier after learning that the person she loves is keeping a dead woman company in widowhood.

Reading Guide: Calm and resilient × dangerously beautiful. Both are virgins. A melodramatic story, no lovers.

Theme: Don't fear the future, and don't let the present down. Life's path is never smooth, whether or not you are married. Face difficulties head-on.
