Ex-wife-chasing drama | Soapy romance | Updated daily at midnight

Du Tang was abandoned as a child and raised as the Du family's adopted daughter. Her older brother offered her to a high-ranking official in exchange for a smooth career, but through a bizarre twist of fate, she ended up in a general's bedchamber instead.

After one night together, Du Tang became pregnant with the general's child, and the two married because of the baby.

To repay the general for buying her freedom, she willingly fulfilled her duties as a good wife: managing the household, protecting their child, and working tirelessly.

Even though she knew that Yin Jue had always kept another woman in his heart.

So Du Tang decided to hide her love deep within herself. As long as she could stay by the general's side, as long as she could catch a glimpse of him from afar, that was enough.

But after enduring a long stretch of lonely nights, Du Tang received only a letter of divorce from Yin Jue.

“Give birth to the child, then leave the general's residence at once.”

Looking at the man and woman before her, Du Tang understood that her fate was to be cast aside once the child was born.

Later, Du Tang finally understood that in this world, love was the most useless thing of all.

Years later, an exceptionally gifted embroiderer appeared at the Su Embroidery Bureau. Her skill was exquisite and her beauty rivaled Xi Shi's, earning her countless admirers. Every day, people hoping to see her lined up in a long queue.

She also always had a clever, adorable little daughter by her side. Whenever someone asked, “Little girl, where is your father?”

The little dumpling would puff up angrily and answer, “I don't have a father. I only love my mother!”

Though she secretly knew that at that very moment, her biological father, a certain great general who guarded the nation, was humbly kneeling on a washboard, all so her mother wouldn't go on a date with Young Master Xue that evening.

But her mother was unmoved, a cool smile on her lips.

“What happened in the past is long over. General, look ahead and don't bother me again.”

---- New Novel: Has General Xie’s Romance Reached Its Funeral Pyre Today? ----

Mu Rongyue was the only daughter of the Grand Princess, born to wealth and privilege. Yet she fell hopelessly in love with Xie Xianfeng, her royal brother's personal guard.

Xie Xianfeng was handsome, but cold and distant toward others.

After Xie Xianfeng was promoted to young general, her imperial uncle arranged a marriage for her. Though they were worlds apart in rank, she married beneath her station without hesitation, believing he would be moved by her devotion.

For two years after their wedding, he never so much as touched her. Every year, he was absent on their wedding anniversary.

She thought he simply didn't know how to love.

Mu Rongyue, who had never lifted a finger to do housework, gradually began cooking for her husband. The pampered young lady learned to be a good wife and win her husband's favor.

Then Mo Ying'er appeared, and Mu Rongyue saw a long-absent smile on his face.

Only then did she understand that he had another woman in his heart, his unattainable moonlight.

His coldness and indifference had been reserved for her alone.

It turned out that love was something one could learn without being taught.

Later, as Mu Rongyue lay gravely ill, Xie Xianfeng knelt outside the imperial palace for three days and nights, seeking justice for Mo Ying'er, who was imprisoned.

He burned the letters she had sent him, and in a fit of anger, blurted out,

“If she weren't here, I would already have married Ying'er. None of this would have happened.”

At last, Mu Rongyue was tired. She left him a letter of divorce.

“Xie Xianfeng, you're free.”

She would no longer try to melt the ice that refused to thaw.

Years later, they met again at a royal tea banquet, raising their cups and laughing together.

She was now the esteemed wife of the Duke of Song, while he had never married and remained alone.

After the banquet, in a dark and deserted corner, Xie Xianfeng's eyes reddened as he said hoarsely, “Every day since you left, I've been looking for you.”

She only smiled graciously.

“You were just a little bird I kept for amusement, to brighten my idle hours. How did you end up taking it seriously?”
