Marriage first, love later / Chasing his wife to the crematorium
1
When Song Qing wanted to divorce Gu Chengbai, everyone thought she'd gone crazy.
They went to the same high school, then their parents brought them together.
He was well educated, from a good family, tall, fair, and handsome. Even at school, he'd been known as an unattainable flower on a high mountain.
But no one knew how much pain Song Qing was in.
He was cold, rational, and distant.
Even after they married, he still treated her like a stranger.
Sometimes, even the briefest accidental touch was enough to bring a look of disgust and distaste to his face.
Later, Song Qing wrote through her tears in her notes app: I never want to love you again.

She asked for a divorce during the day.
The Rolls-Royce had just stopped outside the marriage registry when the man, who hadn't seemed to care before, suddenly grew restless. He looked as though he wanted to say something but couldn't.
"Can we not get divorced just yet?" he suddenly asked, his voice low and hoarse.
Song Qing found it strange. Just yesterday, he'd readily agreed.
"Why?" she asked.
"I don't know." The man furrowed his brow, his Adam's apple bobbing.
"I just suddenly want to try making it up to you."
#I thought I'd just have to comfort her once, but somehow I kept at it for years#
#Damn it, I should've known better than to pretend#
#I can't live without her. I'll die if we split up#
#That shady romance training school is a menace. It nearly cost me my wife. I'm suing it into bankruptcy today#
