Name: The Heir Apparent's Wife After the Divorce
Author: Gentler Than Porridge

Synopsis

Marrying Wen Luan into the marquis's household was probably the greatest regret of Gu Jingyao's life.

After all, he was born into a distinguished family, with a noble bearing, a handsome face, and extraordinary talent.

She, by contrast, was merely the daughter of a lowly merchant, uneducated in literature and ignorant of proper etiquette. All she had going for her was skin as fair as jade and a breathtakingly beautiful face.

Gu Jingyao argued with his father, Marquis Xuanping, for a long time, trying to escape the marriage.

But Marquis Xuanping was stubborn. He refused to break the childhood betrothal, no matter what.

At the time, Gu Jingyao held a low-ranking position and had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

But he always believed that he should have married the celebrated beauty, Liu Yunmei, from the Old Scholar's household.

To rid himself of Wen Luan and marry the woman he loved as soon as possible,

Gu Jingyao worked diligently from dawn to dusk and eventually rose to the ranks of the highest ministers, no longer subject to his father's control.

That day, riding high on his success, he slapped a divorce agreement down in front of Wen Luan.

He had never felt so exhilarated in his life.

Gu Jingyao's mother was delighted, too.

She eagerly threw Wen Luan's shabby dowry out the door,

then smiled warmly and invited her to come back for the wedding feast one day.

Wen Luan didn't utter a word. Afterward, she never caused the marquis's household the slightest trouble.

She was so obedient that all the servants in the household felt sorry for her.

Gu Jingyao had never imagined that one day he would miss her.

He even found that he could barely fall asleep at night unless he held one of the brightly colored undergarments she had left behind.

He still insisted that Wen Luan wasn't his destined match.

But why was he starting to feel that Liu Yunmei couldn't hold a candle to her in any way?

After three months of anguish, the minister with red-rimmed eyes finally realized the truth.

Without her, he couldn't survive a single day.

Gu Jingyao's mother felt sorry for her son. She planned to lower herself and take the abandoned wife Wen Luan as his concubine, while also rescuing her from poverty and hardship.

But she never expected Wen Luan to be living in the grandest residence in the capital,

with gilded carriages and more than a dozen handsome servants...

Today's chapter is a bit strange. Generally, the emperor's marriage would not be so inexplicable, and it is impossible to ask the woman herself. No matter what, she would ask her parents, not to mention that the man has no intention. Normally, this kind of thing would not happen, unless the emperor is taking drugs [Shut up]

Didn't the heroine say she won't say a word to the hero? Why did she say so much? It's better to say nice words, but I would be too lazy to tell him, and even if I did, I would just say it's none of my business! They divorced happily at the beginning, regardless of the heroine's feelings, and now they regret it, what does it have to do with the heroine?

The male protagonist really has a brain problem, so we really need to force him to have the halo of being the protagonist, right? After all this, you still can't see clearly that this stupid family is pretending to be here in the name of saving the teacher. Can't you admit that you are blind to everyone?

Ms. Liu is about to become the protagonist, and the female lead role is not as important as hers. She should be the one who brought the money to join the cast 😂

With the way the male protagonist treated the female protagonist before, and the fact that he cheated on his female partner during marriage, can he be called a gentleman? Let's not talk about the male protagonist, but the male protagonist's family, will the female protagonist suffer the consequences of marrying into another family?

No, can such a man be called a gentleman? I can't disobey my father's orders. Just take your anger out on the heroine, and make peace with her as soon as she becomes successful. The divorce is not just about getting together and breaking up, but slandering her. With such a family, how can the male protagonist be better off? We haven't reconciled yet, but we are unclear with the female partner, saying there is a misunderstanding, misunderstanding that the female partner is the savior? So he will love whoever saves him? He said that he was chasing the heroine, but he was not sincere. When he returned to the Hou Mansion, the heroine still had to suffer and be used as a wallet. Why?

It's impossible to humiliate Mrs. Gaoming by casually announcing her to the palace! Not even the Queen Mother, let alone a concubine, the censor will impeach her

The scumbag is of no use at all. He can't deal with the male partner here, and he can't deal with the family members here. Even the Queen Mother's tricks couldn't solve it. I haven't done anything for the heroine, I'm just showing off here.
