After I Kicked My Husband from My Previous Life to the Curb

As Chi Jiao lay dying, she thought: In her next life, she never wanted to meet Sheng Jingshi again. She never wanted to love him or marry him, either.

But after she died, she wasn't reborn. Instead, she returned to the family banquet from when she was sixteen!

Her father was asking whether Sheng Jingshi was married. The handsome top scholar, only twenty years old, hadn't answered yet when Chi Jiao blurted out, "I won't marry him!"

Sheng Jingshi, who had been about to seize the opportunity to ask for her hand, froze with a smile on his face.

After the banquet, her mother pulled her aside and asked why.

Chi Jiao warily glanced around, then lowered her voice. "It's not that I don't think he's good enough. It's just that he's not marriage material!"

Her mother asked, "Why isn't he marriage material?"

Chi Jiao replied, "He can't have children. He's not marriage material!"

Even if Sheng Jingshi was handsome, a top scholar, and destined to become the youngest chancellor of the Three Ministries in Great Zhou, he couldn't have children!

She had been married to him for eighteen years. They should have been surrounded by children and grandchildren, but she died alone. What else could it mean but that he couldn't have children?!

A man who can't have children is not marriage material!

Hidden nearby, Sheng Jingshi heard every word: What???!!!

*

Sheng Jingshi died three years after his wife passed away.

Looking back on his life before he died, he had done right by the people of the world, his parents, and his mentor. The only person he had wronged was his beloved wife.

When he opened his eyes again, Sheng Jingshi had returned to the age of twenty.

The things he regretted hadn't happened yet, and his wife was still waiting for him to come ask for her hand.

Full of hope, Sheng Jingshi went to the Chi residence, only to hear Chi Jiao reject him on the spot.

Sheng Jingshi couldn't understand. In his previous life, his wife had cherished him like a treasure. Why did she ignore him in this life and even want to marry someone else?

Then, by chance, he heard her say, "He's fine as a friend, but he's not marriage material."

Sheng Jingshi could take no more. He pinned Chi Jiao against a corner of the wall and demanded, "What makes me unfit?"

Chi Jiao had no good reason, but answered boldly anyway: "You can't have children, so of course you're not marriage material!"

Sheng Jingshi: ?????

Was this his problem? It was a problem for every man in the world!
