Madam Wants a Divorce

After her family fell from power, Wen Yuan married, though she was quite unwilling.

Her husband, Xu Qingshi, was like a breeze through pines and moonlight over water, like a precious jade orchid in a courtyard. He was the dream man of many young noblewomen in the capital, but not hers.

Wen Yuan had no feelings for him. She had always seen him only as an older brother, never imagining that the supposed repayment of a debt, which was really a forced marriage, would one day befall her.

Xu Qingshi was just as controlling as ever, if not more so. He even dictated how she wore her hair, what she ate for breakfast, and what color undergarments she put on.

As their married life dragged on day after day, Wen Yuan felt as if she could hardly breathe.

.

From the beginning, Xu Qingshi had never been content to be just her good older brother.

So he planned out a life with Wen Yuan, patiently waiting for her coming of age.

But after that day finally came, an unexpected little complication arose with the woman he loved.

She fell in love with someone else.

.

It didn't matter.

A disobedient little bird only had to be carried back to its nest.

He would set everything right again.

He would be her good husband for life, the husband who would share her grave after she died. He swore they would never be apart.

After they married, he poured every effort into loving and cherishing her, and came up with every kind of way to please her in bed. He thought they would go on loving each other like this forever, until three years later, when his gentle, refined wife suddenly handed him a separation agreement scented with ink.
