The Madam Is Determined to Get a Divorce

My next novel will be [After Giving Myself to My Late Husband's Elder Brother]. Please add it to your favorites!

Jiang Ying had skin like ice and bones like jade, an ethereal beauty, and was just the right age to find a husband. She had thought she would marry a young man from a similarly distinguished family.

However, because the emperor was suspicious of her, she was betrothed to Wei Yun, a man from humble origins who was rumored to be cruel, ruthless, and merciless.

She never expected to become a loving couple with Wei Yun. After their wedding, she was cautious and proper in every way, all so that one day she could divorce him.

It was only when her father was framed and thrown into prison that Jiang Ying realized the marriage, arranged out of suspicion, had been a scheme from the very beginning.

To save her father's life, she had no choice but to learn to be a considerate, gentle wife. During the time she kept up the act, even she began to feel as if she had fallen in love with him.

But then she discovered that Wei Yun saw her as nothing more than a tool for producing heirs, and that anyone else could take her place.

After her father was finally cleared of all charges, Wei Yun left for the border. Jiang Ying waved goodbye through her tears, then calmly turned around and began packing.

She did not want to live like a pawn, and she was sick of being so meek and accommodating. She staged her own death and finally got away.

At first, Wei Yun never cared who he married. In his eyes, a wife who managed the household, bore children, and was virtuous and gentle was all he could ask for.

Jiang Ying happened to meet all those expectations.

This was exactly the kind of marriage he wanted. Yet, at some point, Wei Yun realized that his wife was distant and formal with him, and always so careful. Sometimes, she would even show him tender concern.

It should have pleased him, but for no reason he could name, it stirred a trace of violence in him.

Then one day, he discovered his wife secretly taking contraceptive pills. Later, he even witnessed his usually cautious wife, drunk and muttering to herself:

"Brother Huai, I do have feelings for you. It's just that I'm married now..."

Her words were full of regret.

Wei Yun listened in silence, but could not stop himself from crushing the teacup in his hand.

Her courteous distance was a lie. Her cold-heartedness was real.

His wife had never loved him, and she had a childhood sweetheart she had once been engaged to.

The day he left for the border, he saw tears on her face and reluctance in her farewell. But her eyes were perfectly clear. Forced to accept the truth, Wei Yun thought that when he returned, whether she loved him or not, she would still belong to him.

But he never expected his wife to run away.

The woman who had always followed the rules and never made a single mistake had boldly plotted her own death, all to sever her ties with him for good.

Wei Yun laughed in a rage.

His wife seemed not to know that once he had made up his mind, no one could make him change it.

So she would be his wife forever.

A seemingly gentle and respectful noblewoman with a rebellious streak to the core VS a general of humble origins who longs for a quiet life but is forced to seize her by force
