Good Things Happen [Marriage Before Love]

Main story complete | Marriage before love | The wife-chasing crematorium

The young master of the Jin family, the most powerful family in City A, secretly married Jiang Hao, a modest girl from a small town in the south.

Their vastly different backgrounds made everyone doubt the marriage, including Jiang Hao herself.

But she still clung to hope.

At a dinner party, Jiang Hao wore a wedding ring that didn't fit.

As glasses clinked, she spotted her husband from across the room, standing beside a dazzling beauty. They looked so right together.

Someone taunted her, "Ninety percent of the people here are betting that you and Jin Siyan will divorce within a year."

Jiang Hao answered with difficulty, "They bet right."

-

The Faroe Islands, a forgotten place at the edge of the world. Like her journey there alone, the place was lonely and free.

Jiang Hao decided to leave the person in her heart behind.

She wrote the final words on a postcard: "Whether things are good or bad doesn't matter anymore. Jin Siyan, the road ahead is long, so let's end things here."

Along with the postcard, sent across the ocean back home, was a divorce agreement she'd prepared long ago.

A few months later, Jiang Hao stood onstage to accept an award at the Top 100 Awards.

The camera swept across the audience, where the distinguished Mr. Jin sat among the investors.

As Jiang Hao passed him with her trophy, Jin Siyan grabbed her hand. She merely said coolly, "Mr. Jin, please show some restraint."

Reporters surrounded Jin Siyan, asking if he and his ex-wife were rekindling their romance.

Jin Siyan smiled bitterly.

"I wish that were true."

"She could be in Iceland, Tibet, or the Haba Snow Mountain, but she won't be by my side."

-

"Hao, having you is what makes good things happen to me."
