After Our Divorce, My Scumbag Ex Begged Me on His Knees to Come Back

Everyone in the capital said that Shen Yishu, a merchant's daughter of lowly birth, was blessed beyond measure to marry Gu Jingmo, a man from a respectable scholarly family.

But on their wedding day, Gu Jingmo fell off a cliff and died a tragic death.

Burdened by blame and scorn, and mocked by the entire capital, she married into the Gu family and became a widow.

She dutifully cared for her parents-in-law, raised her sister-in-law, and used her dowry to support the entire Gu household.

Who could have imagined that two years later, Gu Jingmo, supposedly dead, would return with a woman he intended to marry as his secondary wife?

Shen Yishu's heart turned cold, and she asked for a divorce.

Gu Jingmo: “You're confined to the inner household, full of schemes. Kui'er, on the other hand, is as calm and pure as a chrysanthemum. She never fights for anything and doesn't care about the things you obsess over. She just wants to stay by my side. Why can't you accept her?”

Shen Yishu: “Full of schemes? Fine. I'll show you what real scheming looks like!”

The Gu family prided itself on its good name and cared deeply about its reputation and respectability?

Then she'd tear away their hypocritical facade and show everyone the filth hidden beneath their respectable exterior!

The Gu family looked down on her for being a merchant's daughter, with both parents dead and no one to rely on, and tried to poison her?

Then she'd turn the tables, seize the evidence, and send them straight to prison!

After risking everything and tearing all ties apart, she finally got her divorce papers!

Later...

When a snow disaster struck the northern border, she donated money and supplies.

When floods ravaged Cangzhou, she generously gave her wealth to those in need.

When an epidemic broke out, she was a brilliant woman doctor who saved countless lives.

When a foreign nation invaded, she was a skilled martial artist and a female Zhuge Liang, full of brilliant strategies.

Only then did Gu Jingmo realize he'd misjudged her.

She wasn't a petty woman of the inner household, full of schemes and fixated on every little thing.

She was the moon among the clouds and the snow of the Heavenly Mountains, devoted to the greater good, compassionate toward all living beings, and committed to helping the whole world.

But by then, another man was already standing by her side, her equal in every way.
