The Matriarch Divorces Her Husband and Marries the Crown Prince, Leaving Her Ex-Husband in Tears

[The groveling chase after a wife + the other man wins her heart + soapy, satisfying romance] After accidentally transmigrating into a book, Shen Yunjiao found herself in an ancient melodrama. Her husband had been away on assignment for two years, and the first thing he did upon returning was announce that he wanted to take the woman who had saved his life as a secondary wife. Shen Yunjiao cried, not from heartbreak, but from sheer joy. He wanted a concubine? Fine, but only after a divorce! Desperate to return to her maiden home, the Chancellor's residence, and lie flat in comfort, Shen Yunjiao threw herself into the business of getting divorced. Little did she know, her obsessive husband believed everything she did was a ploy to make him chase her. He cursed her, humiliated her, even imprisoned her, convinced that Shen Yunjiao was still deeply in love with him. It wasn't until she asked to divorce him in the Golden Throne Hall that Pei Zhixuan realized Shen Yunjiao had stopped loving him long ago.

The day Shen Yunjiao asked for a divorce, rain poured down and thunder boomed. The once aloof and proud heir to the title stood drenched outside her door, his voice hoarse from pleading, begging her to take back the divorce papers. Inside, the room was warm with fragrant incense. The dignified, scheming Crown Prince held her tightly against him, nuzzling her cheek with a calm expression. His voice was low, yet carried a hint of pleading: “Jiaojiao, don't go see him.”

“Jiaojiao, I'm better than he is. Could you look at me a little more?”

Shen Yunjiao: We can talk about anything, but could you undo the shackles you've put around my wrists first?

Xiao Huaijin believed his life would remain dark and chaotic forever, until one night, under the heavy dew, a woman came shining into his world and freed him from his suffering. So what if she was the heir's wife? So what if she was the daughter of a powerful minister? If marrying her by force wouldn't work, he would gladly become her substitute, just to have her.
