The Cool Beauty Wants a Divorce? The Young Lord Regrets It Deeply

Xie Zhiqing died with regrets.

For over a decade, she was the heir's wife. She schemed tirelessly to help Pei Hengzhang secure his position, manage the household, and carry his child three times, only to lose each baby. In the end, consumption ravaged her, and she died alone and cold in the Tangli Courtyard.

As she lay dying, she finally heard his mocking remark: That scheming, sinister woman? She wouldn't die so easily.

Her spirit lingered. She watched him take his childhood sweetheart as a concubine and watched other women safely bear his children. Then she crushed her lingering attachment and swore that in her next life, she would never give him even a shred of affection.

When she opened her eyes, she was back on the snowy night she had miscarried her first child. She no longer hoped for anything from Pei Hengzhang. Instead, she focused on recovering, preparing to divorce him, leave the estate, and live a leisurely life on her own.

Pei Hengzhang still had the same harsh, cold face, and his words were knives that only hurt people.

He didn't understand what it meant to love someone. But he gradually noticed that Xie Zhiqing, whose eyes had once held nothing but him, had grown cold, kept moving farther away, and was doing everything she could to divorce him.

How could he allow that?

"Xie Zhiqing, if you want the divorce papers, you'll have to take them over my dead body!"
