After Three Years Alone, I Asked for a Divorce. The Dandy Marquis Knelt by the Bed to Beg Me to Stay

Three years ago, Gu Yunshu had planned to elope with the man she loved and flee to the ends of the earth, only to be abandoned on the day they were supposed to meet.

Just then, the Gu family fell apart. Her father was imprisoned, and her mother fell gravely ill.

With tears in her eyes, she married into the marquis's household and became Xiao Ce'an's wife.

To save her father and fulfill her mother's dying wish, she kept her sharp edges hidden and stayed in her place.

For three years, she neither fought nor grew jealous, neither complained nor made a scene. While her husband caroused elsewhere, she stayed behind closed doors and paid no heed to the world.

Everyone laughed at her for being meek and submissive. She simply thought it was all worth it, as long as she could keep the Gu family safe.

Only when the truth tore everything apart did she realize:

Three years of patience, three years of sacrifice, three years of humiliation: all of it had been for someone else's benefit. From beginning to end, it had all been a joke.

She decided to stop living for others and cut ties with the life she had now.

The moment she handed over the divorce agreement, her usually indifferent husband had tears in his eyes. For the first time, he felt a bone-deep panic.

"I won't let you go. Not in this life!"

She only smiled softly, then turned and never looked back.
