The Fussy ’70S Bride Calls Off the Wedding: Why Fight Over a Man When You Can Go to College!

In her previous life, Shen Qingru went lame rescuing Song Xiuming, a young educated youth, from drowning. In return, he told her, “I’ll marry you. Consider it repayment.” She believed him and willingly spent fifteen years as his substitute wife. She cared for his sick mother, shouldered the burdens of both families, and let her entire youth slip away for his sake. But on New Year’s Eve, after taking a seven-day train journey to spend the holiday with him, she was met with divorce papers and mushroom-and-pork dumplings made by the woman he had always loved. As she froze to death in the snow, she heard him say, “I never loved you.” Then she was reborn. Song Xiuming thrashed in the water, waiting for her to save him. She turned and ran. In this life, she wanted no man. She wanted to study, take the college entrance exam, and move to the city! Her blind date, Fu Cheng, handed her a bankbook as a betrothal gift. “Whatever you want to do after we marry, I’ll support you.” But Song Xiuming, his eyes red, stopped her. “Shen Qingru, didn’t you say you’d never marry anyone but me?” Shen Qingru smiled. “Sorry, but these days I think going to college is better than finding a man.”
