A Second Wife in the Household? I'll Ruin Your Whole Family, Divorce You, and Remarry!

Shen Shiyue married her childhood sweetheart, only for her husband to leave for war on the very night of their wedding, by imperial decree.

She waited three long years, only for him to return with another woman and tell her:

"Don't worry. She'll only be my secondary wife. I won't divorce you."

Shen Shiyue spat and walked away.

Who would treasure a rotten cucumber? As if she cared!

Wei Ziqian thought Shen Shiyue was being far too headstrong, and that sooner or later she'd regret leaving him.

After their divorce, he waited every day for her to come back in tears and admit she was wrong.

But after a few days, Shen Shiyue went to the frontier.

A few more days passed, and Shen Shiyue earned military honors.

A few more days passed, and Shen Shiyue was named the court's first female general. Prince Ling arrived with ten miles of wedding gifts, asking to marry into her family.

Day after day, Wei Ziqian could only watch as Shen Shiyue rose beyond his reach, becoming someone he could never touch again.

In the end, he was the one who regretted it most.
