This Is Where the Marriage Ends, Miss Lu Will Never Look Back!

Their secret marriage made Lu Hailan a useful pawn, cleaning up Jing Linshen's messes and helping him regain control of his family.

On the day her law firm opened, Jing Linshen's new flame showed up at the ceremony with a baby bump, causing a scene. She livestreamed her accusations, berating Lu Hailan as a shameless homewrecker who had knowingly become the other woman and was unfit to practice law.

Lu Hailan didn't get angry or flustered. She calmly pulled up their electronic marriage certificate and easily proved her innocence to the entire internet, winning back her clients' trust.

After the ceremony, reporters photographed Lu Hailan heading to court to file for divorce.

Everyone said she was trying to cash in on the attention and claim a larger share of the assets.

To their surprise, Lu Hailan presented her lawsuit. She was only seeking to recover the marital assets Jing Linshen had given to his mistress, so she could fund the education of girls from poor families.

Then people said she was overestimating herself, foolishly trying to take on the entire Jing family's legal team alone.

No one expected Lu Hailan to win the case. She became famous overnight.

Jing Linshen, who had always done whatever he pleased, even brought his whole entourage of girlfriends to publicly set the record straight in an effort to keep Lu Hailan. Night after night, he knelt and begged her not to leave.

"Those rumors were just to make you jealous. I've never loved anyone but you."

"When we got married, I swore that only death would part us. I don't accept the divorce ruling."

Later.

At a lawyers' summit, a reporter asked Lu Hailan:

"Attorney Lu, your career has been so successful. Will you consider remarrying next?"

Lu Hailan smiled and asked in return, "Why do you never ask men that question?"

The reporters in the room saw just how sharp Attorney Lu was and had no answer.

"Take the word for marriage and split it apart: the woman loses her head, the woman becomes a prisoner. I have money and free time, family and friends. I won't be losing my head and willingly entering a cage anytime soon!"

After that remark, Lu Hailan was hailed as a goddess who embodied the idea of staying clearheaded in a crazy world.

But her many suitors, including the young billionaire and the Crown Prince of the capital, were left heartbroken.
