Five Years of IVF, Then You Ask for a Divorce? You Want Me to Marry Your Brother? Have You Lost Your Mind?

[The powerful man bows his head] [The second male lead takes the lead] [The scumbag gets his comeuppance] [Angst before sweetness] [A long-planned scheme]

After five years of marriage, Ming Shuwan endured five painful years of IVF treatments to have a child with Zhou Jingnian.

Instead, she found out he'd cheated on her and had a child with their family's young maid. Now he was handing her divorce papers to sign.

Her face was pale, her abdomen covered in tiny pinpricks from IVF injections, but all she got was a casual remark from the maid.

"I didn't know getting pregnant was so easy."

Her husband was just as dismissive. "Don't blame Jiaojiao. You're the one who can't have children. You embarrassed me."

Five years of IVF, and all it had proved was how foolish she'd been. Her heart turned to ash, and she walked away.

Everyone laughed at her, saying she wouldn't survive without Zhou Jingnian.

Even Zhou Jingnian was convinced she'd come crawling back sooner or later.

Until the celebration banquet for the rediscovery of a bronze artifact that had caused a sensation across the city.

Dressed in elegant finery, she stood beneath the spotlights, confident and poised. She was a top restorer, one money could never persuade to take a job.

In a dim corridor where no one else could see, Zhou Jingnian witnessed his usually stern and imposing older brother, Zhou Chenxu, pin her against the wall and kiss her passionately.

His eyes bloodshot, Zhou Jingnian rushed toward them, his voice breaking. "Wanwan! You're my wife!"

Ming Shuwan gently pushed Zhou Chenxu away. When she turned, her lips were still flushed, but her eyes were icy.

She linked her arm through Zhou Chenxu's and smiled at her ex-husband, enunciating every word:

"Listen carefully."

"From now on, call me... sister-in-law."
