You Want Her to Take the Fall for Your First Love? I’m Done with You, You and Your Son

(A father-and-sons redemption arc + strong female lead) Gu Xi endured five years of cold treatment from her husband’s family. She thought time would warm their hearts, but all it brought was an even deeper betrayal. On their wedding anniversary, her husband told her to take the blame for his first love. Her twin sons accused her of being cold-blooded and heartless, saying they’d rather have a thief for a mother. At last, her heart went cold. She drew up the divorce papers, gave up custody, and left with her head held high. During the two years she was gone, she returned to her old career and rose to the highest stage of classical dance, basking in flowers and applause. She was no longer a drudge trapped in the home. Down below, her husband and sons wept and begged her to come back. They engineered chance encounters and made opportunities, all just to get her to look at them again. She scoffed. “Ji Muli, isn’t it a little late to say all this now?” Her two sons clung to her legs, their eyes brimming with tears. “Mom! You can give up on Dad, but you can’t give up on us. You and we are the best in the whole world!”
