[The Untouchable One Falls from His Pedestal and Lies Awake Every Night]
Shen Tingchuan had eyes only for his research. His new wife bullied his younger siblings and had a scandalous reputation, so someone called him home to catch her in the act.
But when he got there, his new wife was stunning, flirtatious, and full of coy charm. She wrapped her arms around his waist in the rain and hid in his embrace, then crept into his bed in the middle of the night and asked him to sleep with her.
He thought it was all part of her schemes, but his restraint finally gave way, and there was no turning back.
Yet just as he fell for her, he discovered that she had no feelings for him at all. She calmly threw a divorce agreement at him.

The moment Zhu Jiayin opened her eyes, she had returned to the 1970s and gained a cool, composed husband.
The original owner had beaten and abused both of the Shen family's children, and everyone saw her as a wicked woman.
After taking a deep breath, Jiayin decided that since her husband disliked her, she would lay down three rules with him. They agreed to divorce in a year.
But when she held out the divorce papers and asked him to sign, her husband turned around and shut the door, lowering his voice as he pleaded, "Wife, can you really bear to divorce me?"
