Synopsis

After years of marriage, Cui Lingrong always believed she was happy. Her husband respected her, she had children of both sexes, and she held the household reins firmly in her hands. She had thought Song Shulan was simply absorbed in his official career and uninterested in romance, but that their hearts were still in harmony. Then she returned home from mourning a relative to find that Song Shulan had taken another wife. Her mother-in-law told her, “You should be magnanimous.” Song Shulan said, “It was necessary for my career.” She lowered her eyes and swallowed all her bitterness in silence. But one rainy night, she learned that his new wife was the unattainable first love of Song Shulan's youth, while she herself had merely been a convenient prop in his life. So, the year she was awarded a noblewoman's title, Cui Lingrong asked to end their marriage. ~ Song Shulan never imagined that his proper, rule-abiding first wife could look so alluring in another man's arms, her cheeks flushed and her eyes sparkling. He had never seen her so vibrant and bewitching. He rushed forward in a fit of jealousy to confront her, only to watch her calmly straighten her clothes. The loosened neckline revealed glaring marks. “Lord Song,” she said, her voice soft and cool, “we're strangers now. What right do you have to question me?”
