After Three Years Alone, I Asked for a Divorce. The Dandy Marquis Knelt by the Bed to Beg Me to Stay

Three years ago, Gu Yunshu planned to elope with the man she loved, only to be abandoned on the day they had agreed to leave.

Just then, the Gu family fell into ruin. Her father was imprisoned, and her mother fell gravely ill.

With tears in her eyes, she married into the marquis's household and became Xiao Ce'an's wife.

To save her father and fulfill her mother's dying wish, she kept her talents hidden and stayed in line.

For three years, she never fought or grew jealous, never complained or made a scene. Her husband carried on with his womanizing ways, while she shut herself away and kept out of his affairs.

Everyone laughed at her for being meek and submissive. She simply believed it was all worthwhile, as long as she could protect the Gu family.

It wasn't until the truth tore everything apart that she finally realized:

Three years of patience, three years of sacrifice, three years of suffering, all of it had merely paved the way for someone else. From beginning to end, it had all been a joke.

She decided to stop living for others and cut ties with the life she had now.

The moment she handed over the divorce agreement, her usually indifferent husband went red-eyed, experiencing bone-deep panic for the first time.

"I won't let you go. Not in this lifetime!"

She simply smiled gently, turned around, and never looked back.
