1977.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, at the family compound of the Southern Military Region of China, at the home of a division commander.

"Let's get a divorce!" Huo Jian'an sat on the sofa with Lin Miaoyin, who was crying like a pear blossom in the rain, in his arms, and looked coldly at Ye Zhaoyu, who was smiling and indifferent.

As soon as Huo Jianan finished speaking, everyone in the living room focused their attention on Ye Zhaoyu.

"No, I disagree." Before Ye Zhaoyu could speak, Old Master Huo, who was sitting next to her, slammed his hand on the table and loudly expressed his opposition.

"Brother Jian'an, please don't get a divorce because of me, otherwise Grandpa Huo will think I came back on purpose to destroy your family," Lin Miaoyin said timidly, tears streaming down her face.

"Don't worry, I'll handle this. I don't love that woman surnamed Ye. Even without you, I would divorce her." Huo Jian'an comforted Lin Miaoyin, then looked at Old Master Huo with a stubborn expression. "Grandpa, this divorce is a must. Otherwise, I will take Miaoyin and leave the Huo family."

"Are you trying to drive your grandfather to his death? I said no, and that's final." Old Master Huo was furious.

Ye Zhaoyu quickly comforted Grandpa Huo, "Grandpa, don't be angry. It's not worth getting sick over other people's problems."

"Xiaoyu, it's Grandpa's fault. Believe me, no matter what, Grandpa will never agree to your divorce." Old Master Huo held Ye Zhaoyu's hand tightly and comforted her.

"Zhaoyu, I'm begging you, please let Jian'an go! She's been married to you for five years and hasn't come home once in all five years. Marriage isn't about making enemies. Please have pity on me, her mother." Seeing that Old Master Huo disagreed, Huo Jian'an's mother, Li Yaping, knelt beside Ye Zhaoyu and begged her to let go.

"Yes, Ye Zhaoyu, you should hurry up and agree. You've already wasted five years of Huo Jian'an's time, do you want to waste his whole life too?"

"That's right. If you hadn't insisted, why would Jian'an have married you?"

“That’s right. Since you married into the family, Jian’an hasn’t been home for five years. As soon as Miaoyin came back, Jian’an came back too. If I were you, I would have left long ago, to let others go and to let myself go.”

Before Ye Zhaoyu could speak, the aunts and gossipy women around her began to offer their advice.

Everyone begged Ye Zhaoyu to let Huo Jian'an go and get a divorce as soon as possible.

Ye Zhaoyu looked at the people around her. Apart from Old Master Huo, everyone was advising her to get a divorce and let Huo Jian'an go.

"I..." Ye Zhaoyu wanted to say that she agreed to get married.

"Mom, you don't need to beg her. Get up quickly. No matter what, I'm going to divorce her." Huo Jian'an saw Li Yaping kneeling down and begging Ye Zhaoyu, so he quickly went up to help her up.

"Ye Zhaoyu, your mother-in-law has knelt down and begged you, why don't you hurry up and agree to the marriage?" Before Ye Zhaoyu could speak, the others immediately started criticizing her.

Huo Jianan tried to help Li Yaping up for a long time but couldn't.

Ye Zhaoyu used a little force to help Li Yaping up and agreed to the divorce, saying, "Auntie, please get up first. I agree to the divorce."

"Really? You really agree to a divorce? Okay, okay, let's get the divorce done right away." Li Yaping stopped crying the moment she heard Ye Zhaoyu agree to the divorce.

"No, I don't agree, Xiaoyu..." When Old Master Huo heard that Ye Zhaoyu agreed to the divorce, he became anxious and fainted because he couldn't catch his breath.

When Grandpa Huo fainted, the living room immediately descended into chaos. "Quickly, get Grandpa Huo to the hospital!"

"Ye Zhaoyu, if anything happens to Grandpa, I won't let you off the hook." Huo Jian'an said, holding Grandpa Huo and glaring fiercely at Ye Zhaoyu.

After saying that, they pushed Ye Zhaoyu aside and hurriedly took Old Master Huo to the hospital.

Ye Zhaoyu lost her balance and fell to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, the room was empty.

Only Ye Zhaoyu and Lin Miaoyin remained.

Lin Miaoyin walked up to Ye Zhaoyu, pinched Ye Zhaoyu's chin with her hand, and mocked, "Look at me, even though I'm married and have children, Jian'an still loves me the most. So what if you married him? As soon as I come back, he'll divorce his wife and marry me."

Ye Zhaoyu forcefully shook off Lin Miaoyin's hand and grabbed Lin Miaoyin's neck instead. "If you're sick, go to the hospital for treatment. Don't act crazy in front of me. I'm a madwoman. Madwomen don't have to pay with their lives for killing people. Besides, I have a particularly bad temper. My favorite thing to do is strangle someone."

Lin Miaoyin felt a little flustered when she heard Ye Zhaoyu's words, but she said, "You're just jealous! Are you so jealous of me that you're going crazy and that's why you want to strangle me?"

"Am I jealous of you? Am I jealous that you're uglier than me? Am I jealous that you're always chasing after men? Or am I jealous that you're ruthless?"

Ye Zhaoyu released Lin Miaoyin, stood up, and looked at Lin Miaoyin with a haughty and expressionless expression.

After regaining her freedom, Lin Miaoyin hurriedly gasped for breath and looked up at Ye Zhaoyu with a sinister expression.

Ye Zhaoyu pretended not to see anything and followed everyone to the hospital.

At the hospital.

After waking up, Old Master Huo looked around but didn't see Ye Zhaoyu.

"Where is Xiaoyu? What did you do to Xiaoyu?"

"Grandpa, please rest well first. If you want to see Ye Zhaoyu, we'll go and call her right away." Huo Jian'an quickly reassured his grandfather, who was so excited about seeing Ye Zhaoyu.

When Ye Zhaoyu arrived at Old Master Huo's ward, she heard that Old Master Huo had already woken up.

"Grandpa Huo, are you alright?" Ye Zhaoyu pulled Huo Jian'an away and asked with concern.

"It's alright, I'm in good health." When Grandpa Huo saw Ye Zhaoyu coming over, he quickly and happily invited her to sit down.

Everyone around Ye Zhaoyu was green with envy.

They also came to hate Old Master Huo.
