CompletedI was the daughter of a merchant. When I was six, my parents brought home nine-year-old Jiang Ke-yu, saying his parents had met with misfortune and he would live with us from then on.
Jiang Ke-yu was exceptionally gifted and diligent. A few years later, with my parents' nurturing and his mentor's promotion, he successfully embarked on an official career, rising to prominence.
That same year, my father fell gravely ill and entrusted me to him. My father watched us perform our wedding rites and, only after receiving his promise that he would only have me in his life, did he close his eyes in peace.
From then on, Jiang Ke-yu and I became husband and wife, treating each other with mutual respect. Six years passed in a blink.
During those six years, my husband fulfilled his promise, having only me in his inner chambers. I, too, managed the household for him and bore him a pair of children. We were polite to each other, our days peaceful and warm.
I thought it was his nature to be so cold, unsmiling, rigid, and restrained. So, even though I often felt a distance between us as a couple, I could always console myself.
Until one day, I took my children to the river to release flower lanterns. A pleasure boat slowly drifted past, and I looked up to see a talented scholar and a beautiful lady on board, chatting happily. It was my husband and his mentor's daughter.
It turned out that even someone as aloof as Jiang Ke-yu could laugh so freely. This scene was like a seed falling into my heart, taking root and sprouting, growing ever denser, occupying my heart, and suffocating me.
Even my children became cautious due to my melancholy. I couldn't go on like this, so that night, I proactively proposed a divorce. He was surprised but didn't refuse, so the separation went smoothly.
He said that even if we were no longer husband and wife, given my parents' kindness in raising him, he would still consider himself my elder brother, and I could always seek him out if I encountered difficulties. I nodded, agreeing.
Back at the old family home, with time on my hands, I started a teahouse on the bustling East Bridge Street. Every day, I welcomed and saw off guests, and my life was happier than before.
The pale scholar next door would blush at a few words from me; my two handsome shop assistants attended to my every need; the zither player from the Yaofang was a regular at my teahouse, often coming to chat and relieve my boredom...
I only just realized there were so many joys in the world, what freedom! The only slight issue was that Jiang Ke-yu, who promised to bring our children to see me every fortnight lest they miss me, started coming more and more frequently.
From every fortnight to every ten days, then five days, three days...sometimes, on his days off, he even wanted to stay at my place. I understood his intentions, but I didn't want my old life back, so I told him:
“I've fallen for a scholar, and I'm getting remarried.”
***
From the male lead's perspective: I married Ah Yuan out of gratitude, with little affection. Although we lived under the same roof for nine years, my adoptive parents always told her not to disturb her brother's studies. She was very obedient, always hiding in a corner, secretly watching me, never speaking an extra word to me.
To me, her greatest advantage was her beauty and docility. While she didn't evoke passionate love in me, she made it acceptable for me to spend my life with her.
But this docile Ah Yuan actually initiated a divorce. Since she wanted it, then so be it; it wouldn't be a breach of my promise. I originally thought her departure wouldn't affect me much, but I found myself constantly agitated at home, and feeling an emptiness.
My children were there, and they were very well-behaved, behaving just like Ah Yuan used to, only daring to secretly watch me. By some twist of fate, I secretly went to watch her too.
I saw her laughing and talking joyfully with the pale scholar next door, joking with the assistants she hired, and drinking with the beautiful zither player... She was so vibrant, like a completely different person.
My children missed their mother, so I tirelessly accompanied them to see Ah Yuan; they never wanted to leave. I didn't want to either. But then, one day, Ah Yuan told me she had fallen for the pale scholar next door and wanted to marry him.
She had no living relatives, so she hoped I, as her elder brother, would escort her to her wedding. She even asked, “Brother, are you happy for me?”
Happy? Of course, I'm happy. To watch her marry someone else would be worse than dying right now. Of course, I'm happy.
CompletedJi Changying, a walking plant encyclopedia, was targeted by a research base for her outstanding abilities. It took two years and ten masters to finally capture her, but she retaliated by blowing up the base. However, an accident occurred, and she died in the process.
When Ji Changying opened her eyes again, she had become the little fool of the Ji family in Lotus Village. Her parents were loving, and her family was harmonious, but before she could enjoy a single day of peace, the entire Ji clan was exiled by the emperor for the crime of "great disrespect." Fortunately, her spatial ability also followed her. Confiscate her home? "I'll let you confiscate nothing but air!"
After their home was searched, the entire clan was temporarily detained in the county yamen's jail, awaiting exile with the main group. Ji Changying pondered for a moment, "Since I'm idle anyway, I might as well move the county yamen!"
Her mother, strong as an ox, secretly dug up their ancestral graves when no one was looking, carrying the bones of their ancestors on the road. She proudly patted her chest, declaring, "A family should always be complete!"
Ji Changying's mouth formed an O shape as she watched herself easily break open the prison bars with a slight effort. "Does my family's genetic strength appear randomly based on gender?"
Finally, a certain someone, watching her engrossed in studying plants, lost patience. With sinister eyes, he pulled out an iron chain and asked, "A'Ying, tell me, is it better if I tie you to me so we're never apart, or if I lock you up so you only see me?" Ji Changying effortlessly snapped the chain, picked at her ear, and looked at the handsome, jade-like face opposite her, "I didn't hear you clearly, what did you say?"
CompletedIn the third year of their marriage, Yue Li put an end to their distant and formal husband-and-wife relationship, proposing a divorce.
The bullet screen flashed: "If the villainous supporting female character dares to put her fingerprint on the divorce papers, the Regent, who has secretly loved her for seven years, will dare to knock her out and keep her captive in a \"golden house\" for forced love!" Another comment read: "Supporting female character, the 'Overthinking Emperor' is once again imagining you chasing after other men to cuckold the male lead. He's already prepared the golden house for your occupancy!" Yue Li, who felt she was ill but saw the bullet screen comments, "..." Could it be that the outwardly pure and abstinent, yet ruthless, Xie Lixing was the one she had secretly admired for years? Yue Li didn't believe it, but she did believe in Xie Lixing's methods. She dared to propose divorce, but she didn't dare to cuckold Xie Lixing; her head depended on it! Especially after the bullet screen revealed she was a villainous supporting character destined for a bad end in a story, Yue Li hugged Xie Lixing's thigh, proclaiming, "My husband is the best in the world!" Oh no! The golden house actually exists! Inside were all her clothes, her personal belongings... Was he a pervert?!
*Xie Lixing believed he was incapable of loving. Until he met Yue Li, she gave him a heart, a soft spot within him. He thought their days would continue like this, but unexpectedly, one day, three years after their marriage, she proposed a divorce! He could tolerate her desire to leave, but he could not tolerate her leaving for another man! Since he couldn't have her heart, then... having her person wasn't entirely out of the question!

Yet Jiang Yuan went out of her way to seduce him. She was born with a natural charm, but a beast of revenge resided in her heart.
Though he verbally called her impure, he overturned the entire North City for her, helping her send her enemies to hell.
When she tried to slip away, he pulled her back with one hand, his voice low and hoarse, laced with anger, "You flirted with me and then ran? Jiang Yuan, how dare you?"

"Mr. Rong, do you have any major plans for your company or personal life in the future?"
The man raised an eyebrow thoughtfully and replied, "A small goal first—let's have a baby."
