After five years of marriage, Zhao Xinran believed she had a happy marriage, thriving in both love and career.
But the day after their wedding anniversary, Pei Hongwen suddenly filed for divorce.
His cheeks were flushed crimson, his body still bearing the mottled marks from the night before, and he screamed, his dignity in tatters: “Zhao Xinran, you don’t love me at all! I’ve had enough of your domineering ways, enough of being pinned down by you, enough of this life where I’m summoned at your whim and dismissed just as easily. I want a divorce.”
Don’t love him? Had enough?
Faced with Pei Hongwen’s accusations and tears, Zhao Xinran felt nothing but annoyance and irritation.
If he wanted a divorce, then so be it.

While swimming one day, Zhao Xinran ran into a student she’d tutored part-time when she was younger.
She’d quit her job back then precisely because of his sudden confession.
Now, standing before her was the twenty-two-year-old Si Maoyan.
He’d just returned to the country; after several years apart, his physique had become even more muscular, and his originally delicate features had grown even more handsome.
The look in his eyes as he gazed at her was even more direct and intense.
Zhao Xinran felt a bit dazed.
“Teacher, you’re a great swimmer. Can you teach me?”
“No way!”
Zhao Xinran knew exactly what he meant, but she’d just gotten divorced and didn’t want to…
“I’ll pay you 2k per lesson.”
…But then again, while she wasn’t short on money, she couldn’t resist someone who was both naive and loaded.
As the lesson went on, Si Maoyan climbed into her bed.
He was well-behaved and obedient, pampering Zhao Xinran until she felt completely at ease.
He reminded her so much of Pei Hongwen in the beginning—young and handsome, his eyes brimming with love as he looked at her.
Zhao Xinran thought to herself, since she was already divorced, finding someone new wouldn’t be so bad.

Less than a month after the divorce, Pei Hongwen regretted it!
He knelt at Zhao Xinran’s feet, weeping, his hands trembling as he unbuttoned his shirt to reveal the collar she loved most, begging for her mercy.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
“Teacher, are you home? It’s me, Maoyan.”
