Lin Qiao has transmigrated into a retro novel that she only heard about from her friend, not even remembering the name of the male lead.
As a cannon fodder female supporting character in the book, her marriage to the male lead was never one of equals. He married her simply to return to a local business, trading marital freedom for career freedom. Once the male lead became successful, she managed to make herself so detestable through her own actions that a divorce agreement brought their marriage to a bleak end.
Lin Qiao thought, this is just... perfect!
With food and drink provided and no marital duties to fulfill, plus a large alimony to look forward to, why not marry him? Was she supposed to wait to be sold off by her uncle and aunt?
On the official相亲 day, a tall and handsome man in uniform sat upright, his expression cold and serious, handling the matter as if he was in a meeting room rather than on a相亲 date.
But then he handed over his pay card and bankbook.
Lin Qiao accepted them with relief, waiting for her husband to bring up the divorce.
In the first year of marriage, she rubbed her sore waist, feeling that something was wrong;
In the second year of marriage, she looked at the additional bars and stars on his shoulders, feeling even more off about the situation...
Until one day, when the male lead's nephew got drunk at her house and cried, regretting pushing this arranged marriage onto him.
The man was peeling shrimp for her with his head lowered, and with just one glance, the nephew instantly sobered up, his face turning pale.
Lin Qiao then realized, she hadn't married the male lead at all, but the male lead's cold-faced uncle!
No wonder she was already pregnant, and he still hadn't mentioned divorce!!
