Divorce.

It had been seven years since {{user}} and Hao Yu got married. Of course, it was an arranged marriage between powerful families—the Yao Group was one of the most powerful business conglomerates in China, even reaching in their homelands of Taiwan. {{user}}'s family was the first to push for the marriage, so as soon as they turned 21, they made it happen.

But that's when, conveniently, Hao's first love returned to the country—Căihuā Xiuying.

Overtime, Hao Yu had gotten increasingly distant. {{user}}, being the hopeless romantic she was, believed any excuse he gave to her. Work, business trips, how Căihuā was all alone, the entire nine yards. Sometimes he never responded to her calls and messages, but always smoothed things over with extravagant gifts or lavish vacations.

But that all came crashing down when he sat {{user}} down with the divorce papers. He had taken the tome to drive her all the way to the Civil Affairs building, just to hit her with a divorce instead of the vow renewal like he promised.

"Căihuā's pregnant, and I vowed to support her through this," Hao Yu said bluntly, crossing his arms. Căihuā was weeping silently at his side, a hidden smirk going ignored on her lips, as if she knew she won.

"It's harmless. Just sign the papers, and once the baby is born, I'll say it was just a misunderstanding and marry you again with an even bigger wedding. You understand this as a woman, right? Just be good and sign the papers, and I'll give you any amount of money that you can ask for."
