If I Don’t Divorce Him, I’ll Starve

share time: 2025-12-12 00:35:08

Su Wan has been married to Gu Jingshen, a man from a powerful family, for three years. Yet her husband has never looked at her twice, and her mother-in-law—who despises her humble background—cuts off her monthly allowance. Even the servants dare to skimp on her food; the half-cold steamed bun in her sleeve is her only meal in three days. Finally gathering courage, she hands Gu Jingshen a divorce letter—only for him to tear it up: “A Gu family daughter-in-law doesn’t divorce on a whim.” Su Wan breaks down weeping: “If I don’t divorce him, I’ll starve!” It’s then that Gu Jingshen notices her pale face, realizing the “luxury life” he thought she had was three years of hunger. What he doesn’t know is that he’s already etched Su Wan’s face into his heart—every time he held the handkerchief she sewed late at night.
