If Wei Zifu loved you, then her story could only have ended the way mine did.

People often said that the limits of love lay in one’s ability to endure – to endure the fact that the man we loved would have three wives and four concubines.

Wei Zifu managed to tolerate. So, she accompanied you by your side for thirty-eight years.

She could accomplish this because she did not love you.

All along, what she wanted was never love.

If, from the beginning, all I wanted was only the precious throne belonging to an Empress, perhaps I would not have lost you as quickly as I had.

Note: This oneshot narrates the true story between Emperor Han Wudi (Liu Che) and his first wife, the deposed Empress Chen Jiao. Their story has been encapsulated into a famous chinese idiom called “金屋藏娇” (jīn wū cáng jiāo), which literally means ‘putting (Chen) Jiao into a golden house’. <<less

Guan Ling was now 30 years old.... more>>

Six years after his debut, he won an award for his performance and made a lot of money. He was also married to someone for these past seven years. According to reason, he should be the object of envy for everyone.

It was a pity…...

The award-winning work was a horror movie and the male lead character he played was a bloodstained one-eyed zombie. Therefore, even if he swaggered around the streets, there was still no one who would recognize him.

Since he had been introduced to the entertainment industry by a famous director, his salary was fairly high. If the money he had earned in those six years were to accumulate, it would make a total of eight-figures. Unfortunately, there was no opportunity for the money to accumulate. It would disappear into thin air almost as soon as it entered his bank account. It was all given away to his lover as funds to pour into that bottomless hole-like company.

As for the lover to whom he had been married for seven years…… Guan Ling glanced up and expressionlessly read the small line of words on the computer screen——

“The difference between the passionate love period and the indifferent period is that when you touched his hair, his XX would stand up but now you touch his XX, and his hair stands up.”

Oh, man! Guan Ling pressed the power button right away and the text in front of him disappeared instantly. He sighed in relief and silently threw himself onto the empty bed. <<less

What’s the point of getting married? Anyway, we’re going to divorce.... more>>

Divorcing anyway Omega (Mei Yisi) x absolutely not divorcing Alpha (Gu Shi)

Translator:

Mei Yisi is an unsociable omega who feels that everything and everyone is “uninteresting.” He goes on a blind date as a result of his parents’ pestering. He meets Gu Shi and marries him.

Why is Mei Yisi indifferent about who he marries? Why does he think he will get divorced sooner or later? Will Mei Yisi find this marriage “interesting” enough?

Note: This is essentially a long oneshot with two extras.

Play on words: The story title is “méi yì si de gù shi” with méi yì si meaning boring; uninteresting. The MC’s name is Mei Yisi, and Yisi means “he thinks.” The name adds a layer of irony/playfulness to the story, given that Mei Yisi is nonchalant about marriage and keeps thinking “we’re going to divorce, anyway.”

没意思(mei yi si, boring) and 梅伊思(Mei Yisi, the MC) sound similar. The author has used word play throughout the story. <<less
