After waking up one day, Lin Yingyang discovered he had transmigrated into a melodramatic novel.

The moment he opened his eyes, he personally experienced what it meant to live in a freezing, poverty-stricken home with barely anything left standing. Listening to the old house creak and sway in the wind, he fell into deep contemplation.

Being poor wasn’t a problem.

He could always build a fortune with his own two hands.

The real issue was—

How had a lifelong single man like him suddenly gained a wife?

And not just any wife.

His wife was beautiful, gentle, hardworking, and virtuous. The only flaw was that he was mute and physically frail. Everyone in the village mocked Lin Yingyang, wondering what kind of impossible luck a useless scoundrel like him had accumulated to marry someone so wonderful.

If Lin Yingyang hadn’t known he was living inside a novel, he might have believed them too.

Because in the original story, Shen Yinzhi was anything but harmless.

He was a vicious, black-hearted beauty who turned terrifying after descending into darkness. He poisoned the entire village, cuckolded the original host countless times, manipulated his lovers into crippling the original host by cutting his tendons, then had him buried alive.

Afterward, Shen Yinzhi relied on his intelligence and beauty to attach himself to a powerful official and eventually became a nobleman’s wife.

Of course, the original host deserved that ending.

He was human tr*sh—lazy, greedy, and addicted to gambling, drinking, and prostitution. At one point, he even tried to sell Shen Yinzhi to a brothel to repay his debts.

But Lin Yingyang had no intention of ending up buried alive with a metaphorical green hat on his head.

Divorce.

He absolutely had to divorce.
