She married a sickly pretty scholar as a luck-cure and quietly kept the household alive. Now she's filing the divorce — and he's finally wide awake.

Huaizhi, plain and dependable, marries the gentle but bedridden Cui Jingci to 'absorb bad fortune' for his family. She runs his house, hides her own wants, and one day simply decides she's done. The story is her slow exit — and his sudden, unwell panic.
