Chapter 2 She needs a sanctuary, not a husband
In her previous life, her mother had arranged a good match for her, and she had happily married into the Qin Family, only to find out that on the surface they were polished like golden eggs, but inside just as hollow as donkey dung.
Mr. Qin had poor health and spent years on medication, spending god knows how much on medical expenses.
The Qin Family was under the control of Mrs. Qin and the Eldest Son of Qin Family, Qin Han; Qin Yang's salary never reached her hands.
Qin Han had a lot of influence; sometimes, even Mrs. Qin would listen to him.
Her husband, Qin Yang, was an emotionless work machine, aloof and inconsiderate. They did not consummate their marriage on their wedding night, and he returned to work the next day.
He could barely make it home twice a year, and during their many years of marriage, she never saw him smile. Each encounter was just another glimpse of his coffin-like face.
Being constantly at odds with her sister-in-law, she felt ignored and endured endless humiliations in that house.
What kind of marriage was this? She was practically living like a widow, and marrying into the Qin Family was like becoming a servant to them.
Six months later, to make matters worse, they brought back a son of some colleague; she was still a virgin, yet she was expected to be a stepmother to another's child, and Qin Yang even favored that child over their own.
That child was ungrateful, causing Qin Yang to divorce her, destroying her reputation.
Li Guangyuan, whom her family looked down on, turned out to be visionary; shortly after they married, he started doing business and it grew bigger and bigger.
