Unhappy Southern Stream

As a top manager, everyone constantly tries to curry favor with Li Xiwu. And due to her identity as Mrs. Pei, the rich and the powerful would always greet her politely. A celebrity instructor, and the wife of a man from a rich family... Is there anyone who would not envy her? However, only Li Xiwu knows that she is a substitute for Mr. Pei's unrequited love, and none of her titles or privileges have anything to do with her.***Losing yourself after being someone else's substitute is a tedious thing. Having gained that epiphany, Li Xiwu began to ponder how she should claim alimony of astronomical proportions from Mr. Pei. However, while she was obsessing over how to get rich from the divorce, her mother-in-law, who had always disliked her, invited her to take part in a variety show, while promising to make her rich. Li Xiwu's lips curled into a grin. "Fortune favors the brave!”At first, her mother-in-law constantly attempted to embarrass her, and netizens were all moaning about how she was the most pitiful rich daughter-in-law! Later, her mother-in-law was inseparable from Li Xiwu, and would keep bragging about her to everyone she met, leaving the netizens cheering: Leave the face-slapping to Mrs. Pei! Li Xiwu did not expect herself to shoot to fame in the variety show either. However, while she was convinced that she could get a smooth divorce afterward, her mother-in-law called her son immediately as soon as the variety show ended.“Divorce my baby, and I will disown you!”Mr. Pei: ??? 

I Refused to Be a Substitute, and Shot to Fame on a Variety Show With My Mother-In-Law

Pei Jingzhou sensed Li Xiwu looking at him. He glanced sideways and met her gaze.

Li Xiwu looked straight at him without avoiding eye contact. "It's emotional and melancholy to think about our past."

Pei Jingzhou asked her, "Emotional?"

Li Xiwu crossed her arms and rested her chin on one hand. "I'm emotional about the years we've been married."

Pei Jingzhou wanted to laugh. "Where's the melancholy?"

Li Xiwu adjusted her expression. "Melancholy… Fourth Brother came too late today. Does that count?"

Li Xiwu's lips curved. She thought that the topic would end here, but Pei Jingzhou added solemnly, "I shouldn't have put work first, so I'm late today. Next time, I'll definitely be the earliest."

Li Xiwu inhaled and looked up at him. Was this person trying to optimize his image of being late today?

[I can tell. Li Xiwu's husband has the symptoms of Henpecked.]
