In a marriage of convenience, Nathan, after a night of drinking, has an affair with Ava, leading to her ectopic pregnancy. 

Before the surgery, Ava calls Nathan, who is preoccupied with his mistress and neglects Ava, even going as far as to accuse her of having an affair and carrying another man's child after the surgery...

As their one-year contractual marriage comes to an end, Nathan realizes his feelings for Ava. 

But Ava is not willing to play along anymore!

Excerpt：

"I am Nathan Ford's girlfriend, loved by him, as everyone knows. And you... you're just a title holder, soon to be thrown out. By then, you'll lose all your dignity... no, you've already lost it. I bet your deceased mother would turn in her grave if she knew what you've become."

Hearing Iris Hart's sharp and biting words, Ava Sterling initially didn't want to stoop to her level. 

However, the mention of her late mother crossed a line.

A crisp slap echoed before Iris Hart could even react, leaving five bright red marks on her face.

"Ah—Ava Sterling—you lowlife, how dare you hit me..." Iris Hart realized she had been slapped and reached out to retaliate, but Ava Sterling was prepared and caught her hand easily.

"Listen, Iris Hart, if I'm the joke, what does that make you? You're also a joke. At least I'm Nathan Ford's wife by law! You! Iris Hart, are nothing but a mistress scorned by everyone. Every wealthy man may stray, but a hotel is just a hotel, and home is home. There can be many dishes, but there's only one bowl of rice."

Ex-husband seeks remarriage？I'm not cooperating!

Although both were living in the same house, Ava and Nathan rarely saw each other, partly because Ava intentionally avoided him. This arrangement was exactly what Ava wanted.

After several peaceful days, Ava was very pleased with the situation, but Zoe began to feel restless.

"Ava, I'm really scared. Can I stay over at your place tonight?" Zoe asked, her face pitiful as she leaned on Ava's arm.

"What's wrong?" Ava looked at Zoe, perplexed. Zoe had been paranoid these past few days, to the point where Ava was starting to worry she might be on the brink of a nervous breakdown.

"I've been binge-watching 'The Ten Sins' lately, and now everyone around me looks like a psychopathic killer. I keep feeling like someone is following me!" Zoe wailed.

"If it scares you so much, why don't you just stop watching?" Ava chuckled, glancing at Zoe clinging to her.
