Did Scumbag A Get Divorced Today? - Chapter 55

Just as Sui Yu finished dealing with the person who had tried to harm her, on the other side, Shen Jueshu was resting in the first-class cabin of her flight, eyes closed in a light meditation. But in the next instant, her heart suddenly began to race uncontrollably. A sharp wave of unease surged up inside her, forcing her to open her eyes, her face turning grim.

She took out her phone and checked the time. At this hour, Sui Yu should be driving home. Nothing should go wrong… especially with all those bodyguards by her side.

Even so, the gnawing anxiety in her chest didn’t ease. Shen Jueshu looked around the cabin. Everything was quiet—nothing seemed out of place.

Was she just overthinking things?

She frowned slightly, still uneasy. Unable to relax, she gave up on resting and pulled out her laptop to handle some work.

But as time passed, the unsettling feeling around her only grew stronger. As her fingers glided across the touchpad, her expression suddenly turned cold. Without warning, she swung her elbow hard to the right—directly into something warm and soft. She had definitely struck a human body.

Her lips pressed into a thin line. She immediately looked toward where she had landed the blow—but the seat beside her was completely empty.

Her gaze darkened. A chilling thought flashed through her mind. Could it be… one of the travelers?

Her hand, resting on the armrest, clenched tightly into a fist. She had suspected that the travelers might take action—but she didn’t expect them to be bold enough to strike on a plane.

After that hit, everything fell silent again. It was as if nothing had happened. But Shen Jueshu was certain she hadn’t imagined it. She was extremely perceptive—she had clearly sensed someone breathing next to her, and even caught a faint, strange scent.

It wasn’t exactly foul, but it definitely wasn’t pleasant either.

Maybe her reaction had warned the intruder that she wasn’t an easy target. The rest of the flight passed without further incident. But instead of feeling relieved, Shen Jueshu became even more concerned. If they had targeted her—what about Sui Yu?

Remembering the attacker’s ability to turn invisible, her expression turned even colder. Just that one skill alone was enough to render many of their defenses useless.

As soon as she landed, she contacted Sui Yu. After hearing what had happened on her end, Shen Jueshu’s eyes flickered slightly. Could there be different kinds of travelers?

She had managed to strike her assailant on the plane, but Sui Yu said the one she fought had completely vanished—untouchable after disappearing.

“I understand. Be extra careful for the next few days. I’ll wrap things up here as fast as I can and come back soon,” Shen Jueshu told her.

Hearing that she’d be returning quickly, Sui Yu lit up with joy. She happily promised to be careful, then dove straight into her lab. Since Shen Jueshu wouldn’t be around for a while, she decided to pour all her energy into her experiments.

Meanwhile, Shen Jueshu was picked up by her company’s local team and immediately thrown into a whirlwind of work. To speed up the project, she offered several times the usual overtime pay to get things done quickly. From the moment she arrived in the afternoon, she worked nonstop until late at night before finally catching a break.

Back at the hotel, she was on high alert. After what had happened on the plane, she thoroughly checked the room before letting her bodyguards go—leaving only a female beta in the room next door as backup.

Shen Jueshu massaged her sore shoulders, then pulled out her phone to check Sui Yu’s messages. Seeing a string of voice recordings, she couldn’t help but smile.

“Wifey~ darling~ are you done with work yet~?” The voice was soft and sweet, enough to make anyone’s skin crawl from how sugary it was.

Keeping a straight face, Shen Jueshu played the next one.

“Wifey, were you super busy today? You didn’t even reply to me.”

“Darling, no matter how busy you are, you still have to rest properly. Don’t skip meals, and take care of yourself. I’m okay if you come back a few days later, as long as you’re healthy.”

“Darling, your baby really misses you~”

“Wifey~ your baby’s already lying in bed. Without you here, it’s impossible to sleep…”

She even sent an emoji of a little penguin crying in a corner.

Seeing that emoji, Shen Jueshu finally couldn’t hold it in anymore. Her icy expression cracked into a smile. It hasn’t even been that long, she thought. And she’s already saying things this cheesy?

She replied with a text:
“If you can’t sleep, get up and work out.”

Almost instantly, Sui Yu sent back another voice message. Shen Jueshu played it.

“How could you be so heartless? I miss you so much it hurts, and you want me to get up in the middle of the night and exercise?!”

The tone was full of dramatic outrage and mock accusation.

Shen Jueshu sighed with helpless amusement. This girl… wasn’t she the one who used to cringe at cheesy talk? Now she’s the queen of it.

She replied with her own voice message this time:
“Alright, get some rest. I’m fine—just working late. I’ll take a shower and go to bed soon too. You should sleep early.”

On the other end, Sui Yu heard her gentle, cool voice and smiled softly. She sent back a simple goodnight.

That night, both of them slept well—with dreams full of each other.

—

The next morning, as Shen Jueshu dove back into her busy schedule, Sui Yu drove to her family’s old estate. She smiled at Uncle Li and said, “Uncle Li, I’m sorry. I really was wrong to accuse you of being an old fogey last time.”

The moment Uncle Li saw her, he knew something was up. When she said that, his normally kind expression cracked, and he glared at her.

This time, Sui Yu smiled extra sweetly—the kind of obedient smile elders loved. She didn’t press the issue further. After all, if Uncle Li had to speak so vaguely before, then it clearly wasn’t something they could talk about openly. And she wasn’t here today for that anyway.

“Uncle Li, since you all claim to be managers, then you can’t just let the disruptors run wild, right?”

She then told Uncle Li everything that had happened the day before. If they were truly in charge of maintaining order, how could they just sit back and do nothing? The travelers were becoming reckless and dangerous. Someone had to stop them.

After she finished, Uncle Li let out a long sigh. “The Travelers’ Association wasn’t always like this.”

There was deep regret in his voice—anyone who had known the association’s past would feel the same. What a shame it had become what it is today.

“Huh? What were they like before?” Sui Yu asked, intrigued. The current version of the travelers was ruthless and cold. Could they really have been some kind of charitable organization before?

Uncle Li’s expression turned nostalgic. “When the Travelers’ Association was first formed, it was created to help characters in stories escape tragic fates.”

“When an author writes a book, they assign destinies to every character. Some of those destinies are too painful. The travelers originally aimed to rewrite those outcomes—to let characters experience joy instead of only suffering. That was their mission in the beginning. But everything changed after the current leader took over. The association’s purpose was twisted.”

“Now, they do as they please—altering worlds at will. Sometimes, they even increase the suffering. Every world they touch ends up in chaos.”

If the original travelers had worked to change fates for the better, the modern association did the opposite—destroying worlds for personal gain or amusement.

Sui Yu’s eyes widened. “And you haven’t done anything to stop them?!”

She was furious. How could those who claimed to be guardians stand by while the disruptors ran rampant?

“Of course we’ve tried!” Uncle Li raised his voice slightly, then sighed. “But there are things even we can’t control.”

Sui Yu’s expression shifted subtly. After a moment of silence, she asked, “Be honest with me—are the so-called managers just sitting around doing nothing?”

If they really held the title of “managers,” then they must have the power to restrain the Travelers. And if they had that power but chose not to act, what else could it be but neglect?

Uncle Li said nothing.

Seeing the look on his face, Sui Yu understood. So it was true—the managers were shirking their responsibilities.

She shook her head. “If you’re not willing to do it, why not hand things over to someone who actually wants to make a difference?”

Why occupy the seat and refuse to do the job?

Uncle Li’s face tightened with a bitter expression. He shook his head but didn’t respond.

“So you’re telling me, right now, there’s nothing you can do about the Travelers’ Association?” Sui Yu asked bluntly.

Uncle Li looked up at the ceiling. “We’re urgently drafting measures to rein in the Association. If they continue acting recklessly, we’ll take action.”

“What kind of action?”

“A fine.”

“…How much?”

“Up to 500,000 yuan.”

“……”

Sui Yu stood up, smiling. “Goodbye, Uncle Li.”

Uncle Li: “……”

Back in her car, Sui Yu was still stunned. This so-called ‘managerial system’… why does it feel exactly like the bureaucratic nonsense back in the real world?

Her expression was complicated. It was becoming clearer now that the world’s current problems were deeply connected to the inaction of its managers.

She drove to her company and received a report from one of her bodyguards. The DNA of the man who had attacked her yesterday had been analyzed. Cross-checking with the national database revealed his name: Wang Zhi, 28 years old, from Linhai City—a programmer by profession.

The bodyguards had also compiled his full history and handed it over. Sui Yu read through the file thoroughly. Nothing seemed unusual until about a month ago, when Wang Zhi abruptly quit his job, cut ties with his family, and disappeared. His family had even filed a police report, but no leads turned up.

Staring at the photo in the file, Sui Yu’s gaze darkened. Truthfully, she hadn’t clearly seen the attacker’s face that day. The situation had been too tense—her priority was to escape, and with the man’s head constantly moving, it was impossible to get a good look.

The man in the photo looked completely ordinary—one of those faces you’d forget in a crowd. But something about him triggered a gut reaction. She instinctively linked him to the one who had previously tried to shoot Shen Jueshu.

Could they be the same person?

“Can you trace his movements over the past month?” Sui Yu asked, turning to her bodyguard.

The bodyguard tensed. Standing before him was a slender woman, far smaller than him, yet the moment she looked at him, he felt like he couldn’t move a muscle.

“We’ll do our best,” he replied quietly.

“Alright,” Sui Yu said with a nod. She wasn’t dissatisfied—she understood how difficult that request was.

Later at lunchtime, she called Shen Jueshu. This time, she picked up—meaning she wasn’t too busy.

The moment Sui Yu saw Shen Jueshu’s face on the screen, she smiled. Just seeing her made her heart feel full. Sweetly, she greeted, “Wifey~”

“Mhm.” Shen Jueshu responded calmly, unfazed by the glances from people around her.

“You’re eating, right?” Sui Yu asked, concerned. She always worried about Shen Jueshu’s health and was afraid she’d overwork herself.

“Yes, I’m eating,” Shen Jueshu replied, flipping her camera to show the meal in front of her. As the camera panned, Sui Yu caught a glimpse of others at the table.

Her smile stiffened slightly. She cleared her throat and said in a composed tone, “You’re having lunch with… other people?”

Seeing her wife’s barely concealed jealousy, Shen Jueshu couldn’t help the slight curve of her lips. She’d realized something: this woman was all bark and no bite. Behind closed doors, she could say the cheesiest things imaginable. But in front of others? Suddenly she got shy and proper.

“Yes,” Shen Jueshu answered with a nod. Then she asked, “Have you eaten yet?”

“Ahem—I’ve already eaten. Since you’re eating, I’ll hang up now. I’ll wait for you to come home.” She quickly ended the call, then touched her warm cheeks. Did anyone hear me call her ‘wifey’ in that sweet, whiny tone?

Ugh—so embarrassing!

Back at Shen Jueshu’s table, someone teased, “President Shen, your relationship with President Sui is really something. Even during lunch you two need to call each other?”

Based on Sui Yu’s tone during the call, who would’ve guessed she’s supposedly a cool and aloof Alpha? She sounded like a complete wife-slave!

“Yeah, I’m surprised you two are still so sweet even after all this time. Unlike some of us… sigh.” Another person chimed in with an exaggerated sigh.

Shen Jueshu responded with a faint “mm” and didn’t say much, but she secretly enjoyed the praise.

After lunch, she gave her team a break until 1 p.m. and took the opportunity to visit the nearby shopping mall to pick up some gifts for Sui Yu.

Thinking back, she realized she had never really given Sui Yu a proper present. Considering how rough Sui Yu’s lifestyle could be, maybe some skincare products would be thoughtful?

As she browsed, she passed by the perfume section and considered it—then dismissed the idea. She already liked the natural scent of geranium on Sui Yu’s body. No need to change that.

While browsing, she noticed a woman watching her from nearby. Their eyes met. The woman gave her a soft, radiant smile.

She was about 168 cm tall, slim, with delicate features. She looked like an Omega. The woman walked toward her, and as she got closer, Shen Jueshu caught the faint trace of her scent—and suddenly realized: This woman is actually an Alpha.

Despite staying composed on the surface, Shen Jueshu felt a subtle ripple of alertness inside.

“Hello, I’m Qi Siyu. May I know your name?” the woman asked with a voice as soft and sweet as spring rain—like sugar dusting gently over one’s hair.

Shen Jueshu’s reply was cool and distant: “Hello. I have something urgent to take care of. Excuse me.”

She turned and left without hesitation.

Moments later, hurried footsteps followed her. Qi Siyu caught up, her tone troubled. “Did I say something wrong? I just wanted to get to know you… maybe become friends?”

Shen Jueshu’s stride didn’t falter. “You didn’t do anything wrong. I just have something I need to get back to.”

“Then… can we exchange contact info? Maybe grab a meal sometime?” Qi Siyu continued, persistent as ever, walking alongside her.

Just as Shen Jueshu was about to respond, her steps suddenly halted. Her gaze landed on a wristwatch displayed in a boutique window nearby. She changed direction and walked in.

Lowering her eyes to study the watch, she noticed its round face adorned with delicate diamonds at four points. Under the shop lights, the gems glimmered faintly with a gentle sheen. The design was elegant and refined, but with a touch of handsome sophistication. It immediately reminded her of Sui Yu—this piece would suit her perfectly.

“You like it?” Qi Siyu spoke up beside her, glancing at the same watch. “It is beautiful, but I don’t think it really matches your style. If you like it, how about I buy it for you?”

Shen Jueshu ignored her completely. Pointing at the watch, she addressed the clerk, “Please wrap this up for me. Use a nice gift bag.”

That person was all about rituals—presentation mattered. A tasteful gift bag wouldn’t hurt.

“Oh? Are you giving it to someone?” Qi Siyu straightened slightly, clearly intrigued by the gift packaging.

Shen Jueshu paid without hesitation and accepted the wrapped box from the clerk. Turning to Qi Siyu, she said flatly, “Of course. It’s a gift for my Alpha.”

Qi Siyu fell silent at that. She watched Shen Jueshu walk away, then eventually chased after her. “Even if you already have an Alpha, can’t we at least be friends?”

Shen Jueshu’s expression didn’t change, but her voice dropped a few degrees colder. “Miss Qi, I’m very busy right now.”

The message was clear: Stop being a buzzing fly.

Qi Siyu froze. The cold tone triggered some kind of instinctive memory—she immediately felt nervous and stopped following.

Shen Jueshu, no longer being trailed, widened her stride and exited the mall, heading straight for her car. Her next meeting was starting soon.

Back in the car, she thought about that strange woman. Her brows furrowed slightly. Despite the woman’s innocent appearance, Shen Jueshu had felt an unexplainable sense of unease from the moment they met. It wasn’t outright dislike, but there was something… off.

“President Shen, do you want us to run a background check on that woman?” her driver and bodyguard asked from the front seat.

Shen Jueshu considered it but eventually shook her head. “No. Just a stranger. I probably won’t see her again.”

Looking down at the box on her lap, she smiled faintly, thinking of someone far away in Linhai. She wondered what kind of expression Sui Yu would have when receiving the watch.

She really missed her.

She wanted to go home—to return to her side as soon as possible.

Back in Linhai, Sui Yu was living her typical back-and-forth work routine. But on the fourth day of Shen Jueshu’s business trip, that routine was suddenly broken by a phone call from Shen’s father.

Sui Yu: “…”

He had asked her to come over for dinner.

After hanging up, her expression collapsed instantly. She had to go to the Shen house alone? Without Jueshu?!

She suddenly felt like a helpless little kid who couldn’t function without her guardian. Her heart was in a mess. They knew Jueshu was out of town—why would they still call her over for dinner?!

She couldn’t eat like this!

But no matter how reluctant she was, that afternoon, she still cleaned up, changed into fresh clothes, and drove to the Shen family home. When she saw Jiang Siyue’s car parked in the driveway, she let out a quiet sigh of relief. At least she wouldn’t be facing the Shen parents alone.

Inside, the atmosphere was warm and cheerful. Shen’s mother and Jiang Siyue were laughing at something on a phone, while Shen’s father came out of the kitchen with a plate of fruit. The moment Sui Yu walked in, she felt completely out of place—like a guest intruding on a close-knit family moment.

“Dad, Mom.” She greeted them obediently.

“Ah-Yu!” Jiang Siyue’s eyes lit up and she waved her over excitedly. “Come here, come see this—it’s hilarious!”

Sui Yu glanced at Shen’s father’s expression and hesitated, then slowly walked over to Jiang Siyue. When she looked at the video, she saw it was of a very expressive dog acting out scenes with its owner—doing all sorts of comical, human-like behaviors.

Sui Yu: “…” That’s what she meant by hilarious? And Shen’s mom is actually enjoying this?

She stayed quiet.

“Huh? You didn’t think it was funny?” Jiang Siyue asked, genuinely puzzled.

Sui Yu glanced at Shen’s mother and quickly forced a smile. “It’s funny.”

With that one look from Madam Shen, there was no way she’d dare say otherwise.

Sui Yu felt a little wronged. She really didn’t feel like she had a place in this family anymore.

“Alright, come here,” Shen’s father finally called to her.

Sui Yu immediately went over and sat obediently on the sofa to his left, looking every bit the well-behaved daughter-in-law. “Dad, is there something you wanted to talk about?”

Even when Jueshu was around, she felt nervous facing Shen’s parents. Facing them alone? She was barely holding it together.

Shen’s father looked at the overly formal, overly well-behaved Alpha in front of him and found it hard to reconcile her with the aggressive, temperamental person he had met months ago.

His tone was cold. “How’s your relationship with Jueshu these days?”

“Huh?” Sui Yu blinked, confused. Why was he suddenly asking about their relationship? Was he planning to tell her to divorce her?!

The mere thought horrified her.

“What do you mean ‘huh’? It’s a simple question. Is it good or not?” he asked, his face darkening. He still didn’t look pleased with her.

Sui Yu felt wronged but didn’t dare show it. “It’s good,” she said quickly.

And it was true—she genuinely believed Shen Jueshu was her soulmate.

When Sui Yu gave her answer, Shen’s father’s expression finally softened a little. He nodded and said, “If your relationship is going well, then why haven’t you started thinking about having a child? When are you planning to?”

“You’re both still young—it’s the best time for childbirth. Besides, we’re still healthy enough to help. If you had a kid now, you wouldn’t need to worry so much about work either.”

Sui Yu was stunned. Even Jiang Siyue, sitting nearby, looked equally shocked. Neither of them expected that the reason Shen’s father had called Sui Yu over was… to talk about children.

Her hands, resting on her lap, started nervously rubbing against each other. Her voice dropped a bit. “Dad, we’re not in a hurry. Jueshu and I haven’t been married long. We just wanted to enjoy some time as a couple first.”

They were barely out of the honeymoon phase! They hadn’t even fully explored their… physical compatibility—and now they were jumping straight into baby talk?
And this is an ABO world—how is “urging someone to have a baby” still a thing here?!

But Shen’s father clearly wasn’t satisfied with her answer. He frowned. “You’re an Alpha—you can afford to waste time. But can Jueshu afford to wait with you? Or are you saying you’re planning to carry the child yourself?”

Sui Yu froze again. Her mind involuntarily pictured herself with a big pregnant belly. At first, the image felt terrifying, but then she thought about the baby being hers and Shen Jueshu’s—mainly Shen Jueshu’s—and… well…

It suddenly didn’t seem that bad. Not exactly appealing, but not unbearable either.

“I’ll look into how pregnancy works for Alphas,” she said with a serious face.

Shen’s father: “…”

Shen’s mother: “…”

Jiang Siyue: “…”

None of them expected that reaction. Most Alphas would have lost their temper at just the suggestion—especially considering Sui Yu’s past image. But she was sitting here calmly discussing reproductive planning.

Jiang Siyue quietly opened her chat with Shen Jueshu and began live-reporting the entire scene.

Seeing Shen’s father go quiet, Sui Yu started second-guessing herself. Did I say something wrong? She reviewed her words in her head. Nothing seemed offensive. Was it because I didn’t already know how Alpha pregnancies worked?
Was I too slow to catch on?

Truthfully, she didn’t even fully understand how female AOs got pregnant—let alone what it would mean to carry a baby herself!

Sui Yu silently apologized to herself for her lack of knowledge.

“Alright, let’s eat dinner,” Shen’s mother said gently. Her gaze toward Sui Yu had softened considerably. Just the fact that she could say something like that without hesitation put her above most Alphas.

At the very least, it showed one thing—she genuinely cared.

Shen’s father opened his mouth but didn’t say anything in the end.

They all sat down to eat, but Sui Yu—still shaken—barely tasted her food. Her appetite had already taken a hit from Shen’s father’s intensity, and now it was practically gone.

On the other side of the city, Shen Jueshu had just wrapped up a meeting when she received Jiang Siyue’s flood of messages. Scrolling through the play-by-play, she could only rub her temples.

She never expected her father to ambush Sui Yu like this the moment she left town.
She herself had deflected countless subtle and not-so-subtle hints about having a child, dodging them with jokes or distractions.

She was tempted to call her dad right then and there—but if she did, she’d be exposing Jiang Siyue’s snitching. In the end, she decided to let it go for now. She’d handle it once she got home.

After dinner, Sui Yu stayed for a little longer to chat politely before finally being allowed to leave. As she stepped out of the Shen house, Jiang Siyue followed her out. Once the front gate shut behind them, Sui Yu finally felt like she could breathe again.

Jiang Siyue hopped into Sui Yu’s car while her own vehicle followed behind, driven by a bodyguard.

“You came back without warning,” Sui Yu grumbled.

“Stepmom called as soon as I landed,” Jiang Siyue explained, exhaling deeply. “Said you’d be there too, so I figured we’d see each other anyway. No point in texting ahead.”

She glanced sideways. “Though I didn’t expect to walk into that kind of… scene.”

Now that she thought about it, though, it wasn’t all that surprising. Shen Jueshu was their only child—and she came late in their lives. Shen’s parents weren’t getting any younger. They probably just wanted to help while they still could.

Sui Yu sighed heavily. They don’t understand… she and Jueshu have barely even kissed properly! They haven’t even gotten to the serious stuff—and now they’re being asked to bring a baby into the picture?

“Don’t worry,” Jiang Siyue said with a sly grin. “Worst case, you each carry one!”

Sui Yu: “…Do you even hear yourself?!”

One child was already enough to drive a person to exhaustion—and now she was talking about two?!

She remembered all those parenting horror videos she’d seen online—just one toddler could bring down a fully functioning adult. Two? That was just asking for chaos.

Jiang Siyue laughed, biting her lip. “Well, AO pairings have the highest conception rate, don’t they?”

Correction: the highest fertility potential, she thought.

Sui Yu: “…”

She debated whether asking “How do female AOs get pregnant?” would make her sound stupid. In the end, she decided to Google it later.

Then she gave Jiang Siyue a sideways glance. “What about you? What’s going on with you and Li Jiang?”

At the mention of Li Jiang, Jiang Siyue’s expression dimmed slightly. She remembered how, lately, whenever Mo Yu video-chatted with Li Zhi, she’d always be invited to join. And without fail, almost every time she appeared on screen… Li Jiang was there too.

“…It’s still the same,” she said quietly. They’d both been busy—Jiang Siyue with her schedule, Li Jiang with work. If not for Mo Yu and Li Zhi pulling strings, they might not have even seen each other, even through a screen.

Sui Yu sighed. Li Jiang really is a block of wood. She was good at cleaning up online messes for Jiang Siyue, but when it came to real-world action? Nothing. Not even a simple message, probably.

She shook her head. A true candidate for dying alone.

“If,” Sui Yu said suddenly, eyes on the road, “and I mean if… you still have feelings for Li Jiang, maybe try being a bit more proactive. Not like before—no chasing—but just… give her a signal.”

Jiang Siyue: “…”
She could hear the disapproval in Sui Yu’s voice about her former chasing behavior.

“It’s always me putting in effort,” she muttered. Last time, she’d been the one to take initiative—and all she got was rejection. Now again?

“I think you have PTSD from being turned down,” Sui Yu replied bluntly. “But look at Li Jiang. She acts like she’s ready to die alone. If you wait for her to make a move, you’ll probably be 35 before anything happens.”

Jiang Siyue: “…Do you have to call her an idiot?”

“She is one. Come on, even you must think so,” Sui Yu challenged.

Jiang Siyue paused. Honestly… she kinda did.

Sui Yu glanced at her and sighed. “You’re the one in control. Worst case, just… tame her.”

Li Jiang had clearly been affected by a single comment from Jiang Siyue back in high school, and still hadn’t let it go after all these years. That kind of emotional baggage said a lot. Once they were actually together? She’d probably cling to Jiang Siyue like a shadow.

Jiang Siyue actually found that kind of convincing.

Watching her quietly fall into thought, Sui Yu shook her head. Well, I tried. Whether it works or not is up to fate.

The car sped along under the cold wind. Sui Yu let out a soft sigh.

She missed her wife.

It had only been four days since she last held Shen Jueshu while sleeping, but she was already unused to the empty bed.

For over twenty years, she’d slept just fine alone—yet in such a short time, Shen Jueshu had completely changed her habits.

What Sui Yu didn’t know was this:

A conspiracy was quietly taking shape.
And its target—was her.
