Summary

Nan Song played the dutiful wife for three years, yet never managed to make Yu Jinwen fall in love with her—and now he wanted a divorce over some two-faced schemer.

Fine. Fine. A divorce it is. She wasn't going to wait on him anymore.

She erased every trace of herself, vanished from his world without a trace, then made a dazzling turn and became the business partner he'd always dreamed of.

Nan Song looked down her nose at her ex-husband. "You want to work with me? And who might you be?"

Who needs a man? She was going to shine on her own.

Later, as Yu Jinwen chased after his ex-wife, he discovered—the master hacker was her; the top chef was her; the world-renowned doctor was her; the jade-carving master was her; the underground racing legend was her... all her!

As the chase grew longer and longer, Yu Jinwen broke down!

Just how many hidden identities do you have that I don't know about???

Nan Song: Keep a low profile. I'm maxed out at everything. Keep chasing.

Editor's review

Volume 4 is a bridging installment in the Ex-Wife Persona series: after the divorce, Nan Song gradually reveals her multiple identities, and Yu Jinwen's pursuit of his ex-wife begins to visibly falter at this stage. Lu Xiaoice's style favors short chapters and fast pacing; each identity reveal lands like a small emotional explosion, giving readers continuous pleasure in the gap between the ex-husband's shock and the heroine's composure. The volume's value lies in dramatizing the emotional premise of "living as yourself after leaving the wrong person" in a light-comedy mode: hacker, chef, renowned doctor, jade carver, racing legend, and other identities take turns appearing, creating contrast while reinforcing the heroine's independent stance of not needing to lean on marriage. Suitable for casual reading on commutes or before bed—no need for literary depth; treat it as emotional comfort food. Those who care about tight logic or complex characters may find the setups repetitive and the conflicts formulaic.

FAQ

What's the difference between Volume 4 and Volume 5?

Both volumes are part of one continuous story. Volume 4 focuses on Nan Song's multiple identities gradually surfacing and the ex-husband's chase beginning to falter; Volume 5 builds on that, continuing identity reveals and the chase with escalating conflict. The two connect directly—read in order to avoid missing the progression of identity exposure.

Why does the heroine have so many identities?

It's the core setup of a "hidden identities" story: multiple identities create contrast and satisfaction, letting the ex-husband keep discovering "so she can do this too" during his chase, reinforcing the heroine's independent, formidable image. These identities serve the triumph and emotional release, not realistic career portrayal.

Is it suitable for male readers?

The work unfolds from a female perspective, with its core appeal being the heroine's post-divorce triumph and the ex-husband's regret; its audience is mainly female readers. Male readers interested in the "hidden identities" and regretful-chase formulas can enjoy it as a light-comedy urban story, though immersion and emotional resonance may be weaker.
