Summary

Through a marriage contract, I married Shen Mochen, the man I had secretly loved for ten years.

I thought he had always been a cold, unfeeling person, never imagining that he too had once given his heart to someone—only that deep affection was never for me.

My heart turned to ash, and at last I handed him the divorce agreement: "Let's divorce."

He looked at me, his eyes darkening: "Since you have doubts about our marriage, I don't mind consolidating it."

......

"Shen Mochen, there is no longer any connection between us!"

"Then I'll create one."

Editor's review

As the fourth volume of the *Chong Qi* series, this book continues the emotional throughline of love turning into marriage and the entanglement of a marriage contract, pushing the psychological gap between "ten years of secret love" and "post-marriage coldness" to the forefront. The core tension comes from the heroine's act of handing over the divorce agreement—both an outburst of long-suppressed feeling and the starting point for reshuffling their relationship. The hero's response, "Since you have doubts, I don't mind consolidating it," along with his clinging stance of "Then I'll create one," forms a typical marriage-first-love-later/chasing-the-wife narrative rhythm, with dense emotional ups and downs and fast-moving conflict. Positioned as Volume 4, it lets readers feel that the relationship has entered the turning point from cold to warm, making it suitable for serial readers to read continuously in fragmented time. If you prefer strong emotions, fast pacing, and dialogue-driven romance, this volume offers a concentrated emotional release; but if you expect a complete standalone storyline, it's best to start from earlier volumes to avoid gaps in character history and relationship setup.

Who it's for

A good fit for

Romance readers who enjoy secret-crush marriage and marriage-first-love-later setups
Existing readers of the *Chong Qi* series who want to fill in the relationship turning point in Volume 4
Readers who prefer strong emotional conflict and fast-paced dialogue-driven plots
Readers who need easy, continuous reading on commutes or before bed

Not a good fit for

Readers who want a fully standalone book that makes complete sense without earlier volumes
Readers fatigued by marriage entanglement and chase-the-wife tropes
Readers who prefer slow-burn realism with muted dramatic conflict

Reading tips

Review the marriage-contract background and character relationships from earlier volumes before entering this volume's divorce conflict for smoother understanding.
Use the two dialogue moments—"handing over the divorce agreement" and "creating a connection"—as emotional nodes and watch for foreshadowing of the hero's change in attitude.
If time is limited, read in paired chapters, finishing one conflict-and-response set at a time to keep the emotional thread coherent.
After finishing, look back at the buildup of the heroine's ten years of secret love to better understand why she chooses to let go at this moment.

FAQ

Can I read Volume 4 directly without having read the earlier volumes?

You can read it, but this volume builds on the marriage-contract relationship and character history from earlier books; starting directly with Volume 4 may leave you without a felt sense of the accumulated "ten years of secret love" and "post-marriage coldness." It's best to at least know the main relationship lines from the first three volumes, or read this volume's opening conflict before deciding whether to catch up on earlier material.

Is this volume's romance more angsty or sweeter?

From the given material, this volume hits its emotional low point when the heroine, her heart turned to ash, hands over the divorce agreement; the hero then responds by "consolidating the marriage" and "creating a connection." Overall it is a turning point that suppresses first and lifts later. There is more conflict and push-pull, with the sweetness showing mainly in the entanglement and responses after the hero's change in attitude.

Do the hero and heroine's relationship undergo a substantive change in this volume?

Yes. The heroine takes the initiative to propose divorce, showing she will no longer passively endure a one-sided marriage; the hero responds with "I don't mind consolidating it" and "Then I'll create one," showing he is unwilling to let go. Their relationship moves from cold treatment into direct push-pull, making this a key turning-point volume in the series.
