Summary

By 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 expecting that he too had once been devoted to someone—only that deep affection was never for me.

My heart turned to ash, and at last I handed over 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

This volume continues the emotional throughline of secret-crush marriage and love after marriage, concentrating the sense of misalignment between the heroine's ten years of one-sided devotion and the object of the hero's past affection. The narrative advances through first-person inner monologue, with high emotional density; the confrontation between the divorce agreement and "creating a connection" forms the main tension point of the volume, suiting readers who like intense emotional push-and-pull and sweetness after angst. The character relationships are not complicated, the core conflict revolves around trust and unwillingness, and the pace is relatively fast, suitable for continuous fragmented-time reading. Note that the work emphasizes emotional conflict and dialogue over laying out realistic marital logic, so it is better read as genre emotional consumption than as a real-life reference. If entering directly at Volume 5, it is advisable to first understand the prior character relationships; otherwise the accumulated sense of some psychological motives will be diminished.

Who it's for

A good fit for

Romance readers who like secret-crush marriage and love-after-marriage themes

Not a good fit for

Readers who prefer realistic marital logic and rigorous social backgrounds

Readers who want a volume to stand alone and do not wish to catch up on prior story

Reading tips

First review the character relationships and key misunderstandings from the previous four volumes, then enter this volume's confrontation plot.
Read the divorce agreement and "creating a connection" scenes in contrast, noting the turning points in the hero's attitude.
Emotional intensity is high; read in segments to avoid immersion fatigue from continuous reading.

FAQ

Can I read Volume 5 directly without having read the first four volumes?

You can read it, but much of this volume's psychological description builds on ten years of secret love and previous-volume misunderstandings, so entering directly may leave the heroine's resolve and the hero's reactions without a sense of buildup. It is advisable to at least understand the origin of the marriage contract and the object of the hero's past affection before reading this volume for a smoother experience.

Is the emotional direction of this volume angsty or sweet?

From the material, this volume centers on the conflict of the heroine handing over the divorce agreement and the hero countering by "creating a connection"; the emotion leans angsty with push-and-pull rather than pure sweet daily life. Readers who like pressure first and release later, and watching relationships reshuffle, will get into it more easily.

Is the hero a cold-type character?

The synopsis presents him as the cold-outside, deep-affection-inside type: the heroine originally thought him cold and unfeeling, but the material notes that he too had once been devoted to someone. The appeal of this volume lies precisely in the misalignment between that deep affection and the heroine's expectations, and in his forceful response when faced with divorce.
