Shocking! In this matriarchal society, every man wants to marry me!

Zhongtian looked at her feet. They were delicate, small feet, nothing special, even smaller than her feet in modern times.

She hadn't taken any superpower pills, nor had she transmigrated to a cultivation world, so how could she kick that door to pieces with a single kick! Even though the door was already dilapidated.

Is this the kind of power a frail girl could possess?

She felt it was unbelievable, and the people outside felt it was unbelievable too; the noise immediately stopped.

Okay, now it's finally her turn to speak, since no one took her words seriously earlier.

Based on her experience browsing various websites, she must have traveled through time, but unfortunately, she didn't bring her memories with her.

She cleared her throat, covered her head, and began to explain, "I didn't abandon my husband and daughter. I think I've injured my head, and I can't remember anything."

This explanation is clearly unacceptable to people.

The brief silence in the crowd dissipated even louder.

One man's sobbing voice stood out, and even his sobbing was remarkably pleasant to hear.

He was quite handsome, with smooth facial features and eyes like spring water in March, gently swaying into people's hearts. Even wearing tattered clothes could not hide his stunning beauty.

He is like the moon in the sky, unlike any human being.

"Zhongtian, ever since I married you, I've done my laundry and cooking without the slightest slackening, yet you're a compulsive gambler. Not only do you often beat and kick me, but you even wanted to send me to a brothel to pay off your debts! Tell me, are you even a woman?"

Ding Yucheng's eyes were swollen from crying as he looked at Zhong Tian and tearfully accused him.

If it weren't for his father's powerful family, who, after hearing about this, led a group of his older sisters to cause trouble at the Zhong family's residence.

If that bastard Zhongtian were to be sent to a brothel, his reputation would be ruined, and he would have no choice but to hang himself from the rafters to clear his name.

Zhong Tian listened in disbelief, nodded, and extracted three key pieces of information: First, the original owner's name was the same as her modern name, Zhong Tian; second, the man was sold into a brothel, indicating a matriarchal society; and third, the original owner she was inhabiting was a thoroughly despicable person.

"If what you're saying is true, she really is a bastard."

Upon hearing this, Ding Yucheng's sobs subsided considerably.

Through his teary eyes, he looked up at Zhongtian. The girl standing before him was tall and graceful, her eyes no longer tainted by the filth of wine, women, wealth, and power, but filled with ignorance and confusion, quite different from before.

Ignorance? Doesn't she admit what she did? Ding Yucheng's anger rose like a flame, and he pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket and rudely threw it into Zhong Tian's arms.

This is a divorce agreement drafted by the town's scholar. As long as Zhongtian signs it, he will regain his freedom, and they will have no further dealings with each other regarding marriage, funerals, or other matters.

Zhongtian picked up the paper and examined it carefully. The characters were quite different from modern simplified characters, and Zhongtian read them with a mixture of guesswork and deduction.

The opening lines describe how their union was truly outrageous: "How could they have married and been unhappy for so many years? Their relatives and neighbors resented them, and the couple's relationship was like that of 'cats and mice in the same nest' or 'sheep and tigers of one mind'."

Trying to repair their relationship is like trying to hold a handful of dry sand – it will never stick together: "Dry sand can never be put back together."

Finally, it was said: "The two husbands and wives are now separated, with no hope of reunion." "We have asked our parents and relatives to write this letter, wishing them a permanent farewell!"

This divorce letter described their relationship in such a terrible way. Zhongtian looked at Ding Yucheng and realized that this person and the original owner of the body were actually a pair of resentful lovers. It would be good if they separated sooner rather than later.

Ding Yucheng felt flustered as Zhong Tian scrutinized him, his fingernails digging deep into his flesh. Zhong Tian's long-term oppression and verbal abuse had left a deep psychological scar on Ding Yucheng.

He feared Nakata's wrath, because it was rare for a wife's family to divorce her husband, as divorce not only caused the woman to lose face, but also required her to return the man's dowry.

He brought his elder sister from his maternal family along, also to put pressure on Zhong Tian. Zhong Tian glanced at Ding Yucheng, whose eyes betrayed his panic.

This was a reaction caused by long-term domestic violence. Zhong Tian felt utterly disgusted. The original owner of this body was a domestic abuser! A rotten person!

"Okay, bring me paper and pen!"

The original owner may not know if she can write, but Zhongtian was still able to write her name. There was only one stone bench outside, which made writing very inconvenient.

"Ding Yucheng, may I come inside?"

Hearing that name from Zhong Tian's mouth made Ding Yucheng's heart tremble. That man always called him a scoundrel with contempt, showing absolutely no respect.

He nodded. "Okay."

The house was really dilapidated; there was nothing in the room, and the family was destitute. Even the only table and chair was broken.

Ding Yucheng stood coldly in front of Zhong Tian and handed him the paper: "Sign it!"

Ding Yucheng's clothes didn't fit properly, and when he stretched out his hand, it revealed bruised skin, old wounds caused by long-term beatings.

When Ding Yucheng saw Zhong Tian's gaze, his expression darkened, and he immediately tugged at his clothes.

Nakata painstakingly signed his name on the table with a broken leg.

Ding Yucheng watched as Zhong Tian signed the divorce papers, his heart pounding with emotion. He wanted to burst into tears, but his male pride prevented him from breaking into tears; his eyes only reddened slightly. From that moment on, he was free.

Nakata blew on the ink that hadn't dried yet and casually said, "You should see a doctor about your injury! Your family will be worried."

Why pretend to be a good person now?

Ding Yucheng seemed to realize something, and his face suddenly turned pale. What did she mean by that? This scoundrel was definitely not acting out of kindness; it was a blatant threat.

This divorce hurt her pride, and she was always resentful, hinting that he would take revenge on his family.

In a matriarchal society, it is impolite for a man to look directly at a woman, even if they are husband and wife. However, Ding Yucheng still mustered up the courage to look at Zhong Tian.

"You...you shouldn't hurt my family. It was my fault. Hit me if you want."

After saying that, Ding Yucheng closed his eyes, trembling all over. He clutched the divorce papers as if they were a lifeline. He just wanted to endure this one more time, so that Zhongtian would calm down and stop finding fault with him and his family.

Even with these thoughts in his mind, Ding Yucheng trembled with fear.

Nakata looked at him and sighed inwardly.

In modern society, how many women are like the men in front of us, enduring beatings and insults without daring to fight back, even if they are terrified? Does closing their eyes eliminate the harm?

"You did a great job. Leaving behind people and things that cause you pain is a kind of wisdom and courage."

Ding Yucheng opened his eyes in shock and looked at Zhong Tian.

Nakata had already turned and left.

When Zhongtian went outside, the menacing people had calmed down a bit. Zhongtian looked around the crowd and walked straight to a woman in her forties. This woman was tall and always took the lead in speaking and making decisions. She must be Ding Yucheng's older sister.

"Miss."

The woman sized up Zhongtian, showing no mercy to her former sister-in-law: "Since you've signed the divorce papers, return Cheng'er's original dowry of 20 taels!"
