She had originally anticipated that once the storytelling and opera versions of "Starfall Rain" were released, many people would have already seen them and would no longer be interested in the picture book.

She plans to publish a picture book, hoping to capitalize on the remaining audience who haven't seen it yet. She's not worried about losing money; in fact, she might even make a small profit.

I never imagined these people would be so crazy, treating the art book like "Meteor Shower" merchandise!

Inside the Marquis's residence, Bai Zunxing and her close friends said, "Did you know that the picture book for 'Starfall Rain' has been published? I want to see how they'll depict my Dongfang Shu and Wu Qingzi!"

“Zunxing, now that you mention it, I’m really looking forward to it too,” said Liang Su’ai.

“If you want to know, it’s right here!” Wei Ruochun on the other side took out the picture book from his arms.

"Ah! Ruochun, how did you get this picture book? I heard it's very hard to buy; it sold out instantly as soon as it went on sale yesterday."

“Naturally, I got it from my mother,” Wei Ruochun said with a hint of pride.

"Madam Wei is amazing! She managed to snag this."

"Haha, it's alright." Heaven knows, this was bought by Madam Wei for twenty taels of silver from someone else, so it was very precious to her. Originally, Wei Ruochun wanted to borrow it from her mother, and after much pleading, she was finally agreed to borrow it for only one day.

"Come on, let's take a look together." Wei Ruochun didn't explain much, but simply beckoned her close friends to come closer and look at the picture book.

"This painting is really good!"

"She's out! She's out! This is Wu Qingzi! So beautiful and cool!"

"Waaah, these four young masters of the Imperial City are so handsome! No wonder they are the four young masters of the Imperial Academy, so many women adore them."

Meanwhile, those in Bianjing who bought the album exclaimed, "This album is exquisite in its painting techniques and beautiful in its style; it's truly stunning!"

"Waaah, it wasn't for nothing that I spent eight strings of cash. This is money I've been saving for so long!"

"It was really worth it, it felt like seeing my favorite character come to life."

Discussions about "Starfall Rain" have surged again in Bianjing.

Inside a teahouse, the crowd had already finished listening to today's storytelling, but they were reluctant to leave for a long time.

"This ending was so unexpected. I can only say that Mr. Wuming is too amazing. He always writes endings that are unexpected."

"Yes! I originally thought that Wu Qingzi would continue to suffer with Nangong Fengyao all the way and finally get together, but I didn't expect that Wu Qingzi would suddenly awaken and work hard to take the exam, and eventually become a female official."

"This ending is not bad. Wu Qingzi got her wish and became a female official. Nangong Fengyao also regained his memory, overcame all difficulties and was with his beloved. Moreover, the four young masters of the imperial city all found their own happiness in the end."

"Marriage has never been a shackle binding Wu Qingzi. How wonderful! She was able to meet such a husband. It's a pity that such a story only exists in novels."

"Tsk, the idea of ​​women holding official positions is just wishful thinking. What kind of bullshit story is this! It's a waste of my time to listen to it." This wasn't the first or second time someone had said something like this.

Even though "Starfall Rain" is currently popular in Bianjing and has become a household name, there are still a large number of men who find it laughable and completely incomprehensible.

Ye Yuwu didn't need their understanding. How could these men, as beneficiaries of the system, possibly comprehend the hardships women faced in that era?

After the picture book was published, the main character's image became more three-dimensional.

"Who understands the significance of the Four Young Masters of the Imperial City marrying only one woman in their lifetime! In Bianjing, which of these prestigious families can achieve that!"

"I'm not going to say anything more. The Four Young Masters of the Imperial City are too good. I'll find a suitable husband based on their standards!"

"If that's really the case, then I guess you'll never find a suitable husband in your entire life."

The criteria for choosing a son-in-law in Bianjing are quietly changing. The change is that the requirements are becoming more stringent. These changes are causing some discontent to slowly accumulate, and one day it will finally erupt due to a certain opportunity.

Ye Yuwu, however, was not affected. After more than a month, Wan Niang's health gradually recovered.

Ye Yuwu found an opportunity to ask her what her plans were for the future.

"I...I don't know." She hadn't been back for over a month. Xie Changshi hadn't come looking for her, but her two children had come to visit her.

But they were telling her to go back to her home and apologize to their father, and that would be the end of it. What else could they do?

"Wan Niang, have you ever thought about getting a divorce?" After careful consideration, Ye Yuwu still gave her suggestion.

"Divorce?!" Wan Niang was somewhat surprised.

“This man, Xie Changshi, beats you every time he drinks, and you can only endure it. He almost beat you to death a while ago. This time you were lucky to have Wangxuan, but what about next time? Who can save you? The only one who can truly save you is yourself. You are talented, literate, and can earn money. Why should you endure the tyranny of a man? Besides, your children are growing up…” Ye Yuwu did not continue speaking.

To be honest, she felt disgusted by Wan Niang's children. Their mother was being beaten, yet they could stand by and watch, even supporting their father and telling their mother to go back and apologize to him. It was as if she had raised two ungrateful wretches, the kind without a heart, which she found utterly repulsive.

"But I'm divorced, what will happen to Wangxuan?"

At this moment, Xiao Wangxuan, who had been hiding behind the screen, ran out and hugged his mother.

"It's alright, I'll go wherever Mother goes."

“Wangxuan…” Wan Niang hugged Wangxuan’s small body, trembling uncontrollably. The mother and son cried together.

After a long while, Wan Niang finally recovered and said to Ye Yuwu, "Manager Ye, you're right. I have to get a divorce, otherwise I won't even know when I die at this man's hands!"

Wan Niang made up her mind to get a divorce, so she wrote a divorce letter and returned to the Xie residence to find Chief Secretary Xie.

Ye Yuwu guessed that the divorce wouldn't go smoothly, but she didn't know that Wan Niang had changed her mind after leaving the Xie residence.

"I'm so angry! Wan Niang changes her mind so easily, saying she won't divorce, and that's it! What do we look like then? Like shameless villains spreading rumors!" Zhang Rouyan was worried that Wan Niang would suffer and be unable to handle the divorce with Xie Changshi, so she offered to help her.

When he returned, he didn't even drink any tea and gave a long, angry speech.

From her words, everyone learned the whole story.

"Manager Ye, aren't you angry?" Zhang Rouyan finished the whole pot of tea as soon as she finished speaking, not leaving a single drop, her eyes almost murderous.

But when she turned her head, she saw that Manager Ye did not look very angry. Zhang Rouyan thought that Manager Ye was furious, which was why he did not show any expression.

"It would be a lie to say I'm not angry, but then I thought, what's there to be angry about? After all, it was her own decision, wasn't it?"

I reached out my hand to help her, but that doesn't mean others would necessarily be willing. I didn't want to force anyone.

Ye Yuwu sighed and came to terms with it.
