After the Most Hated Persona Faked Their Death, the Ex-Husband Lost His Mind

Li Zhi, a victim of relentless school bullying, fell deeply in love with the noble Chu Mingzhang after the man rescued him. Since then, he became Chu Mingzhang’s number one fan, follower, and loyal assistant. While being a mere follower was enough for some, Li Zhi harbored unrealistic fantasies. His greatest wish was to become Chu Mingzhang’s boyfriend; he even prayed to the Bodhisattva for this every New Year. However, the Bodhisattva was busy and did not pay him any mind. Li Zhi could only hide his feelings in his heart, constantly comforting himself that being a follower was a wonderful job. This continued until one day when Li Zhi watched his idol fall from grace. He suddenly realized this might be the only opportunity in his life to realize his dream. Thus, the timid Li Zhi did something incredibly bold: he invited his god out for a “negotiation.” Sitting across from the man, Li Zhi’s hands trembled as he placed a contract before Chu Mingzhang. “I can sell the shares my father gave me. I can give you the money to help you solve your capital chain problem.” Chu Mingzhang asked him, “What is the price?” Li Zhi replied, “You marry me.” Chu Mingzhang’s expression flickered through anger, embarrassment, and humiliation. Ultimately, he took the pen and signed the contract. Before the wedding, Li Zhi held great expectations for their marriage. After the wedding, reality strangled those expectations personally. As the saying goes, “Twisted melons are not sweet.” Chu Mingzhang loathed him; he truly loathed him. In this marriage, they had almost no communication except for their monthly encounters in bed. For those rare occasions, Chu Mingzhang even had to rely on medication to fulfill his marital duties. The level of Chu Mingzhang’s hatred far exceeded his imagination. During their three-year marriage, Li Zhi repeatedly met Chu Mingzhang’s cold mockery and indifference with a warm face. However, there is a limit to how much a person can degrade themselves. Finally, Li Zhi could no longer endure this tragic marriage and proposed a divorce. This time, the man who was always arrogant changed his attitude. Chu Mingzhang refused the divorce request. He even used his status as a “husband” to lock Li Zhi in a psychiatric hospital. When Li Zhi rejected the soup offered to him for the twelfth time and turned away in exhaustion, Chu Mingzhang finally snapped. He looked as though he wanted to lose his temper, but he ultimately restrained himself. Chu Mingzhang still bore a deep scar on his head from when Li Zhi hit him with a vase during a struggle. He pointed to his head and softened his voice, saying, “I forgive you, and you forgive me. As long as you do not divorce me, I will sign the papers and take you home. Is that okay?” Li Zhi shook his head and said faintly, “I want a divorce.” Chu Mingzhang’s face went cold. “Only that is not allowed.” He was adamant. Li Zhi saw that he wanted to salvage something, but Li Zhi truly had no strength left to continue living with him. Perhaps even God could not watch any longer. In Li Zhi’s third month at the psychiatric hospital, a mysterious fire broke out. When Chu Mingzhang rushed back from out of town, Li Zhi’s ward was already burnt black. That person could not escape. Chu Mingzhang knelt on the ground, cradling the unrecognizable, charred corpse. He kissed the blackened face, laughing and crying like a madman. He apologized repeatedly and said “I love you,” but it was useless because the corpse could not hear him. On the seventh day after Li Zhi’s death, an 8:00 AM train sped out of the city toward a distant place known to no one.
