Almost Missing the Auspicious Hour, I Divorced Him After Father’s Burial

When Ji Yan’s father passes away suddenly, his will clearly stipulates that the person who holds the mourning banner and escorts the spirit during the funeral will inherit all his assets together with three valuable residential properties. On the day of the funeral, all relatives and family friends gather in the courtyard, waiting respectfully for this solemn rite to begin. The auspicious ceremony time, 7:18 a.m., is fast approaching. Yet Xie Jing, Ji Yan’s husband, is still nowhere to be found, as he has prioritized going out to pick up his childhood sweetheart, Xu Meng, instead of honoring this important occasion. He keeps calling Ji Yan over and over, pressuring her and demanding that she delay the scheduled ritual time for his sake. Pushed beyond her limits and deeply humiliated, Ji Yan can no longer endure his selfishness and coldness. Right as the auspicious time arrives, she smashes the mourning basin, takes up the mourning banner, and single-handedly takes charge of the entire funeral procedure without waiting for him. Xie Jing eventually shows up late alongside Xu Meng, and their inappropriate arrival earns them undisguised disdain and sharp judgment from all the attending relatives. Once the funeral concludes, Ji Yan resolutely decides to divorce Xie Jing, tired of his betrayal and blatant disregard for her grieving family. But Xie Jing is greedy for the huge inheritance outlined in the will and is unwilling to agree to the divorce easily. He secretly plans every means to fight and seize the fortune for himself by any trick. On the day of the hundred-day memorial ceremony for Ji Yan’s late father, Xu Meng suddenly clutches her stomach and screams in agony. Unbeknownst to everyone inside the mourning hall, an even more vicious and carefully laid trap is quietly unfolding just outside.
