📖 Chapter 10 – The Abandoned Wife

✍️ Summary by MSY

At the glittering banquet, Su Nan faces Fu Yechuan for the first time since their divorce. Unlike the past, her heart is calm—she has already let go. Qiao Wanrou, now at Fu Yechuan’s side, tries to humiliate Su Nan, but Su Jin’s cold disdain silences her. Su Nan herself delivers sharp barbs, refusing to retreat. Fu Yechuan watches, conflicted, his gaze lingering on Su Nan’s radiant transformation. Su Jin openly mocks Qiao Wanrou, calling her presence a stain on the banquet’s elegance, before leading Su Nan away. Humiliated, Qiao Wanrou pleads with Fu Yechuan, but he ignores her, his eyes fixed on Su Nan. Later, Su Nan stands alone by the moonlit pool, wine in hand, her aura unbowed despite being branded an “abandoned wife.”

💖 Review by MSY (Reaction Voice)

This chapter was pure drama and I loved every second of it. The banquet setting—gold, crystal, power humming in the air—was the perfect stage for Su Nan’s rebirth. She walked in radiant, luminous, and completely unshaken. That calmness, that stillness in her heart, was everything. She wasn’t there to prove herself to Fu Yechuan; she was there to show she no longer needed him.

Qiao Wanrou’s attempt to humiliate her was laughable. “Do you think this is a place for you?” Please. Su Nan’s icy reply—“Whether I come, and with whom, hardly requires Miss Qiao’s approval”—was chef’s kiss. She didn’t flinch, didn’t bow, didn’t even raise her voice. Just pure, cutting elegance.

And Su Jin? Absolute legend. His disdain for Qiao Wanrou was brutal. “It seems the elegance of this banquet has been diminished by Miss Qiao Wanrou’s presence.” That line was devastating. He didn’t just defend Su Nan—he elevated her, making Qiao Wanrou look small in front of everyone. I swear I could feel the burn on her cheeks.

Fu Yechuan’s silence was fascinating. He didn’t rescue Qiao Wanrou, didn’t defend her, just stood there watching Su Nan walk away with another man. His face dark as water, his emotions storming—it was the perfect contrast. He’s realizing too late what he lost, and it’s eating him alive.

The final image of Su Nan by the moonlit pool, wine in hand, was haunting. “An abandoned wife”—but she stood radiant, unbowed, untouchable. That’s the power of her transformation. She’s no longer defined by what she lost, but by the strength she carries now.

🔎 Deeper Review & Analysis

👩 Character Deep Dive

Su Nan stands radiant and resolute, refusing to retreat even in the face of hostility. Her presence proves she can walk into power unbowed, embodying confidence that cannot be shaken. Fu Yechuan, silent and conflicted, is visibly shaken; his inability to defend Qiao Wanrou reveals the depth of his inner turmoil and the cracks forming in his certainty. Su Jin, protective and commanding, delivers an icy rebuke that not only humiliates Qiao Wanrou but also elevates Su Nan’s status, reinforcing her rightful place. Qiao Wanrou, fragile beneath her arrogance, finds her humiliation laid bare, underscoring her desperation and lack of true standing against Su Nan’s growing strength.

⚔️ Themes of Liberation, Humiliation, and Transformation

Liberation defines Su Nan’s calm strength, humiliation marks Qiao Wanrou’s failed attempt to assert dominance, and transformation radiates from Su Nan’s dazzling presence.

⏳ The Author’s Pacing

The pacing builds tension through confrontation, then releases it with Su Jin’s cutting remark and Su Nan’s radiant departure. The quiet ending by the pool balances spectacle with introspection, ensuring the chapter closes with both grandeur and reflection. This rhythm allows readers to savor the drama while feeling the weight of Su Nan’s transformation.

🔮 Predictions

I predict Su Nan’s banquet appearance will mark a turning point, solidifying her independence and reshaping alliances.

Looking ahead, several plot threads seem likely:

• Su Nan’s Transformation: Her radiant presence will continue to redefine her identity, proving she belongs in elite circles.
• Fu Yechuan’s Conflict: His silent turmoil will deepen, driving him toward regret and possible attempts at reconciliation.
• Qiao Wanrou’s Escalation: Humiliated publicly, she will likely intensify her schemes, desperate to reclaim attention.
• Su Jin’s Role: His protective stance signals he will remain a powerful ally, shielding Su Nan from further attacks.

Together, these threads suggest the banquet is only the beginning — Su Nan’s sovereignty will ripple outward, challenging the Fu family’s dominance.
