Description
After three years of a messy marriage, her husband’s first love unexpectedly returned. Wen Yan, unable to bear any more, proposed a divorce. Her friends were all watching her joke. Their marriage was unequal from the beginning; she loved Zhou Junshu so much that it was just a matter of how long she could tolerate bowing her head. One day—two days—everyone was eagerly waiting. Even Zhou Junshu thought so, but what awaited him was a swift and efficient move by Wen Yan, along with the lawyer she had hired. He treated her as a substitute, not knowing that he himself was also someone else’s replacement. Wen Yan has a secret hidden deep in her heart that she couldn’t bring herself to say out loud; ever since high school, she had had a crush on a man. The gap between the two of them was like heaven and earth. Knowing it was impossible, Wen Yan has always buried her desires deep in her heart, pretending they were just ordinary neighbors. Just as she was about to get divorced, she suddenly realized that the man she had always thought was out of her league seemed to be overly concerned about everything related to her. Furthermore, as he pinned her down, Wen Yan’s eyes brimmed with spring water. “You really have ulterior motives toward me.” “Yes, for a long time.”

My Thoughts on She Stopped Pretending After The Divorce
Alright, let's dive into "She Stopped Pretending After The Divorce." This novel promised a journey of self-discovery and second-chance romance after a messy divorce, and while it delivered on some fronts, it stumbled in others. Overall, I found it to be a decent read, but definitely not one I'd be adding to my all-time favorites list.
First Impressions
The premise itself is intriguing: a woman, Wei Yuan, finally breaks free from a loveless marriage and rediscovers herself, eventually finding love with Zhou Yi, who harbored feelings for her years ago. I was immediately drawn to the idea of a female lead taking control of her life and finding genuine happiness. The initial chapters hooked me with the promise of steamy scenes and a satisfying revenge plot against the ex-husband.
What Works Well
The strongest aspect of this novel is Wei Yuan's journey of self-discovery. It's refreshing to see her shed the pretense of her previous marriage and embrace her desires. The romance with Zhou Yi is also a highlight, offering a sweet and fulfilling contrast to her previous relationship. The author doesn't dwell excessively on the "s*um" husband, which I appreciated. Instead, the focus remains firmly on Wei Yuan's growth and her burgeoning relationship with the male lead. The "snu-snu" scenes are present and accounted for, adding a layer of spice to the story, although some might find them repetitive later on.
Areas of Concern
Several plot holes and inconsistencies prevented me from fully immersing myself in the story. The motivations of the ex-husband felt unclear, and the timeline seemed muddled. I also felt like the story lacked depth. The past relationship between Wei Yuan and Zhou Yi is frequently mentioned, but without enough detail to truly resonate. I craved a more fleshed-out backstory for both characters, especially regarding Zhou Yi's family and motivations. The ending felt rushed and somewhat unsatisfying, leaving me with unanswered questions about the characters and their world.

Final Verdict
"She Stopped Pretending After The Divorce" is a decent read if you're looking for a quick, steamy romance with a focus on female empowerment. However, be prepared for some plot inconsistencies and a lack of depth in certain areas. It's an enjoyable escape, but ultimately forgettable.
