"My darling gives me 100,000 dollars every month to take care of his wife and baby after she gave birth. It's easy money, and it's a lot!"
In the photo she attached, she was full of joy.

I wanted to die.
The more I saw her posts, the more I wanted to die.
When I complained about feeling nauseous and unable to eat, Stephen, who was "working overtime", went to the most expensive restaurant for a candlelit dinner with Joy.
On the day when I had a cesarean section and was given anesthesia to go on the operating table, Stephen, who was "on a business trip", was drawing heart shapes on the beach with Joy.
I flaunted that he brought me a bouquet of flowers home every day after work no matter how busy he was. Actually, it was because Joy's family owned a flower shop, and she lived upstairs from the shop.
I used to be proud of his meticulous love for me, but now I realized he was just casually brushing me off.
It came to me that when I just became pregnant, he complained that he wanted to have sex but couldn't. He never brought it up again afterward.
Tears blurred my eyes and the screen of my phone.
I typed desperately to seek help online, hoping to grab a life-saving straw.
"My husband cheated on me with his student during my pregnancy.
"She came to my house as a maid, and now my baby is closer to her than me.
"What's the point of living such a life?"
I stared blankly at the phone screen.
It seemed like the netizens who scolded me had changed.
[If you really don't want to live, then I can only say that you deserve it!]
[It's fine. Your baby is still young and won't remember you when he grows up. He will consider the mistress as his mother and be bullied by the children your husband and the mistress have in the future. How nice.]
[I think I know the woman. I am her classmate. She wanted to seduce your husband when she was a freshman, but at that time, you were so outstanding that your husband didn't even look at her. Guess how she got her way later?]
[You chose to get married and get pregnant. You stopped reading and don't have a job. And now you wanna kill yourself? You're a fool in love. You deserve it.]
There were so many comments.
I sat alone in the small room and read them all night.
Thank you for scolding me.
You woke me up with your scolding.

I became clear-minded overnight.
I suddenly realized that it wasn't a perfect marriage at all.
