President Lu, Stop Acting Up! Your Wife Doesn’t Want You Anymore

Shi Nian spent seven years devoted to Lu Yanzhi, a man who saved her life during her youth and became the center of her world. She followed him relentlessly, fulfilling every request with desperate compliance, believing that her loyalty would eventually earn his genuine love. A year ago, she married him in a union arranged to bring good fortune to his ailing grandfather. However, the marriage proved to be a hollow shell. Lu Yanzhi remained emotionally distant, treating Shi Nian as a convenient wife while harboring deep affection for Han Wei, a florist diagnosed with terminal stomach cancer. Lu Yanzhi viewed his marriage to Shi Nian as a temporary arrangement, planning to divorce her after six months to marry Han Wei during her final days.

The central conflict ignites when Lu Yanzhi demands a divorce, framing it as a favor to his dying lover. He assumes Shi Nian will obediently agree, as she has done for years. However, Shi Nian discovers Han Wei’s secret alt account, which contains messages revealing that Han Wei is not merely a pitiful victim but an active participant in the affair, mocking Shi Nian’s status as a reluctant convenience wife. Simultaneously, Shi Nian learns she is pregnant with Lu Yanzhi’s child. Rather than clinging to the marriage, she experiences a profound emotional shift. She decides to end her seven-year infatuation, agreeing to the divorce without hesitation. She proceeds to file for divorce and schedules an abortion, choosing to prioritize her own well-being over a child that symbolizes her bondage to Lu Yanzhi.

As the divorce enters its mandatory cooling-off period, Shi Nian begins to reconstruct her identity. She moves out of the marital home, cuts her waist-length hair, and adopts a new, bold style that reflects her true self rather than Lu Yanzhi’s preferences. She also reconnects with her career as a behind-the-scenes music composer, operating under the pseudonym Yan. Her former employer, Fu Jinyan, helps her navigate the entertainment industry. Meanwhile, Han Wei escalates her campaign to usurp Shi Nian’s life. She fabricates a public narrative of a brave woman facing death with dignity, leveraging her terminal diagnosis to garner sympathy and online support. Han Wei demands that Lu Yanzhi pressure Shi Nian to sell her a valuable song, intending to claim it as her own original work for an upcoming music variety show called The Voice of Heaven.

Lu Yanzhi, oblivious to Shi Nian’s inner turmoil and pregnancy, remains focused on satisfying Han Wei’s dying wishes. He is irritated by Shi Nian’s newfound independence and refusal to comply with his demands, interpreting her changes as a tantrum rather than a genuine departure. He fails to notice that Shi Nian has completely detached from him emotionally. In a pivotal confrontation at Fu Entertainment, Shi Nian, disguised and using her stage name Yi Ning, agrees to sell the song to Han Wei. She does so not out of submission, but as a strategic move to enter the music competition and expose Han Wei’s plagiarism publicly. Shi Nian plans to reveal her true identity as the song’s creator during the show, turning the tables on her rivals.

The story moves toward a climax where Shi Nian prepares to undergo the abortion and start a new life independent of the Lu family. She begins treatment for her depression, acknowledging that her past devotion was a form of self-destruction. Han Wei, confident in her manipulation of public opinion and Lu Yanzhi’s loyalty, continues to scheme against Shi Nian, unaware that her target is preparing a counterattack. The narrative sets the stage for a dramatic reveal on The Voice of Heaven, where Shi Nian intends to reclaim her career, expose Han Wei’s deceit, and force Lu Yanzhi to confront the consequences of his neglect and betrayal.
