Chapter 1 Part 1: Abandoned

"Vivian, come to Heartbreak Island, let's get a divorce."

As soon as Bella Vivian logged into the game, she saw a message from her in-game "husband" Jason Purewater. Vivian was a bit dumbfounded. Really? Just because the dorm's broadband was down for half a month, and in just these ten days, there's a "change of heart"?

Vivian took a long time to reply: "Why?"

Jason Purewater: "Vivian, I'm sorry, don't ask the reason. I'll give you a set of celestial equipment as compensation."

Alimony too? Vivian felt a bit awkward, "No need."

In-game marriages aren't real anyway. The reason she married Jason Purewater in the first place was to complete a task that had a great reward but required a couple to do it. So, the single men and women in the guild all got married. Jason Purewater sent a message asking Vivian if she could marry him, and after thinking about it, she agreed.

They had been married for several months now. Although Vivian never sweet-talked him with "husband" this and "husband" that, always calling him by his name, they had a good partnership and fought side by side often, which seemed to have developed some camaraderie.

But it's just a game...

Vivian replied: "I'll be right there."

In the game, Vivian's character "Reed Vivian" mounted her horse and headed towards Heartbreak Island.

"Reed Vivian" is a red-clad female warrior in a tight outfit.

The game Vivian played, "Dreaming of Jianghu," is one of the hottest martial arts online games on the market. While the game doesn't stand out in other aspects, its art is exceptionally strong, and there are many characters to choose from, with eighteen male and female characters each. Vivian chose the red-clad female warrior, which is not a popular choice. It's not that the warrior isn't beautiful, but her weapon is a massive sword.

The massive sword, compared to the elegant jade flute, the dancing white ribbon, the soft sword like autumn water, and the Emei dagger, lacks aesthetic appeal and femininity. So, few girls choose it, but Vivian likes it. She thinks it's fierce and suits her image.

Arriving at Heartbreak Island, the two drank the Forgetting Love Water together, and the system announced: "Reed Vivian" and "Jason Purewater" have broken up, announcing their divorce, and from now on, they are free to marry others.

Jason Purewater wanted to give Vivian a set of celestial equipment, but Vivian declined, sending a smiley face, and the red-clad warrior walked away boldly.

The next day at noon, after Vivian finished lunch and logged in, a girl in the guild who she often interacted with, Thunder Nina, sent a message: "Vivian, what's going on? You and Purewater divorced? I heard he's marrying Little Rain Fairy at eight tonight!"

Vivian: "..."

Thunder Nina: "Really divorced?"

Vivian: "Yes."

Thunder Nina: "What a pity, Purewater is quite nice. I didn't expect him to be swayed by beauty, but Little Rain Fairy is indeed very pretty."

Nina was referring to real-life beauty, not the game character. Three months ago, the game company held a player reality show contest, and the top three players would receive high-level outfits, experience, and other rewards. Little Rain Fairy won with a few photos and a video, gaining the title "The Most Beautiful Woman in Jianghu," which immediately caused a sensation on the server Vivian was on, making Little Rain Fairy the target of many admirers.

Her "ex-husband" quickly married another woman. Although she only had some camaraderie with Purewater, Vivian couldn't help but feel a bit down, banging her head on the table (this is what she does when she's upset...), shouting, "This is unfair, judging by appearance!!!!"

Vivian didn't shout this in the game but in the dorm, so she was immediately hit with a pillow by her roommate.

"Bella Vivian! You, a bona fide beauty, shouting like that, how are we supposed to live?"

Indeed, Bella Vivian is a beauty, and a super beauty at that. But there are many types of beauties: elegant, intellectual, sweet, gentle, virtuous...

And then there's Vivian's type—a vase type...

Although Vivian always studies hard and strives to be more knowledgeable, however...

With her stunning eyebrows, captivating eyes, always rosy lips, and fiery figure, even if Bella Vivian wore the very plain school uniform of A University, no one would think she was a student of a top university.

Vivian thought of her lifelong regret and continued banging her head on the table.

In the computer, Thunder Nina continued gossiping: "I heard Little Rain Fairy was supposed to marry someone on the leaderboard, but ended up with Purewater. But recently, I've often seen Purewater leveling up with her."

So, they developed "feelings" while she was away. Vivian sent a burnt, charred expression.

"Actually, it's not Purewater's fault. Vivian, actually..."

"Actually what?" Vivian finished banging her head, picked up a teacup to drink water, and typed with one hand.

"Actually... you're so skilled, ranked sixth on the PK leaderboard, and never ask guys for equipment, so everyone suspects you're a cross-dresser!"

"Pfft!" Vivian sprayed water all over the screen.
