Chapter 1: Chapter 1 A Man Should Strengthen Himself, I Want to...!
[PS: The divorce agreement was signed by the original person, and has nothing to do with the real male lead; there will be no reconciliation with the ex-wife, nor picking up the past, please don't curse.]
"Both of you, would you consider it once more?"
"No need, we are sure about the divorce, the cooling-off period has already passed a month ago." In the Civil Affairs Office of Modu's Fan Hua District, a woman wrapped in a coat and wearing sunglasses spoke.
"Have you divided the property? Who gets the custody of the child?"
"We've put everything in the divorce agreement, the child will be with him, the house and car will be mine, there's no problem." The woman's words were somewhat rushed, seemingly reluctant to linger in such a place.
Seeing that the man hadn't spoken, the staff member asked another question, "Sir, are you sure about the divorce?"
At that moment, Gao Jun nodded expressionlessly, "Yes, divorce."
"Alright then, please wait a moment."
Eventually, the staff quickly processed the divorce for both of them.
"Here are your divorce certificates, from this moment on, you are no longer legally married, of course, if you decide to reconcile later, you can register again across the street, no need to queue for marriage." The staff member reminded.
Upon hearing this, the woman blurted out, "It won't happen."
Having said that, she took one of the divorce certificates and turned to leave.
Gao Jun received his politely with both hands and nodded in thanks, "Thank you."
After Gao Jun had left, the staff member murmured softly, "They both looked matched as a well-suited couple, and yet they divorced just like that."
At that moment, Gu Feier walked out of the Civil Affairs Office. Though she was wearing sunglasses, the delicate features beneath them were still visible.
With her impressive figure and a cold demeanor, her attractiveness was unquestionably absolute as she walked around.
She glanced back at Gao Jun and mocked coldly, "If I find out that you can't earn money and can't take care of our daughter's life, I will sue you in court and take back Yingying's custody!"
"Don't worry, I have my hands and feet, I won't let my daughter go hungry, what other children have, she will have too, and even what they don't have, she will still have," he responded confidently.
Gu Feier wasn't expecting today's Gao Jun to suddenly become so assertive, almost like a changed person, which irritated her even more, "It better be such, if I ever know that Yingying is suffering, I definitely won't spare you."
Gao Jun replied calmly, "You don't need to pretend to care about our daughter now, Yingying's and my luggage have been packed and taken away by a moving service, and I've left the house keys on the table."
Seeing him act so swiftly caught Gu Feier off guard and she deliberately asked, "Why? Can't wait? Want to find another love?"
Gao Jun didn't comment, preparing to leave.
Seeing him about to leave, Gu Feier was desperate to regain some dignity, "I have the right to visit Yingying, I want to see her on weekends, you have to arrange it."
"Right, but I doubt you'll have the time," Gao Jun said without turning back, leaving her with these words as he walked away.
"Feifei, you see, this is how men are, he's shown his true nature," Tang Tingting, her gossiping friend who had been watching, immediately stepped in to comment.
"Tingting, are all men this heartless?" Gu Feier asked, watching his retreating figure, slightly angered.
Tang Tingting, who had all along been scheming behind, advised, "You are progressing while he is stagnant, isn't separation natural? Besides, ever since he went bankrupt, he even started delivering parcels, how is he worthy of you!"
"A bankrupt man like Gao Jun, how could there be a chance for a comeback, he might never prosper again this lifetime, and now you can rightly be with your college's old flame."
Hearing this, Gu Feier seemed more resolute, her inner voice firmly deciding, "[Gao Jun, the happiness you can't give, someone else can!]"
She then sent a message to Lin Chen, "[Dear, I've divorced. When will you?]"
...
Gao Jun walked along the road.
His mood was somewhat heavy.
It was not because he had just signed the divorce agreement and was heartbroken.
But because ten minutes ago, he had traveled to this parallel universe.
The original person was also named Gao Jun.
Back in his college days, he had secretly loved his wife, Gu Feier.
But at that time, Gu Feier didn't care about him at all and was whole-heartedly in love with her so-called first love, Lin Chen.
Since Lin Chen felt that Gu Feier was too controlling, he rejected her advances.
Seeing an opportunity, Gao Jun timely consoled the heartbroken woman.
The two also sparked a romance afterward.
On a rainy night, under the influence of alcohol, their love deepened.
But since there were no contraceptives available, Gao Jun decided to stop.
However, the headstrong Gu Feier declared that her desires could not be restrained.
Thus, they had their first time.
He never thought the first time would lead to pregnancy.
But a month later.
She was pregnant.
Out of a sense of responsibility, Gao Jun chose to marry her, planning to take care of Gu Feier for life.
They had their first child, named Gao Yingying.
Just as Gao Jun graduated, his company became increasingly successful,
and even after giving birth, Gu Feier maintained a sensational figure.
Car, house, woman, and child, he had it all.
To others, Gao Jun was truly a winner in life.
However, life is not always smooth, and the economic downturn in recent years made Gao Jun's business bleak, ultimately leading to bankruptcy.
At first, Gu Feier still encouraged Gao Jun to make a comeback.
But as time went on, conflicts in their life emerged one after another.
As the saying goes, a poor couple has a hundred woes.
During this period, Gu Feier inadvertently got in touch with Lin Chen.
The dissatisfaction in life and the disharmony between the couple soon led her to betray her love.
Originally, for the sake of the family and for their daughter, she had tried her best in everything with the aim of changing Gu Feier's mind.
But his repeated forbearance only made Gu Feier more aggressive.
Finally, she proposed a divorce.
The original refused, wanting to think it over.
But Gu Feier gave a deadline of one month.
After the one-month cooling period for the divorce had passed, she immediately found Gao Jun and asked him to sign the divorce papers.
Previously, the original had continuously tried to salvage the relationship, hoping Gu Feier would provide their daughter with a complete family.
But as his ex-wife persistently pressured him, he ultimately agreed to the divorce.
Because there was no concrete evidence of her cheating, he had initially planned to split the assets evenly and to have custody of the child.
But Gu Feier insisted on fighting for custody of the child, even wanting to take it to court.
He had also consulted a lawyer before, who generally said that the judge would tend to award the child to the more financially stable party.
Having no choice, he could only propose that he wanted the custody of the child while the house and car could go to her.
Having understood all these matters, Gao Jun, who had come from another time, initially wanted to fight for more, but alas, he had already signed the divorce papers.
However, this marriage definitely had to end!
Carrying such a burden on his head, he would not compromise like the original did.
Because he knew, an unhappy family is more despairing than an incomplete one!
Of course, according to his memory, the original had secretly done a paternity test after his wife cheated.
Fortunately, the child was his own.
Now that the divorce was finalized.
Gao Jun was walking on the street.
To him, this matter of divorce was trivial.
It was as if he had freeloaded someone else's wife for six years.
Now the focus was on making money, not only for himself but also for a daughter who needed his care.
Suddenly, a voice came through.
[The Self-Improvement System for Men is loading...]
[The system detects that the host is in a state of divorce, females will only slow down a man's speed, wishing you a happy breakup!]

[Main quest one: It's detected that the host has been mentally distressed and physically unhealthy for the past two years. Run three kilometers every day for a week, and you will receive a reward of ten thousand yuan.]
After understanding the system, Gao Jun realized that as long as he actively completed the main quest set by the system while working to make money.
Money wouldn't be a problem!
With money, there was a chance to make a comeback!
Thinking about this, he couldn't help but feel revitalized.
Then he looked at the little one in front of him and apologized, "Yingying, I have to tell you something. Your mom and I have separated, and from now on, you'll live with Dad. The house we live in might not be as big, but once Dad makes more money, I'll get you a bigger house."
"Dad!!"
Gao Yingying, who had inherited the appearance of Gao Jun and Gu Feier, with skin so delicate it seemed broken by a blow, clung to Gao Jun's thigh and happily said, "As long as I'm with dad, I don't need a big house."
Looking at her innocent and lovely appearance, Gao Jun felt even more guilty.
Because of the adults' decisions, she would become a child of a single-parent family.
It was all their fault, so Gao Jun added, "But don't worry, mom will come to see you from time to time, and we will both be there to watch you grow up."
"I don't want to!" Gao Yingying's cute little face immediately puckered up, and she pouted her lips, shaking her head: "I don't want mom, she doesn't like me. She rarely plays with me, always likes to hang out with her friends, and it's only me and dad who stay at home."
After saying this, her little head quickly thought it over and she immediately said excitedly, "Dad! Why don't you find me a stepmom? I think Miss Jiang is very nice. She's as pretty as mom. No, she's prettier than mom!!"
