Don't Lie to Your Therapist—She Already Knows Your Fate
Chapter 72 - 70: Does She Want the Title of a Divorcee?
"While we were dating, we never fought. Every day was happy. We did the chores around the house together, and in our free time, we’d go traveling. I treated her like my princess, and I worked hard to give her anything she wanted. If there was something she liked to eat, I’d go buy it for her, even if it was the middle of the night and I had to run halfway across the city. When she got sick, I’d take time off work to care for her. I even gave her my debit card to manage and set up a five-thousand-yuan-a-month linked payment for her."
[My god! I thought men this good were extinct! I can’t believe they still exist!]
[You must have spoiled your girlfriend rotten, right? You brought this on yourself! You simp!]
[If my boyfriend treated me like that, I’d absolutely treat him like a king!]
"Whenever I visited her family, I’d always buy gifts for her parents in advance. When I was at her house, I’d wash the dishes and do chores. In short, everything was blissful. I was willing to do anything for her."
[Aren’t simps supposed to win it all in the end? How did you end up with nothing?]
[I’m curious what actually happened on the day you registered your marriage. A woman was willing to get legally married to you, so how could she divorce you on the very same day? Did she just want the ’divorced’ status?]
[The commenter above is spitting facts. I’m just waiting for Doctor Wen’s epic takedown!]
"Don’t get me wrong, everyone. She’s actually a really good person. When we were together, she was very gentle. She would even use her own salary to buy gifts for my parents and help cover household expenses."
The Whole World For You seemed to be trying to create the persona of someone who still praises their ex after a breakup. But for him to announce that he’d been abandoned in front of a hundred thousand people... was he sure he wasn’t just a "male white lotus"?
"I know everyone’s curious why such a wonderful person would insist on divorcing me right after we registered our marriage, in front of my family and relatives. I only found out that day... it turns out she looked down on my parents."
As The Whole World For You spoke, his eyes reddened as if he was overwhelmed with emotion.
"These past few days have been a living hell. My relatives are all mocking my parents and me. I don’t care about myself, but I can’t ignore my parents’ feelings. They worked so hard to raise me, and in the end, I’ve made them endure so much gossip and criticism. I’ve failed them. I’ve even thought about suicide several times. I just don’t understand... why would the gentle and devoted person she was before suddenly change like this right after we got married?"
[Isn’t it usually the man who changes completely after marriage? Women do it too?]
[Just passing by for the drama! If the woman is really like that, then bro, you don’t need to be sad! You cut your losses just in time! If you had stayed with her, both you and your parents would have suffered!]
[Why do I feel like I’ve seen this exact plot before? But with the man and woman’s roles reversed.]
"Doctor Wen, I can’t get over this relationship. I think about her every day. But I don’t want my parents to worry about me anymore. Can you help me?"
The Whole World For You spoke in a hoarse voice, his eyes red as he looked at Wen Ying in the livestream.
[Doctor Wen, please do something! This angsty plot doesn’t fit the vibe of our stream!]
[Let’s doxx that woman! Get this fellow patient trending! Make her regret it!]
[Patient World! She must have looked down on your family because you don’t have money! We can help you get trending now, you can become an influencer, and when your family is rich, she’ll definitely come crawling back to you! Then you can just give her the side-eye! How satisfying would it be to reject her then?!]
[The idea from the commenter above sounds pretty good, worth considering! Let’s help Patient World become an influencer!]
The Whole World For You watched, moved, as the netizens in the stream strategized for him.
"That ’fellow patient’ who commented is right. While you were dating your girlfriend, you did do a very good job—better than ninety percent of the men in this world."
[See! See! I knew Patient World wasn’t lying! That woman is a gold-digger!]
[I believe Doctor Wen! I’m willing to help this patient get trending!]
[Me too! I really want to see the look on that girl’s face when she’s full of regret, crying her eyes out and begging to get back together!]
"Everyone, don’t be hasty. Let me first help our patient find the root of his problem."
"During your relationship, your girlfriend was indeed gentle, hardworking, and understanding. She treated your parents well, too."
[Holy shit! So he wasn’t making it up? If they were both so good, how did they end up turning on each other?]
[I’m never taking a side until Doctor Wen finishes her diagnosis! I’m afraid of the inevitable face-slap!]
"On the day you registered your marriage, you were both looking forward to a wonderful future. I believe that. That’s why she registered the marriage with you even before you had a wedding ceremony. That day, your parents invited friends and family over to celebrate."
"At the main table, your mother placed a shrimp on your girlfriend’s plate. Your girlfriend said she was allergic to shrimp, so she set it aside. As she did this, she looked at you. And you, the only person in this family she could rely on, told her to eat that shrimp. You said that otherwise, people would laugh at your mom, and that not eating it meant making your mom lose face."
"She didn’t get angry. She just put her chopsticks aside and stopped eating. Afterward, you went around to the other tables, drinking with everyone. She was concerned and told you to drink less, but you got impatient. After you’d made toasts at two tables, she told you again to drink less, saying it was getting dark and she wanted you to go home with her. That’s when you got angry."
"You told her you’d been ’putting up with her’ for a long time! You said you’d been holding it in ever since she refused to eat the shrimp your mom gave her, that she wasn’t considering your mom’s feelings at all. You told her that after you’re married, your mom would be the one in charge of the household, and she had to learn to obey her mother-in-law and serve your entire family."
"So she left. She said she wanted a divorce without a moment’s hesitation and waited for you at the Civil Affairs Bureau the next day. I haven’t gotten any part of that scene wrong, have I?"
[SLAP SLAP SLAP! I wonder whose face is being slapped so hard it’s echoing!]
[Scumbag! A fucking scumbag! As a man, I’m embarrassed for you! How dare you come here and play the victim when you’re such a piece of shit?]
[It’s men like you who ruin the reputation of the rest of us! Have some fucking shame! If I were you, I’d just go dive headfirst into a cesspool!]
[I’m so glad the woman ran into this on the very first day! If she had actually gone home with him, who knows what kind of Hell mode her life would have become!]
[That girl is a prime example of someone staying clear-headed in the Mortal World!]
[Hey, commenter above, I remember you! Earlier you were calling this scumbag a prime example of ’staying clear-headed’. How does it feel to be a turncoat?]
[So what was the point of this whole act? To ruin his ex-girlfriend’s reputation?]
"Doctor Wen! We have no grudge against each other, how could you frame me like this? I connected with you on this stream because I trusted you!"
The Whole World For You’s expression changed drastically. He started stomping his feet in the stream’s video feed, fuming with rage and embarrassment.
"I thought you were a professional psychologist, a good doctor! Now it seems you’re just a charlatan with an unearned reputation!" 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Doctor Wen just smiled. "As for this patient’s goal, it was naturally to completely ruin his ex-girlfriend’s reputation, and at the same time—"
