Done Being Used (离婚后，前夫悔不当初)

After years of enduring a loveless, exploitative marriage, the heroine finally files for divorce and walks away from her entitled husband. Freed from the role of a doormat, she reinvents herself, pours her energy into her career, and steadily rebuilds her self-worth. Meanwhile, her ex-husband, who once took her for granted, slowly realizes the depth of his loss. As she rises to new heights of success and independence, he begins a desperate campaign to win her back. However, the heroine must decide whether to give him a second chance or move forward into a future she has built entirely on her own terms.
