After Xiao Ke was born, Liu Guang's family, due to Liu Bingying having a girl, was not only displeased but even treated Liu Bingying with greater disdain. The severe patriarchal thinking left Liu Bingying feeling as though she had fallen onto ice. One time, after getting drunk, Liu Guang hit Liu Bingying, and even cruelly threw the barely one-month-old Xiao Ke onto the ground.
Seeing no hope in life, Liu Bingying finally decided to divorce. She was willing to leave with nothing, as long as she could divorce Liu Guang and only keep her child.
Upon hearing that Liu Bingying wanted nothing but the child, Liu Guang's family quickly agreed to the divorce. Thus, Liu Bingying left the marriage empty-handed, taking care of Xiao Ke by herself. This marriage had cast a huge shadow on her psyche, and she never sought another partner again, focusing solely on work and looking after Xiao Ke.
