Black-hearted male lead
The heroine will leave the male lead. There are twists.
Su Xingxing is a high school Chinese teacher, and her husband is a university professor.
Su Xingxing is 21, while Liang Yuze is 29. She confessed to him first, thinking she was just one utterly ordinary student among the countless ones he taught. She never expected her long-standing crush to finally go somewhere. In less than six months, they were married.
Su Xingxing thought her husband was perfect. He never lost his temper easily and always gave in to her. The only thing was, he didn’t seem to love her very much.
But Su Xingxing was already satisfied. She wanted a child, too. With that as the spark, a series of events finally drove their marriage to the breaking point.
Six years of marriage still couldn’t win her the kind of deep affection he showed his first love.
Not long after the divorce, Liang Yuze seemed unwilling to let her go.
And so began his long road to winning back his wife.
