Falling Into Ruin

[Long-planned schemes + Marriage First, Love Later + Age Gap + Devoted Love] [A Beautiful, Contradictory Novelist × An Abstinent, Scheming Lawyer] When Shi Yueyun was twenty, she married Xu Tingshu. In the year and more since their wedding, they have seen each other only a handful of times. To her dismay, even while Xu Tingshu is away on business, he still manages to keep her firmly in line. Xu Tingshu will always remember getting a call from the police station asking him to come pick up his wife the day after he returned from a business trip abroad. “Tingshu, I'm sorry!” The moment he arrived at the station, his wife bowed to him at a perfect ninety-degree angle. Xu Tingshu was exasperated, but his voice was helpless. “I'm not your ancestor. Why are you bowing to me?” Later, when Shi Yueyun became a famous author, she couldn't help remembering the two things Xu Tingshu had said most often back then. “Whatever you want to do, go ahead and do it. I'll be here.” “There isn't a throne to inherit at home, so you don't have to force yourself to do things you don't like.” Tingshu, thank you. Because of you, I stopped being afraid when I was at my lowest, and found the courage to keep moving forward.
