Climbing to the Top on Purpose: The Hong Kong Circle's Little Tyrant Courts Me in Secret and Flirts with Me in the Open

[Scheming second male lead x deliberate secret crush + male lead pursues love and gets his comeuppance x heroine refuses to look back + revenge and tearing them apart!] Turns out, not every crush gets an answer. Ruan Tang spent eight years loving Lu Yici, and finally saw through his coldness. At his birthday party, he defended his unattainable first love and berated Ruan Tang in front of everyone, calling her vicious and telling her to stop deluding herself because he would never love her. Heartbroken, she left. When she appeared again, there was another man by her side. “Who is he!” Lu Yici demanded, his eyes red. The man possessively wrapped an arm around his wife's slender waist and said proudly, “Her husband.” After losing Ruan Tang, Lu Yici was heartbroken. He wanted to win her back, so he stood in the pouring rain on a winter night, waiting desperately in the hope of earning her sympathy. Inside, Qi Yue pressed Ruan Tang against the window and kissed her red lips fiercely. “Miss Ruan Tang, I'm your husband now. Please focus your attention on me.” * This time, Ruan Tang wouldn't put up with Ruan Mei anymore. She would get revenge. She would rip off Ruan Mei's fake white-lotus mask! She would make Ruan Mei pay for all the pain she'd caused her! “Wife, your hand will hurt if you hit her. Let me do it.” The man who adored his wife smiled, then dragged the once-dignified queen of the stage down from her pedestal and turned her into worthless dirt. Someone asked why the mysterious heir to the Qi family was so afraid of his wife. He gave an arrogant snort. “I'm afraid she'll leave me.”
