After I Ran Away, My Scumbag Ex Begged Me to Get Back Together

[A cold, short-tempered CEO who turns into a devoted puppy and chases his wife × a seemingly sweet, soft-hearted actor with a wild side and Oscar-worthy acting]

Sweet romance and a wife-chasing redemption arc can go hand in hand.

Shen Zhu is a born money-lover, carefree and unrestrained, and the runaway illegitimate son of a nouveau riche family. He was brought back into the family as a pawn for a political marriage when he came of age.

Su Xingque is ill-tempered and aloof. As the youngest person ever to become the richest man in S City, he cares only about profit, not love.

When they first meet, Su Xingque bluntly tells Shen Zhu that he isn’t his ideal partner.

The previous night, Shen Zhu had been making money at a nightclub. Now, with his pretty face and a pitiful expression, he says, “I’ll do my best to become the kind of person Mr. Su likes.”

Become the kind of person Su Xingque likes, then make a fortune through their marriage!

Shen Zhu adds silently.

Shen Zhu, who craves both money and a handsome man, works hard to disguise himself as the pure, unattainable first love of Su Xingque’s legend.

Even if a scumbag mistreats him a thousand times, he’ll still treat him like his first love!

A few months later, Shen Zhu realizes he may have succeeded.

Su Xingque spoils him in every way: feeding him at mealtimes, carrying him when they walk, and kissing him so often every day that Shen Zhu is bound to lose his temper.

Later, Shen Zhu realizes he was the one who’d been fooled.

He thought he was getting rich off Su Xingque, but in truth, Su Xingque was exploiting a certain ability of his that had never been discovered before...
