Young Master Ai’s Road to Winning His Wife Back

Ai Yunting [Yongqi] was aloof and distant, like a flower atop a mountain. Xiao Ziyun [Xiaoyanzi] was spirited and clever, like the warm sunshine of spring. Their fates became intertwined because of their families. They should have been a match made in heaven, but a series of misunderstandings drove them apart. At first, Ai Yunting thought little of their marriage. His heart was set on his country and his ambitions, and he believed romance was merely a small embellishment in life. After they married, he treated Xiao Ziyun coldly, often losing himself in his own affairs and paying no heed to her joys and sorrows. Xiao Ziyun, meanwhile, entered the marriage full of hope, only to be met with endless neglect and loneliness. She tried to get close to him, preparing meals with care and silently keeping him company when he was tired. Yet Ai Yunting always responded with indifference, and sometimes even resented her for "bothering" him. As the years passed, the love in Xiao Ziyun's heart slowly wore away through countless nights of being ignored. She stopped expecting a response from Ai Yunting and turned her attention elsewhere, discussing poetry and painting with friends or wandering alone among the mountains and rivers. Her smile remained bright, but Ai Yunting was no longer reflected in it. Meanwhile, after a series of upheavals and setbacks, Ai Yunting found that success in his career brought him none of the satisfaction he had expected. Looking back, he finally realized how good Xiao Ziyun had been and discovered that he had fallen for her without even knowing it. The woman who had silently devoted herself to him, whose tenderness he had so casually ignored, had become the most precious and yet unreachable person in his heart.
