Sole Desire

[Both leads are each other’s one and only + healing + reunion after a long separation + second chance romance + age gap]

When they met again, Jiao Wanning had fallen from grace and become a down-and-out heiress, ostracized by everyone. The man, meanwhile, still shone at the very top of the pyramid, surrounded by a constant stream of dating rumors.

Just as he had five years ago, Pei Ao only did the things lovers did with her, while still refusing to give her a place in his life.

He evaded her. He ignored her. When Jiao Wanning needed him most, he vanished without a trace.

Disappointment after disappointment left Jiao Wanning heartbroken. She walked away for good and never looked back.

When they met again, she already had someone by her side who could give her passionate love.

“You’re too late. I’m married.”

Mr. Pei, usually decisive and ruthless in business, looked almost humble as he pleaded, “You can get a divorce.”

“I’m pregnant.”

Pei Ao’s eyes reddened, his expression almost grief-stricken. “Have the baby. I’ll raise it.”

Pei Ao had been born at the top of the pyramid, with the kind of life countless people envied and longed for.

But no one knew how much he suffered. For more than twenty years, he had been able to survive only with medication.

That is, until one night when he met Jiao Wanning, celebrating her birthday in a princess dress.

The long-parched landscape of Pei Ao’s heart welcomed its first gentle spring rain.

The seeds of love broke through the earth, sprouted, and eventually grew into a towering tree.
