Mr. Shen Ruined Everything Early On, Then Regretted It for the Rest of His Life

[The hero’s groveling redemption / both leads are each other’s first and only / divorce reality show / ordinary heroine, not in show business] [Cool, resilient guzheng beauty × sharp-tongued, devoted heir to a wealthy family] There’s a rumor among Jingzhou’s wealthy circles that Shen Peisi is having an affair with a big star. They were childhood sweethearts, the story goes, and have always been in love. His marriage to another woman was just a way to clear up the scandal. Wen Yisong is the “other woman” they talk about. She believes Shen Peisi loves her, and, nourished by his care, her once withered soul gradually grows full and tender again. Until, at a celebration banquet, she hears him admit with his own lips, “People in love always have to go through a few trials.” In that moment, he breaks the soul of Wen Yisong, the very thing he had nurtured and helped grow. * On a divorce reality show, the guests play Truth or Dare. One asks him, “Who here do you love the most?” He answers, “The most beautiful one.” As everyone starts arguing over who’s the prettiest, the big star joins in: “Brother Peisi, who do you think is prettier, Teacher Tao or Sister Yisong?” He looks at her with a roguish, flirtatious smile. “Neither of them is as pretty as you.” ＊ Everyone knows that Lin Xintian is Shen Peisi’s childhood sweetheart, the top-tier star his company is pushing, and the celebrity he spent a fortune creating. Everyone is waiting for them to divorce, eager to laugh at Wen Yisong. But one day, a video starts circulating online. A woman sits on a sofa, cold as ice. A man kneels before her, eyes red as he begs, “Wen Yisong, please don’t leave.”
