Marriage First, Love Later × The Heroine’s Pursuit × Face-Slapping Love Triangle × Three Men, One Show
The day her family treated her as a pawn and shoved her into a bridal sedan, Zhuang Wan clenched the silver needles hidden in her sleeve. Everyone said the eldest young master of the Bai family, Bai Yi, was a living corpse. Yet behind the bed curtains, she saw those eagle-sharp eyes, clear and alert. This marriage meant to bring him good fortune was a scheme laid by the groom himself.
When the act turned into real love, she gave him her heart, only to be hurt until she bled. Her childhood sweetheart, her first love, publicly exposed fabricated evidence that she was “unchaste,” while Bai Yi’s gaze, cold as a wintry pool, reflected her shattered image. Zhuang Wan tore off her phoenix crown and hurled it onto the flagstones. “I, Zhuang Wan, never give my true heart away twice.”
Years later, at the academy, Zhuang Wan returned from studying abroad with a mysterious, wealthy young gentleman devotedly by her side, a reformed second male lead, and her former husband, the aloof beauty who had come down from his pedestal. As Bai Yi watched his former wife smiling like a flower, he finally learned the truth: the supposed betrayal had been a vicious plot hatched by his closest kin and her first love. When he finally broke his pride and knelt in the rain, he saw someone in a dark alley holding a bamboo umbrella over her. It was the mysterious, wealthy young gentleman who had always stood quietly by Zhuang Wan’s side, now tenderly brushing the snow from her brow.
“Mr. Bai, isn’t it a little late to kneel and beg my wife to come back?” the man beneath the bamboo umbrella chuckled.
