(Scumbag's Pursuit of His Wife and Comeuppance + Male Lead Forcefully Steals Her Heart + Secret Love Comes True)
With the wedding approaching, Shen Cilan cheats.
Shi Xingyao tests him step by step, witnessing the truth: his heart has changed.
He tells her he loves her while planning an engagement party with another woman.
After accumulating enough disappointment, she no longer wants to marry him.
When their agreement expires, she leaves him, but he uses dirty tactics to force her to stay by his side, even wanting her to be his secret mistress.
Shi Xingyao keeps her feelings buried and pretends she knows nothing.
Later.
He holds an engagement party with his beloved mistress, while she puts on a wedding dress and marries his older brother.
That day, Shen Cilan's eyes turn red. He abandons his fiancée and bursts into her wedding like a madman, begging, "Yaoyao, I was wrong. Can we please not break up?"
Lu Qingchi shoves him away. "Shen Cilan, she's your sister-in-law. Don't call her that."
-
Lu Qingchi returns after five years abroad and immediately finds Shi Xingyao in a sorry state.
He gave Shen Cilan a chance, but since Shen doesn't know how to cherish her, Lu can only take her for himself and protect her.
At a banquet, she gets drunk and accidentally falls into his arms. He leans close and murmurs in her ear, "Your boyfriend's watching you. Are you sure you want to be so… brazen?"
-
On their wedding night, Shen Cilan pounds on the door outside the bridal suite.
"Xingyao, don't let Lu Qingchi fool you. He doesn't like you at all. He's hiding a white moonlight he can never have in his heart."
Shi Xingyao pauses, then pushes away the handsome man leaning drunkenly over her and asks curiously, "Lu Qingchi, is what he said true?"
The man curls his lips,
I wrote half of it and ran away.
