[A cool, decisive heroine, a top-tier maternal acting talent, and a scheming, highly intelligent male lead who always puts psychological warfare first]
Yu Yue thinks that since the Ye family gave her a chance to “live again,” she has to turn the Pei family upside down. Who knew she’d be put in her place on her very first day as a bride?
Her groom never came home on their wedding night. So who was the person lying beside her, playing along?
“Why did you marry into the Pei family?”
Faced with the cold question from the person playing along with her, she gave a faint, enigmatic smile, still looking gentle and frail. “Of course, for you.”
“Don’t give me that.”
Pei Zhao had imagined all sorts of ways they might meet again. He’d naturally assumed he would keep his wits about him.
He’d managed on his own for three years. How could he possibly fall for the same person again?
But he never imagined that when they met again, she would mistake him for her new husband.
“We were only using each other. Don’t act like a victim and make it seem as if there were real feelings between us.”
A simple sentence, yet when someone’s defenses crumble, it can make their chest feel as though it’s being pierced and shattered.
“We only crossed paths a few times at the Pei residence, and that was because I mistook you for someone else. We weren’t even using each other.”
A hint of disdain flashed in Yu Yue’s eyes, followed by a cold laugh. “If Mr. Pei insists on treating the benefit you got from my mistake as a fleeting affair, then I have nothing to say.”
Pei Zhao had been calm, but at that, his eyes narrowed slightly. “Didn’t you say you married into the Pei family for me?”
“I was messing with you. You believed me?”
“I didn’t. But I wouldn’t mind if it were true.”
The moment the blade leaves its sheath, sun and moon shine together. No wind, no rain, only honesty between two people. [Both leads are devoted to each other + character reversals]
