The Black Lotus Chasing His Wife Is Still Begging for Forgiveness Today

[Clearheaded, broken female stewardess × charming, fickle, multiple-personality young master]

[Both leads have exes. If that bothers you, please move along.]

[Reader advisory: The male lead is a scumbag with charm early on, then goes through hell trying to win her back. When he’s happy, he’s clingy and sweet; when things don’t go his way, he turns into a sinister, gloomy menace.]

Chen Yu spent her life calculating every move, but failed to account for Xiao Huaichuan, the one variable she hadn’t anticipated.

He gave her a bone-etching jade pendant, took a sword for her, and said “I love you” with red-rimmed eyes beneath a sky full of stars.

Until the day she heard him joking with someone else: “I’m not done playing yet.”

Later, when the Heartburning Gu took effect, she laughed through a mouthful of blood and asked, “Young Master Xiao, have you had enough of your game?”

But he panicked and knelt in the snow, calling her “Big Sister” over and over.

Xiao Huaichuan thought it was all just a game.

He watched her get afflicted with the Heartburning Gu, waiting to see her suffer.

What he didn’t realize was that, somewhere along the way...

Her frown made his heart tremble, and her tears sent him into a panic.

He watched her spit blood as she pried his fingers off hers one by one. The almond-shaped eyes that had once toyed with people’s hearts were bloodshot. “Chen Yu! Just try leaving me!”

When news of Chen Yu’s death reached him,

The once carefree, pleasure-loving young master of the Xiao family frantically searched for signs that she was still alive. In the end, he knelt before her empty coffin and personally transferred the Heartburning Gu into his own body.
