[Forced relationship + angst before sweetness + the wife-chasing crematorium + clever heroine + devoted to each other + happy ending]
A young master driven mad after his unrequited love was stolen by his scheming friend, now determined to win her back through careful plotting and relentless pursuit after their reunion x a detached woman who failed to get a divorce, faked her death to start over, and is focused on making money
Lin Cishu thought Lu Jingxu paraded beautiful women in front of her every day to force her into a divorce.
She demanded twenty million, but he refused to give her a single cent.
When she gave up asking for money, he went even crazier and resorted to coercion.
With no other choice, she faked an accidental disappearance.
But after she vanished, the playboy CEO started pretending to be devoted to her every day?
All she wanted to say was: Get out of the way, you drama queen. You’re getting in the way of my career.

When they reunited, she had a new identity:
She was cold. “Do I know you?”
He smiled. “I’ve been on plenty of newspaper front pages.”
He persisted. “Our Lu Group has a few things going for it. Why not consider me?”
Playing at having fake identities:
Someone teased him, “That look in your eyes is incredible. You look at her like she’s your girlfriend!”
She hurried to deny it. “Don’t make things up. He has a wife.”
Back to their real identities, they kept playing their roles:
By day, they bickered and talked about divorce. “A spoiled young master like Lu is perfect for you to entertain. I’m not interested.”
By night, he only wanted to kiss and cuddle with his wife. “Were you jealous, darling? So you still care about me after all.”

He kissed her fiercely inside the closet. Footsteps stopped right outside the door, and she froze in fear.
Limp in his arms, she whispered, “Are you insane? That was so dangerous!”
He curled his lips. “What are you afraid of? But you liked it, didn’t you?”

The heroine has the upper hand emotionally. There’s a little angst before she fakes her death, followed by sweet romance afterward.
