[Angsty heroine, satisfying revenge, first love, clear-headed heroine, groveling ex, age gap]
Fu Yanhuai was a chaste snow lotus, fit only to be admired from afar and never defiled.
I was born a beauty, and my father worried some delinquent would set his sights on me.
So he got Fu Yanhuai, the man every woman in the capital wanted to marry, drunk.
After it happened, he used their friendship to pressure Fu Yanhuai into marrying me. He wanted me to pluck that chaste flower.
I thought he would surely refuse.
But Fu Yanhuai agreed.
For three years of marriage, he never acknowledged me as his wife.
We treated each other with distant courtesy.
I always thought he was simply frigid, until I saw how he doted on the woman he had always loved.
So all that coldness was because his heart belonged to her.
Heartbroken, I decisively filed for divorce and walked away without a fuss.
But he did a complete about-face and became a devoted husband.
“Honey, curfew is at nine tonight. I’m already home waiting for you.”
