[Mending a Broken Relationship + Brooding, Cunning Fox of a Male Lead + The Male Lead's Entire Family Is Obsessive and Unhinged + Chasing His Wife + Scumbag Regrets Everything + Happy Ending] (Alternates between flashbacks and the present, told in reverse order)
During her six years abroad, Mu Weiwei did two things.
First: she had a son with her ex-boyfriend.
Second: she entered into a contract marriage with a powerful older man. They lived together but slept separately, and each had someone else they couldn't forget.
When she returns to the country, Shen Zhi is now in control of a conglomerate, while she has become mute.
After she dumped him all those years ago, he treats her with cold detachment when they meet again.
"Miss Mu, what makes you think I'd fall for you all over again?"
But when he hears that she is married with a child and is about to leave the country again, he completely loses control.
He imprisons her, claims her day and night, and takes her everywhere.
Heartbroken and falling apart, he has no idea the child is his.
Later, when the older man confirms his feelings and proposes in a grand, once-in-a-century ceremony, Shen Zhi's remaining reason crumbles. He crashes the wedding, threatens and tempts her with every kind of inducement, and even pretends to be sick to seduce her...
"Mu Weiwei, if you dare leave, I'll dare to die."
-
Back then, neither of them had pure intentions when they approached the other. Both were masters of disguise.
She played the innocent, silly sweetheart, while he played the gentle boy-next-door.
In the end, they smile at each other. "Even without our masks, I love you."

As a teenager, Mu Weiwei only wanted to climb the social ladder and marry a rich man.
While everyone else buried themselves in schoolwork, she studied how to act sweet and adorable and win a man's heart.
So she would get beaten less, have enough to eat, and, most of all, clear her wrongfully deceased parents' names.
Her first target: Shen Zhi.
Though she lived under someone else's roof back then, she had the best friends in the world.
A gang of punks: some with no parents, some unloved by their fathers and mothers, and some left behind in the countryside...
Give yourself a good review, don't pass by if you miss it, it's beautiful👀
So pretty! I can't get enough of it. The male protagonist's sense of dampness and sinisterness is very satisfying 😢. The only drawback is that it's being serialized. The author, please give it a try!
