[A talkative, scheming, take-charge woman wants a divorce; a cool-headed, steady, humble man pursues his wife through hell. One-on-one.]
Qiao Qingli finally married Fu Qieci, the heir to the Fu family, whom she had admired for years. But after their wedding, she learned that he didn’t love her at all.
For three years of marriage, he spent most of his time overseas, focused on his career. Even when he came home on the rare occasion, he stayed by his younger sister’s side and never cared about Qiao Qingli’s feelings.
When she miscarried and fell down the stairs, Fu Qieci brushed it aside. But when his sister merely scraped her hand, he carried her to the hospital on New Year’s Eve.
Qiao Qingli took off her wedding ring, signed the divorce papers, and decided to end this one-sided marriage herself.
Fu Qieci refused to agree. He clung to her like a vengeful ghost, humbling himself to beg, “Qingli, I love you.”
Qiao Qingli said, “You don’t love me at all. You’re doing this for yourself. You only married me to avoid the trouble of a business-arranged marriage.”
Unable to overcome her resolve, Fu Qieci had no choice but to agree to honor their divorce agreement three months later. In the meantime, he did everything he could to win her back, often climbing over the wall in the middle of the night just to see her.
The man, always composed and noble, knelt by her bed, the corners of his eyes bloodshot and his voice hoarse. “Qingli, let’s not get divorced. Give me one more chance, okay?”
