Synopsis

[Rekindled love + reunion after a long separation + both leads have only been with each other]

Yun Mingyang never expected to see Li Chengyan again, six years after they broke up, and even after she’d married and had a child.

Six years ago, Li Chengyan vanished without a word, only to reappear as the heir to a wealthy family who was already engaged. At the time, she thought their relationship had probably just been a game to him.

After breaking up with him, she married someone else in a whirlwind wedding while pregnant and had a child.

After six years apart, Mingyang only wants to draw a clear line between them and go on with her quiet, ordinary life.

But her husband cheats, his mistress taunts her while pregnant, and one marital crisis after another keeps cropping up. Li Chengyan also keeps appearing around her, witnessing every misfortune in her marriage.

“Yun Mingyang.” After watching the mistress corner her step by step, Li Chengyan asks from behind her, his expression unreadable. “Even after all this, you still haven’t thought about getting divorced?”

She lowers her head, hiding every thought. “Our marriage is none of an outsider’s business.”

He storms off in anger, but not long afterward he corners her by the door and asks, “I’m not married. Do you still want to be with me?”

No one knows that even after they broke up, Yun Mingyang continued loving Li Chengyan for six years. He’s like a knife buried in her heart. It hurts to leave it there, but pulling it out would hurt even more.

She no longer wants to get involved in Li Chengyan’s mess. Even after her divorce, she’d rather go on blind dates with other people than stay anywhere near him.

Somehow, he finds out about her blind date. After scheming to ruin it, he even tosses her a stack of paternity test results. “Who are you planning to marry while carrying my child?”

She doesn’t understand. He was the one who walked away first, so why does it feel as though she’s the one who betrayed him...

Looking for Long-Awaited Reunions and Reconciliation, Preferably Starting from Their Reunion

Begging for Angst-Ridden Romance

I've read too many sweet stories, and now they're starting to make me feel sick. I want an angsty story that's both sweet and heartbreaking, but not cloyingly sweet or relentlessly tragic. The leads should have reasons for both their sweet moments and their painful ones. I don't want angst for angst's sake or sweetness for sweetness's sake.

Please Recommend Workplace Romance Novels

Looking for books like Private Kiss in Spring. I'd never read this kind of story before, but lately I couldn't find any more quick transmigration or historical-era novels, so I tried workplace romance and marriage fiction. It turned out to be amazing, both sweet and angsty. I've decided workplace romance and marriage fiction is the best!
