When Bone-Deep Devotion Is Misplaced

In her previous life, Su Wanli spent fifteen years in a marriage with Gu Yanchen that was a marriage in name only. He said their union had been a mistake from the start, that he felt nothing for her but the affection one has for a sister, and he wouldn’t even show up in person to sign the divorce papers. Reborn, Su Wanli finally saw the truth. She took the initiative to end their engagement, determined to sever her unreturned feelings for him and go back to being his sister, without loving him at all.

After breaking off the engagement, Su Wanli focused on herself and flourished in her career. Gradually, outstanding men appeared in her life: the refined and courteous Shen Muyao, and the romantic, carefree Fu Yunzheng. They both pursued her passionately. But when Gu Yanchen saw one person after another by Su Wanli’s side, while she remained icy toward him and refused to give him even the slightest chance, he finally came to his senses and was consumed by endless regret and despair.

When Su Wanli announced her engagement with Shen Muyao’s arm in hers, Gu Yanchen’s world came crashing down. His eyes bloodshot, he demanded, “Wanli, how am I worse than them? Why won’t you give me even one chance?” Su Wanli merely replied calmly, “Yanchen, we’re siblings. I could fall in love with anyone, but never you.” Driven to desperation, all Gu Yanchen could do was beg pathetically. “Wanli, leave him, or I’ll go and die...” Can this belated regret win back Su Wanli’s heart, long since turned cold? And among all her suitors, will Su Wanli choose the happiness she deserves?
