[Female lead has had no other partners, male lead has; two childhood friends; civilized rivalry for her; sweet romance with plenty of push and pull]
After Xia Yuxi married Lu Zhixu,
Lu Zhixu returned to the country with the woman he had always cherished.
To help her adjust to life back home, Lu Zhixu bought her a house and a car, and prepared a golden cage to keep her in.
At a party celebrating her return, Lu Zhixu told his friends, “I only married Xia Yuxi because I felt sorry for her.”
*
Xia Yuxi was not someone to pity.
The Xia family was filthy rich, and she was the apple of her father's, mother's, and brother's eyes.
The man her family set her up with was a gorgeous childhood friend.
One was a wealthy, steady, cool-headed CEO;
the other, a rising star in politics, gentle and devoted at home.
She could take her pick.
Xia Yuxi couldn't decide. All she wanted to say to these toxic relationships was: all in!
*
Xia Yuxi wasn't pitiful, just unlucky.
Her character and story had been twisted into a brutal novel about a man's desperate pursuit of his wife.
The good news: she was the heroine.
The bad news: the heroine was tortured to death.
In the vicious plot, she died during a trip to the snowy mountains after pursuing the male lead, Lu Zhixu.
Her childhood friends fought the plot to save her. One died in a plane crash, while the other developed a dissociative disorder.
*
After she awakened, Xia Yuxi ignored Lu Zhixu and treated him with indifference.
When Lu Zhixu discovered there was another man in her life, he went mad with jealousy and clung to her.
On a rainy night, he knelt before her and pleaded pathetically, “If you like other men, you can fool around with them. But you can't abandon me.”
A huge black umbrella covered them, raindrops pounding against its surface.
Huo Lianqiao held the umbrella and pulled Xia Yuxi into his arms. His voice was cool and detached. “Even as the other man, you wouldn't make the cut.”
