By the Time My Ex-Husband Regretted It, I Had Already Married His Worst Enemy

Synopsis Lin Xi once thought marrying Gu Yanshen would make her life complete, but three years of marriage drained every bit of love from her. On their anniversary, he came home drunk, calling out the name of his first love. When her mother was having surgery, he missed the consent forms to keep his mistress company. He even secretly transferred a huge sum of money to his first love. Heartbroken, Lin Xi asked for a divorce, but Gu Yanshen sneered that she “couldn’t survive without him” and forced her to leave with nothing. On a rainy night, Lin Xi ran into Lu Chenyuan, Gu Yanshen’s business archenemy. The man rumored to be cold-hearted not only came to her aid, but offered her a job and protected her at every turn in the workplace. He also honestly confessed that he had been watching over her from afar for years. In the warmth and respect Lu Chenyuan showed her, Lin Xi gradually emerged from the gloom and accepted his love. Only then did Gu Yanshen see his first love for who she really was, and realize too late that he had lost the person who truly loved him. He began desperately trying to win Lin Xi back: bringing her breakfast, blocking her way, kneeling in the rain, apologizing on a giant LED screen, and even swallowing his pride to make concessions to Lu Chenyuan. All he got in return was Lin Xi’s cold refusal. Meanwhile, Lu Chenyuan fiercely stood by his wife, setting up a design studio for her, publicly declaring that she was his, and shutting down every rumor, giving her a deep sense of security through his actions. Just as Lin Xi and Lu Chenyuan entered married life and welcomed a new baby, Gu Yanshen’s career went into a steep decline. Yet when Lu Chenyuan ran into trouble, Gu Yanshen chose to put aside their grievances and help him. The emotional tug-of-war between the three grows more intense amid crises of trust and misunderstandings. Caught between her old love and her new one, Lin Xi eventually understands where her heart truly lies. Gu Yanshen finally learns to let go, while Lin Xi and Lu Chenyuan cherish each other even more after weathering the storm, and walk hand in hand toward a lasting, peaceful happiness.
