[Marriage first, love later + groveling redemption, happy ending, both leads are each other’s first and only, with a bit of an ensemble cast]
[Shrewd, shameless schemer x sickly, scheming innocent beauty]
Everyone in Beijing’s elite circles loved to gossip about one question: whom would Fu Yanye, the pampered young heir, marry?
He seemed like a womanizer, always surrounded by women. But only An Chuxi knew that this enviable man had always kept the memory of a dead woman in his heart.
A marriage agreement bound them together. He treated her as if she didn’t exist.
His friends teased him, “If you’re willing to bring her home as your wife, she must be someone special!”
Fu Yanye mocked himself. “My wife’s nothing to write home about. You could toss her out on the street and no one would give her a second glance. Other than being no trouble, she’s completely useless.”
But this supposedly useless wife later brought him enormous benefits, so he began to approach her.
She knew from the start what he was after, but still ended up falling helplessly in love with him.
The one who falls in love first has to suffer. It took her a long time to get him to finally say, “Let’s give us a try.”
But a moment of passion could never compare to years of longing. If he didn’t love her, he didn’t love her.
Just one face that resembled someone else was enough to unsettle him and draw him in.
That was when she finally understood. Call her his moonlight or the cinnabar mole on his heart, either way, she could never be the one…
Only when she was in the ICU did Fu Yanye, who had never once bowed his head, kneel outside her room with red eyes, crying out in remorse again and again: “I love you! I love you…”
True love is hard to find, and deep devotion often comes too late. A marriage that began with schemes was bound to bring its reckoning.
Fu Yanye, this time, I’m the one who doesn’t want you anymore…
