[Marriage first, love later + sweet, angsty, and satisfying + one-on-one romance]
When Shen Xingyao was desperate, she turned to Jiang Yanchen, the most eligible bachelor in Haicheng.
At the time, he was the most powerful man at a banquet. She used every trick she had, offering herself as a bargaining chip to marry him.
She had always been coolheaded and rational, but she fell for him during their marriage and ended up utterly heartbroken.
When she heard that he was preparing a spectacular fireworks display to celebrate the birthday of his one true love, Shen Xingyao let him go and left with her head held high.
After the divorce, her career flourished. Within just a few years, she became a renowned expert at home and abroad, no longer the unknown young doctor she used to be.
When they meet again, the man who had always treated her with indifference shows up at her door and refuses to leave her alone.
Shen Xingyao says coldly, “Mr. Jiang, please leave, or I'll call the police.”
The man stands in the darkness, his eyes the only thing shining brightly, like a predator watching its prey and waiting for the right moment to strike.
“You used me and then tossed me aside. Dr. Shen, you've really outdone yourself.” He curls his lip and forcefully pulls her into his arms.
“Between us, death is the only way out.”
