[Reunion after years apart, rekindled love, angsty romance, aloof high-flier brought down from his pedestal, regretful pursuit]
[Cool and restrained at first, then brooding, possessive, and powerful: a man with double standards vs. a beautiful, sharp-edged woman]
In the fourth year of the cold war following Wen Er and Xie Yin's marriage, Xie Yin returned to the country with the woman he cherished most.
Everyone was certain they would divorce. Even Wen Er thought so.
But the pressure from her husband's family, the weakness of her own family, and the burden of carrying on the family line left her struggling to breathe.
Wen Er knew that only by giving birth to an heir to the Xie family could she escape this cage.
Yet all her repeated compromises earned her nothing but Xie Yin's cold indifference.
Eventually, she grew tired and finally handed him the divorce papers.
Xie Yin refused to sign them.
He used the prospect of having children to keep her in line, stringing her along with their charade and coaxing her into falling for him, while letting the woman he cherished bully and torment her.
His friends asked why he couldn't let go of the past.
Xie Yin smiled. “It's just a bit of fun.”
But everyone had forgotten that Xie Yin had risked his life to win their seven years together.
Later, Xie Zhibai woke up... and Wen Er found herself with twins.
Pinned into a cramped corner, the man pleaded, his eyes bloodshot. “Marry me again. I'll raise the kids. I'll even be their stepdad!”
Wen Er teased, “Just a bit of fun?”
Xie Yin dropped to his knees in earnest. “Yes. Have your fun with me!”
