The wife-chasing-from-hell trope × bittersweet push and pull × married first, love later
A cool CEO who knows how to guide his partner vs. a sweet, meek heiress with a tender heart
Su Jiaoyang always knew that Fu Jingyu had a former girlfriend he loved but could never have, his unattainable first love.
But she still married him.
Her parents' demands, family interests, a marriage of convenience, and seven years of secret love.
Sure enough, on their wedding night, Fu Jingyu went to the maternity ward with his first love.
Su Jiaoyang was heartbroken, but as long as Fu Jingyu kept transferring money to her, she would obediently turn a blind eye, no matter how much it hurt, and help him care for his paralyzed mother.
After all, with neither parent showing her much love, she firmly believed in one thing:
[Money is what you love most. It comes first for you. How could I ever come before it?]
That is, until his illegitimate child poisoned her, and Fu Jingyu tried to force her to acknowledge the child as her own and make him the heir to the family business.
She dug her nails into her thigh in fury:
No way! I'm taking the money and running!
Fu Jingyu realized his wife was selling her wedding ring, but by then it was too late.
He pulled every string he could, only to hear one thing: “Madam is dead.”
In the winter of their third year apart, he was tricked by a rival while searching for her, trapped in a Siberian blizzard, and lost in the wilderness.
Under the warmth of a leather tent, the woman drank to her heart's content and refused to let him in. “I hope you freeze to death!”
He stood by the entrance, meek and obedient, like a naive college boy. “Freezing to death sounds nice. I deserve to freeze.”
As she drifted in and out of sleep, he kissed the back of her hand. “Give me the cold shoulder one more time, Jiaoyang.”
The woman pretending to sleep felt tears dampen the corners of her eyes.
