[18+ Age Gap] [Older Man, Younger Wife] [Married First, Love Later] [He Chases Her After the Divorce] [Heroine’s Career] [The Hero Is Great at Cooking! Imperfect Characters!] A setup, one reckless night, and she wakes to a chorus of accusations. No one bothers to find out what really happened. Overnight, Wen Yao becomes a sinner beyond forgiveness. As she lies dying, she looks back on a life gone wrong. She has lost her way, with nowhere left to turn. Given another life, Wen Yao stays calm. She no longer bows her head in fear.
