[Marriage first, love later + reunion after a long separation + both leads are virgins + secret crush + pregnant heroine runs away + husband chases his wife to win her back + both leads are virgins]
Her boyfriend of six years got married, but Bai Wusong wasn't the bride. Her best friend dragged her to a bar to drown her sorrows.
After one night of passion, she came away with an impossibly handsome husband.
With her ex relentlessly pestering her on one side and her tall, handsome husband on the other, Bai Wusong decisively chose the latter.

Having a husband who used to be a gigolo really was something else.
He could do everything: laundry, cooking, and cleaning.
Bai Wusong looked around the spotless house in disbelief. “You cleaned all this?”
Xie Xingzhi smirked. “Mm-hmm. So, can I ‘do’ it?”
“…”
She tried to change the subject. “You said you can cook, didn't you?”
“Good timing. I'm hungry.”
Xie Xingzhi raised an eyebrow. “Don't rush. I'll cook right away and fill you up.”

On New Year's Eve, fireworks blazed outside, dazzling and bright as they lit up the entire sky. But they couldn't brighten Bai Wusong's dull, lifeless eyes.
“Didn't you want an answer? Fine, I'll give you one.”
“Xie Xingzhi, close your eyes.”
As the fireworks boomed one after another, at the height of their happiness, Xie Xingzhi opened his eyes and saw his beloved kissing someone else.

Another New Year's Eve arrived. Xie Xingzhi had humbled himself to the dirt, his reddened eyes brimming with tears.
“Please,”
“Please forgive me this once.”
“I'll repay you for everything I owe, even if it costs me my life.”
