[Reunion after years apart + groveling to win back his wife + powerful man humbled by love + devoted 1v1]
Shen Miao had no idea her new husband was in love with someone else.
At twenty, Shen Miao married Gu Jichen, heir to one of the most powerful families in Jing City.
In their first year of marriage, Gu Jichen treated her wonderfully. When she said she wanted to see the northern lights, he immediately put aside a deal worth hundreds of billions and took her all the way to Tromso.
In their second year of marriage, she discovered that her husband had someone he loved.
The day the Shen family fell into trouble, he was vacationing on a cruise ship with the woman he loved.
Everyone watched her and wondered when the Gu family would kick her out.
When they saw each other again, four years had passed.
Gu Jichen blocked her outside the women’s restroom and asked in a low, husky voice, “What, going to pretend you don’t know me again?”
“If you’re sick, go see a doctor. Don’t stand here acting crazy!”
They parted on bad terms.
But as her son Ruirui began to look more and more like a certain someone, she started to panic.

“You want to divorce me so you can live happily ever after with him?”
“You want to be my sister-in-law? Not a chance!”
She was tired of explaining. Some things just weren’t worth explaining over and over.
She had thought she’d never have anything to do with him again, since she was the third party in their relationship. (Not really.)
But he kept showing up in front of her again and again.
Like a stubborn plaster, he just wouldn’t come off.
Until he learned the truth.
Until he found out he had a son...
“He’s my son?”
“No!”

The first time Gu Jichen got drunk, he cried in Shen Miao’s arms for a whole day and night.
“Miaomiao, is there really nothing for me in your heart? Not even a little...”
“Miaomiao, look at me. Please don’t leave me.”
Is this right? It's over?
