In the Third Year of Hating Her, I Stole a Kiss

With a heart full of sincerity and years of secret affection, Zhaoning finally marries Jiang Zhiyu, her uncle by marriage.

She thinks his coldness is simply awkwardness over their uncle-and-niece relationship. If she takes the initiative and loves him more passionately, surely she can warm his heart.

After the wedding, she casts aside all restraint, pursuing him at every turn and showering him with affection, doing everything she can to win his favor.

But throughout their entire marriage, he remains cold, restrained, and unmoved.

Her enthusiasm runs dry, and her love wears away.

Zhaoning’s heart finally dies. She resolutely hands him the divorce papers and walks away with her head held high.

But the man who once seemed so aloof and untouchable completely loses his composure. Eyes red, he clings to her in desperation, refusing to let go.

Everyone says he is cool and detached. No one knows that his love is a torment and restraint buried deep in his bones, hidden from the light.
