[Reckless and arrogant x cool and heartbroken]
[Rekindled love + groveling pursuit of his wife + the powerful one bows his head + both are each other's first and only]
The day she went to the Shen family at eighteen, snowflakes as large as goose feathers were falling from the sky.
Cheng Tingxue sat in a corner as the Shen family looked her up and down, eyeing her designer clothes without a care. “No matter how expensive the clothes are, a cheap person can't change the poverty in her bones.”
“They won't last a year.”
Their words became a prophecy.
At nineteen, Shen Huaian said, “How could I possibly marry her? She's just an orphan. Once I've had my fun, I'll settle down.”
The next day, Cheng Tingxue asked to break up.
His voice turned dangerous. “Say that again!”
Cheng Tingxue said, “I want to break up!”
In the end, he locked her up.
At nineteen, Cheng Tingxue set a fire and fled the place where her heart had been broken.
Cheng Tingxue really was so well-behaved. When Shen Huaian was late for their date, she would just smile and say, “We can skip straight to the ending of the movie.”
Shen Huaian liked how obedient and considerate she was.
Shen Huaian had always been a man of his word. Raised amid wealth and power, he had grown arrogant and unrestrained.
He was a lord who answered to no one.
Then one day, his good girl suddenly asked to break up, set a fire, and ran away.
Shen Huaian searched for her like a madman.
He had fallen in love with his good girl, but she was gone.
At twenty-four, Shen Huaian cornered the girl, his eyes red-rimmed.
“Sweetheart, what am I supposed to do with you?”
“How about I lock you up again?”
