Marriage first, love later + double cleansing + growing up + secret love coming true + chasing his wife in the crematorium (bright and brave vs. Tolerant and restrained)
Of all the desires in the world, lust is the most alluring and the most difficult to control.
Xia Yuxi's life motto is that brave people enjoy the world first. However, when her marriage to Gu Liyuan only lasted for one year and ended in divorce, she realized that marrying him was not about bravery, but because sex made her stupid.
She tried to make this mechanized man fall in love with her, but the end result was that he married her, which was all for the sake of establishing a character from the beginning.
Only then did she understand this marriage where desire came first and love came later. She was the one who had desire first, and she was the one who fell in love first, but he had never loved before. So she chose divorce without hesitation.
It wasn't until Gu Liyuan wrote her a thousand-word letter later, and it wasn't until her favorite rose bloomed in his heart that Xia Yuxi realized that he was the first to fall in love with this relationship, and he was the first to fall into it.
"Xia Yuxi, if I had known that I would love you so much now, I should have told you that I like you when I first saw you."
