She Lost Heart and Asked for a Divorce. Her Ex Knelt and Begged Forgiveness

[He Chases His Wife to the Crematorium · Bad Ending · The Clear-Headed Heroine Never Looks Back] (A story of repaying a debt of gratitude)

Jiang Yanli is a powerful business tycoon who can turn the tide of the corporate world with a wave of his hand. He is also the man Ning Xiyan has been fixated on for ten years, ever since her youth.

Ten years ago, a fire claimed the lives of Lin Nianyao's parents, who gave their lives to save him.

With his dying breath, Lin Nianyao's father told Jiang Yanli, “Take good care of Nianyao.”

Because of this, Jiang Yanli took Lin Nianyao into his home. In the end, his grandmother came to like Ning Xiyan.

To make his grandmother happy, he married Ning Xiyan, but gave all his tenderness to Lin Nianyao.

When Ning Xiyan suffered menstrual cramps or fainted in the middle of the night, he ignored her, tending only to Lin Nianyao as she coquettishly played the victim. He repeatedly accused his wife of being unreasonable.

Watching the light in her eyes go out completely, Ning Xiyan calmly handed him the divorce papers.

Jiang Yanli panicked. He revealed the truth about the fire, hoping to win her back, but all he got in return was, “Why should I pay for your guilt?”

He severed his ties with Lin Nianyao and humbled himself to pursue his wife, but someone whose heart has died can hardly turn back.

With Wen Jingran's companionship and respect, Ning Xiyan found a new beginning.

In the end, Ning Xiyan walked down the aisle with Wen Jingran and found happiness.

At her wedding, Jiang Yanli pleaded with red-rimmed eyes:

“Xiyan, can't you give me one more chance?”

All he received was her unyielding retreating figure.

He spent the rest of his life alone, consumed by endless regret and a promise to the dead. Only then did he understand that repaying a debt of gratitude was never a reason to hurt the person you love. But that realization came far too late.
