Both are each other’s only one + the husband’s regret comes too late
Radiant, outspoken heiress × restrained, proper, ice-cold man
After five years of marriage, Song Libai had tried everything to win Gu Yanbai’s heart, but he was always unfazed.
So she did her best to follow the Gu family’s three thousand rules, changing until she was no longer herself, all to become a worthy Gu daughter-in-law.
Then she discovered that there would always be a place in Gu Yanbai’s heart for his unattainable first love, even though that woman had become his sister-in-law.
He had insisted on marrying her only for the sake of his sister-in-law, the woman he loved.
Heartbroken, Song Libai moved out of their home and asked for a divorce.
Born with a silver spoon in his mouth, Gu Yanbai was one of the most powerful men in Jingbei. Restrained and proper, elegant and composed, he never lost his cool, and he had never regretted anything.
Except one thing.
He could never forget the sight of her, eyes red, telling him through her tears that she wanted a divorce.
Five years after their divorce, they met again.
Song Libai returned to Jingbei with a whole new identity, surrounded by plenty of young men.
Everyone thought Gu Yanbai had moved on. Song Libai was simply his ex-wife, a thing of the past.
But someone saw the usually dignified Gu Yanbai, eyes bloodshot, humbling himself before a woman as he rasped, “Baibai, I regret it.”
Song Libai held up the ring on her left hand. “Mr. Gu, please show some respect.”
Gu Yanbai knew his comeuppance had finally arrived.
Sigh, it seems like they're whitewashing the male lead later on.
She remained chaste for the male lead for five years; the female lead deserved to be tortured.
