My Childhood Sweetheart Ran from Our Wedding, but His Cousin Won’t Back Down

[Reunion After Years Apart + Married Life + Long-Planned Romance + Second Male Lead’s Regret]

Lou Mingji and Fu Yi grew up together. But on the day of their engagement, he abandoned her for another woman.

The Fu family apologized and suggested choosing another auspicious day, but she refused.

As they reached an impasse, Fu Yi’s cousin He Fuqing appeared. He was from the He family of Hong Kong, had made his own way in the world for seven years, and was now successful, well-connected, and in possession of cutting-edge technology.
