[Peak Clear-Headedness x Wild, Devoted Hound | Let Him Regret It Until He’s Ashes]
After nine years as a substitute, she wakes up, dumps the jerk, focuses on her career, and finds true love.
Fang Youyao gave nine years of her youth to Shen Liang, accompanying him from obscurity to becoming a rising star in his industry. She was his most capable partner and his most “understanding” fiancée, yet in his eyes she was also a “boring” compromise and a “replacement” he chose to commemorate the woman he could never forget.
Only when she saw him tenderly coaxing another girl who resembled that “one true love” even more, and heard him confess his true “bachelor-for-life” beliefs after drinking, did she finally realize:
These nine years had been a one-woman show, all in her own head.
It took only an instant for her heart to die. Fang Youyao calmly removed her engagement ring, settled the shares, and walked away without hesitation.
She didn’t want a love story with a bad ending. She wanted a brilliant future.
Shen Liang was certain she wouldn’t leave.
After all, she had once turned down an offer in Silicon Valley for him and stayed up with him through countless late nights.
He waited for her to swallow her hurt like she always did, then obediently come back.
Instead, all he got was a clearly itemized dissolution agreement and a casual “Goodbye.”
Later, he saw the woman who had once quietly supported him from behind standing at the pinnacle of their industry, shining brilliantly.
And beside her stood the wild, untamable “delivery guy” he had once scorned.
The man had just won an international championship. He set his trophy aside and focused only on carefully wiping the rainwater from the tips of her shoes.
Shen Liang’s eyes finally reddened. He begged hoarsely, “Yaoyao, I was wrong…”
Fang Youyao glanced back, her smile never reaching her eyes. “Mr. Shen, move. You’re blocking my fiancé.”
