A three-year marriage of convenience, born from a blind date and doomed by good looks.
Yun Wu is the cool, reserved owner of a teahouse, but in private, he’s a seasoned admirer of handsome men.
The moment he first saw Shu Xun, he fell for him at a glance. Liking his face so much, Yun Wu agreed on the spot to their marriage of convenience and to help him deal with their families.
With his heart full of love at first sight, he tried again and again to confess his feelings, only to be interrupted every time. After repeated failures, he finally buried his feelings for good. He and Shu Xun treated each other with courteous respect, quietly staying by each other’s side for three years.
On the night of their third wedding anniversary, beneath a streetlamp at the entrance to an alley, he saw Shu Xun holding someone else.
Yun Wu neither argued nor made a scene. Without changing expression, he turned and left.
Seeing how coldly Yun Wu acted, Shu Xun tested him several times and became certain he had no real feelings for him. The next day, he handed over divorce papers, and they ended things cleanly.
Only after Yun Wu packed his bags, left for the tea-growing mountains, and cut off all contact did Shu Xun happen to learn that the man had been hiding a secret love for someone for years.
After digging around and making inquiries, the truth hit him like a thunderbolt:
The person Yun Wu had secretly loved for years, the one he had kept in his heart throughout their entire three-year marriage, had been Shu Xun all along.
Every small hint of emotion Yun Wu had let slip over the years was part of a secret love he hadn’t dared to confess.
