[Divorce + father and son’s regret and redemption + second male lead takes the lead + the unattainable first love]
During their six years of marriage, Gu Yanting treated her with tenderness and care, and Su Mian was once completely swept up in his affection.
But then, after a night of drinking, she heard him call out his older sister’s name.
Only then did she realize that a love built on lies could not withstand a single blow.
Her older sister was a dazzling heiress, a pearl among women.
And she was nothing but an unpresentable substitute in everyone’s eyes, disliked by her parents and unloved by her husband.
Even her own son looked down on her background, embarrassed to have her as his mother.
Everyone said she wasn’t good enough for Gu Yanting, but he had been the one to pursue her. What had she done wrong?
Su Mian’s heart turned completely cold, and she threw the divorce papers in front of him.
He signed without hesitation and said harshly, “Let’s see who’ll want you once you’ve left me!”
Su Mian walked away without looking back.
Later, when Gu Yanting saw Su Mian walk onto the awards stage hand in hand with his sworn rival, he finally understood just how badly he had been wrong.
He had pushed someone who once loved him deeply farther and farther away.
After the awards ceremony, Su Mian became a sought-after architectural designer, and rumors of her impending marriage were everywhere.
In a private residential compound, he knelt with their son, eyes bloodshot, begging her to forgive him.
“Mom, I was wrong. Please don’t leave me...”
“Mianmian, I’m sorry. Could you give me one more chance?”
