[Marriage First, Love Later + Sweet Romance]
Lin Yuehe left the countryside to move to the city and live with her son. She spent her entire life’s savings buying him a home and helping him start a family, giving him everything she had. She thought she would be able to enjoy a peaceful old age.
Then she accidentally overheard her daughter-in-law disparaging and resenting her.
Not wanting to put her son in a difficult position, she had no choice but to move out.
By chance, she had once saved an elderly woman who had fainted. Grateful for her kindness, the woman introduced Lin Yuehe to her middle-aged son, who had never married.
The man was quiet and steady, and supposedly worked repairing air conditioners.
They hit it off when they met, so they went straight to the registry office and got married.
Nobody approved of their marriage. Her daughter-in-law looked down on her, and everyone laughed that she had married beneath herself.
After the wedding, her husband was aloof and suggested that they live in separate rooms.
She accepted sensibly, expecting a plain married life of mutual respect.
But as the days passed, the iceberg gradually melted. The man had fallen deeply for her, and his heart was full of her.
To her surprise, whenever she ran into a problem, he could solve it with ease.
Whenever she pressed him for an explanation, he always said it was a coincidence.
Then one day, she accidentally saw her humble, steady repairman husband in a bespoke suit, elegant and stern, standing onstage at a press conference before a dazzled crowd. He was the city’s wealthiest man, with its entire economy in his hands.
The shocking contrast left Lin Yuehe fainting on the spot.
When she woke, she thought it over from every angle and calmly asked for a divorce:
“You’re far above me in status. I’m not worthy of you. We’re not right for each other.”
The usually aloof, dignified tycoon, who had never once lowered his head, fell to his knees before her in front of everyone, his eyes reddening:
“Wife, please give me one more chance!”
