Marriage first, love later | Wealthy-family angst | Regretful husband pursues her | Broken hearts reunited
Pei Yuli was the head of the Pei family, cold-hearted and without attachments.
Yu Hengwu was the heiress of the Yu family and a neurosurgeon who worked on the cutting edge.
A chance encounter, and the sight of Yu Hengwu calmly giving emergency care, threw Pei Yuli’s heart into turmoil.
When they met again at a banquet, she took off her high heels, hiding her exhaustion and cool detachment.
A sudden upheaval in her family, and a marriage arranged for mutual benefit.
He sought her hand to secure a partnership with Yu Pharmaceuticals, while she was forced to marry to protect her family’s business.
Feelings quietly blossomed after the wedding, but misunderstandings followed them like shadows.
Only after she found the letter of commitment did she learn that Pei Yuli had never married her for love.
He assumed she had simply given in and settled, and little by little he distanced himself before leaving for a life abroad.
Yu Hengwu’s disappointment finally reached its limit, and she set out to divorce him. But then she was in a car accident, badly injuring her right hand and making it impossible for her to wield a scalpel again.
She hid her wounds and swallowed her depression. From then on, the world lost its color. Their perspectives began to diverge.
Later, Pei Yuli returned and learned the truth, his heart breaking with regret.
But her heart had long since become forbidden territory he could never enter again.
The sky of love was shrouded in mist, and the sea of resentment had no shore.
From the very beginning, their love was tainted by calculation and compromise. They were never open with each other and never said what they truly felt. All that remained were years of misunderstanding and a redemption that came too late, laden with regret.
The male protagonist probably fell in love with the female protagonist at first sight, and slowly after marriage, like a steady stream, the more he watched, the more he fell in love with her.
