[Rekindled romance + two powerful leads with secret identities + bickering couple]
The male lead seems aloof, but he’s actually childish too. He just lets it show around Wen Yuyou. Whenever the heroine makes him angry, he manages to soothe himself again.
The night they meet again, he thinks he’s seeing another hallucination.
Jiang Wang has spent three years searching for Wen Yuyou, nearly driving himself insane. The woman who promised to spend the rest of her life with him vanished without a trace on graduation day.
Then, at a hotel, she approaches him, drunk, clinging to him and kissing him. Three years’ worth of restraint snaps completely. He thinks, This time, even if I have to imprison her, I’ll keep her by my side.
He locks her in a villa and wounds her in the cruelest way. “My fiancée is afraid of pain. The child you give birth to will be registered under her name.”
“Could you not find anyone else, or… do you simply not want anyone else to?”
Jiang Wang calls it imprisonment, but really, he just wants to keep her by his side. He gives Wen Yuyou whatever she wants, and you could say she lives quite comfortably every day.
“Wen Yuyou, why don’t you love me anymore?”
“Jiang Wang, I’m the one who wronged you.”
But later, he discovers that the “caged bird” he imagined is in a conference room, using a sharpness he has never seen from her before to leave his team utterly speechless.
The characters of the male and female protagonists are very well portrayed. I haven't encountered such a writing style that suits my liking for a long time. It's so well written 😘😘
