Newlywed, Old Flame

[Divorce first, love later / rekindled love / spoiled princess × devoted househusband / HE]

Shi Li and Shen Yue have been married for six years.

For six years, he has catered to her every whim.

The only time he ever went against her was when he was absolutely determined to divorce her.

The night before they were due to get their divorce certificate,

Shi Li was pinned against the wall and kissed until her legs went weak.

Neither of them could bear to let go, but he insisted on mocking her,

“See? You can't live without me.”

The man bites her shoulder, tears falling onto her collarbone,

as hot as his breath, thick with desire.

When her ex-husband returns to the country after succeeding as an entrepreneur, Shi Li is busy running for her life.

A friend jokes, “You were married, after all. What if he still has feelings for you?”

Shi Li shakes her head vigorously. “He's definitely back to get even with me.”

Only then does her friend remember that Miss Shi is a heartless, notorious playgirl.

Shen Yue dutifully spent six years as her live-in husband,

but she never gave him a second glance.

Her rumored affair with a top male star, constantly trending online, was just business as usual.

-

At a business dinner, they reunite after five years apart.

Her successful ex-husband is now the client.

She could lose her life, but she can't lose face.

When they meet after the dinner,

Shi Li says, ready to face death, “Kill me or do whatever you want.”

But the man's response is a long, passionate kiss.

“We're divorced, not out of love. What are you talking about?”

–

After they remarry, Shi Li accidentally overhears Shen Yue chatting with a friend.

He says, “I stand right beside her, but she can't see me.

I have to rise very high,

high enough that she has no choice but to look up at me.

But when I finally reach the top, I realize

that bowing my head to her will always come naturally.”
