[Elite Romance + Marriage Before Love + A Deranged Tycoon Stealing Her Away + Ex-Husband’s Attempts to Win Her Back End in Failure + No Reconciliation After the Breakup + A Tug-of-War in a Love Triangle]
Su Su married Pei Zhan, the man she had secretly loved for years, and spent two years in a marriage utterly devoid of warmth.
Unable to stand watching her suffer, her best friend found her a relationship counselor to teach her how to win her husband over.
Through a twist of fate, Lu Yanli, the tycoon of Shencheng, showed up in someone else’s place.
Gentle and attentive, he patiently untangled her fears and taught her, step by step, how to express her feelings.
With his guidance, Su Su and Pei Zhan grew closer for a little while.
But, little by little, the way Lu Yanli looked at her crossed a line.
At last, he dropped all pretenses and confessed to the feelings he had been plotting to reveal for a long time:
“My goal was never to bring you two together. It was to break you apart.”
“Stop wasting your effort trying to please Pei Zhan. I’ll be the one to make your heart flutter.”
In public, Lu Yanli is gentle and considerate, patiently guiding Su Su and teaching her to act cute and let herself be vulnerable. In private, he secretly fans the flames of conflict, quietly driving a wedge between her and Pei Zhan.
He creates tension, magnifies every instance of Pei Zhan’s coldness, then draws her in with a tenderness reserved just for her, gradually breaking through her defenses.
Su Su falls for him again and again, and a strange new feeling quietly takes root in her heart.
Only belatedly does Pei Zhan recognize his own feelings. He comes to his senses and begins humbly trying to win her back, doing everything he can to make up for having neglected her.
But Lu Yanli has already filled Su Su’s heart with joy. She will never turn back to their shattered past.
Lu Yanli holds her close and shoots a taunting look at the ex-husband who regrets everything:
“The woman you failed to cherish is mine now. I’m taking her, and I’ll never give her back.”
