“Not for female-lead loyalists, readers who want an impeccably devoted male lead, or sensitive readers. Instinctive attraction + the broken relationship won't be mended + the second male lead gets the girl.”
For ten years, from school through her career, Song Shiyu loved Chen Yue in secret and gave him everything. She drove away his admirers, handled company crises, and waited for him for a decade, only to learn he planned to marry someone else.
She finally came to her senses, handed in her resignation, and turned to a powerful tech mogul, embarking on a life of effortless success.
Later, Chen Yue regretted everything.
Eyes bloodshot, he cornered her downstairs and pleaded, “Shiyu, will you come back to me?”
A cool reply came from behind him as soon as the words left his mouth. “Mr. Chen, have some self-respect. My wife is married.”
