(Fair-skinned, curvy painter ✘ aloof, restrained research genius; marriage first, love later; win her back; sweet romance)
After Si Yao falls into the water, she clings to Fu Jinqiao, a capital-born research talent sent down to the countryside, and makes him her man.
By day, Fu Jinqiao is aloof and refined. By night, he burns with such desire that he leaves her aching and weak-kneed, unable to get off the kang.
But the day after he returns to the city, Si Yao hits her head, and a book appears in her mind. It turns out Fu Jinqiao is the male lead of a novel set in a bygone era, while she is the expendable ex-wife he married in the countryside!
Not long after he returns to the city, she follows him to the research institute’s family compound in the capital. Her in-laws and sister-in-law dislike her; she’s lazy, greedy, and constantly making trouble. In the end, she chokes to death after snatching a child’s candy, making way for him and the female lead, the girl everyone sees as his one true love!
Her only purpose is to make the leads seem like a perfect match with a blissful marriage.
Si Yao: ??? Why stay married just to be someone else’s stepping stone?
When the national college entrance exams are reinstated, she uses her art-school retest as an excuse, takes her divorce referral letter, and heads straight for the capital.
But after three months apart, when they meet again, the man’s gaze is thick with possessiveness. Today he brings her his stipend and all kinds of ration coupons; tomorrow, a brand-new watch and fabric.
One day, he corners her in the studio, pins her to the wall, and kisses her so fiercely she can barely catch her breath.
Half-dazed, she remembers the divorce. The man grips her slender waist and pulls her into his arms, his voice low and hoarse. “Divorce? Yaoyao, that’s not going to happen.”
