Synopsis

1v1, devoted to each other | The second male lead wins her heart | He pursues her after losing her

Cool, reserved painter × roguishly handsome retired officer

Wen Zhiyue loved Jiang Xingzhi for seven whole years.

After her grandfather suddenly passed away, she was left with no one to rely on. He gently took her hand.

His words, "Your big brother will give you a home," became the only salvation in her bleak youth.

She kept all her love hidden in her heart, never speaking of it, silently staying by his side.

She always believed that if she were good enough and held on long enough, one day she could stand openly at his side.

But a diary was discovered, exposing the secret love she had hidden for years.

She summoned all her courage to confess her feelings, only to receive a cold engagement invitation and his ruthless declaration that they should keep their distance.

"Yuanyuan, you will always be my little sister."

On a night of torrential rain, her heart turned to ashes.

She burned the diary, cast away every memory tied to him, and severed her attachment. She never looked back.

Five years later, renowned painter Wen Zhiyue quietly returned to the country, already accompanied by the man she loved.

Zong Yan was a roguishly handsome rich playboy in the eyes of the world, unruly and frivolous.

With her alone, he set aside his every ounce of arrogance and gave her all the love he had to offer.

He had seen her fall apart in the rain, had caught her through every moment of fear and unease, and slowly pieced together her wounded heart.

Everyone laughed at him for being careless, absurd, and good for nothing, but no one knew he had spent half his fortune to ensure her life would be peaceful and safe, year after year.

Once again, torrential rain came pouring down.

Jiang Xingzhi stood in her way, stripped of all his former pride, his eyes red as he begged her to stay.

Wen Zhiyue stood quietly beneath her umbrella, her expression cool and her voice calm.

"Second Brother, I'm getting married."

A Real “Chasing His Wife to the Crematorium” Story

I want a genuine groveling redemption story, with the redemption arc kept concise. The wife should suffer for no more than fifty chapters, followed by the man suffering. Not the kind where the male lead simply indulges in self-pity, stands in the rain, and pesters her endlessly. I want something substantive. Male-female romance only! Male-female romance!! Male-female romance!!!

Looking for a Handsome, Rebellious, Carefree Male Lead Who Makes You Feel Safe

The character should be something like a cocky, handsome rogue: playful and a little devious, but with a good sense of boundaries and extremely reliable. Nick Wilde is a good example. Either BG or BL is fine, but please label which it is. P.S. The plot should be fast-paced and gripping.

A True Redemption Arc for the Male Lead: They Don’t Get Back Together, and the Female Lead Sees Everything Clearly

If you're going to make it angsty, make it heartbreaking and physically brutal, taken to the extreme, with no forgiveness ever. Don't give me fake, half-hearted angst for the male lead. And don't give me scenes where the male lead is about to die after saving someone, while the female lead sobs beside him, saying, “Wake up, don't die, I forgive you.” Ugh... I hope someone gets it.

I really love the female lead's decisiveness and strong character. She's not the indecisive type; she confronts the female supporting character directly in public when she causes trouble, which is incredibly satisfying. Not only is the second male lead protecting her, but she also protects her fiancé, and the couple's relationship is so sweet.

May this young couple be happy forever! 💕 Both of you are the type to speak your mind and not hold grudges. The female lead is a complete bittersweet character; she must have put in a lot of effort to successfully return to China… After all, she was forced to leave in a sorry state, how could she not harbor resentment? 😢 The author also mentioned rehabilitation and other similar plot points…

It's very good! The author arranged it well, weaving in events from before, unlike other stories with lots of abuse and the female lead having few good days. In this one, the female lead already has a second male lead after returning to China (this second male lead is actually the female lead's official love interest, but the author's main plot revolves around Jiang, who is the male lead, and…

The story begins with the female lead having been with the male lead (or, if we're talking about the second male lead who rose to power) for several years, and their relationship is going very well. The author doesn't dwell on many painful memories; many authors of this type of story love to write about the female lead's past grievances, taking up a large portion of the narrative, which nobody…

It's really good, not melodramatic at all. The female lead is decisive and doesn't let past kindness make her soft-hearted. She cuts ties cleanly and doesn't cling on. She's incredibly proactive in getting back what's hers. The male and female leads are a sweet and reassuring couple. Sigh, I just finished praising him, but I really don't understand the latest plot. Why the cold war?

I love this kind of up-and-coming storyline! May this sweet couple continue to be this sweet forever! 😆🥰🥰🥰

Overall, it's a good watch. Why are those three female supporting characters so relentlessly targeting the female lead? They subject her to mindless humiliation, insults, and slander every time they see her, and they're still on screen for so long! The second male lead is also a classic case of villainy; you could say he's responsible for everything the female lead suffers.

Wow, this is so well-written!!! I've been suffering from a reading slump for ages, and this is the only book I've been able to get into in the past month!!! The content is excellent, the plot is fast-paced, it's so good and I love reading it, please update soon! I only use my phone once every two weeks at school, and when I get home I just want to enjoy a delicious meal! 😘 [Got it]
