In the seventh year of her relationship with Xiao Jingci, his sister returned from abroad after being widowed. He began to lose focus, and his heart began to stray.
After their third failed attempt to register their marriage, Xu Zhiyi decided to give up on the relationship.
Xiao Jingci still blamed her, his gaze cool and detached.
She accused him, “You’re only so sure of yourself because you know I love you.”
He sighed. “Don’t make a scene. I’ll marry you.”
But she no longer wanted to marry him. She had someone else in mind.

Lu Chenye: “Xiao Jingci covets my sister-in-law. I’m stealing his woman, so call it returning the favor.”
Xu Zhiyi: “We’ll see if you can pull it off.”
They began with their own agendas, seeking pleasure without emotional attachment.
Gradually, Lu Chenye became addicted and wanted more.
Later, when they married, everyone thought Xu Zhiyi had married above her station.
Only Lu Chenye knew that he was the one who had been desperate to claim her all along.
Super nice to look at [admiration]
