A sickly beauty who pouts in every possible way x an abstinent, paternal man with schemes upon schemes
[Past and Present] [Reborn] [System] [Supporting Female Character] [Faking Her Death] [Sweet and Angsty] [Both Chaste] [One-on-One Romance]
Yao He is the frail, short-lived ex-wife in a CEO romance novel.
After being bound to a life-extension System, she is told that the more Feng Huaiyi hates her, the longer she’ll live.
To stay alive, Yao He tries her hardest to play the hated wife.
But things don’t go as planned. The man’s eyes grow darker and more feverish with each passing day.
At the end of her mission, Yao He successfully fakes her death and escapes, planning to travel the world and enjoy the rest of her life.
Halfway through a skydive, the System’s piercing alarm suddenly blares:
[Warning! The original male lead, Feng Huaiyi, is preparing to commit suicide! Host, return immediately and save him!]
Everyone says Feng Huaiyi doesn’t like Yao He.
But only he knows that whenever he sees her frail and suffering, unbearable pain grips his heart.
On the day Yao He “dies,” Feng Huaiyi conceals the news from the public and carries on with work and social engagements as usual.
The servants privately marvel: The master really must hate his wife. Why else wouldn’t he shed a single tear?
Until one day, he brings a woman back and locks her on the third floor of the villa.
While cleaning, a servant catches sight of her face and is so startled that a vase crashes to the floor. It’s clearly the mistress, who died long ago!
-
No one knows what happened in their past life.
As Yao He lies dying, Feng Huaiyi begs the Supreme Deity to save her, only to be told that he has a destined lover of his own.
He defies fate, taking one step and one kowtow at a time. He kneels and bows 999 times, weeping blood, asking only for a brief return to life for her.
Beneath the dim lights, Yao He leans against his shoulder and murmurs, “A Yi, let’s live well in our next life.”
-
Fate tests them again and again, only to see whether a heart will remain true.
