Synopsis: Wealthy CEO | Modern romance | Marriage first, love later | Bittersweet pursuit of his wife | Sweet romance and putting scoundrels in their place
The woman she loved married someone else, while the woman he loved left for a faraway land.
A blind date bound two hearts, both long since dead, in marriage.
On their wedding night, they slept with their backs to each other. In public, they treated each other with polite respect.
He helped her solve one problem after another, and she stayed by his side through one low point after another.
She thought two wounded hearts could gradually draw closer.
Until his old flame returned and asked him with tearful eyes, “If I hadn't left back then, would you still have married her?”
In the few seconds he remained silent, she finally understood:
Their polite respect wasn't love, just courtesy. The home she'd imagined was only a temporary shelter for him.
She signed the divorce papers and walked away with dignity:
“When the sun was setting, you weren't there for me. Now that you're rising again, who are you to me?
But I stood by you through the sunset, and now that you're rising again, your heart belongs to someone else.”
Later, her old flame came back too, while his old flame wouldn't let go.
For the first time, he set aside his pride and frantically searched for her, only to see her smiling warmly beside another man.
The lofty CEO's eyes reddened. “Come home with me.”
She gently withdrew her hand. “Mr. Fu, you were the one who let me go first.”
An old flame's return is a trial; realizing your feelings too late is the punishment.
This time, he would be the one to beg humbly, and she would be the one to turn away without looking back.
But when the truth came out, it turned out he had fallen for her long ago and simply hadn't dared admit it. She hadn't stopped loving him either, but she no longer dared to trust him.
Marriage first, love later, with a bittersweet push and pull, a groveling pursuit, a sour beginning, and a blissfully sweet ending.
