(Resilient, adorable heroine x domineering, disabled, icy male lead; mutual firsts; a little angst early on, but he actually pampers her)
After her fiance betrays her, she walks into a bar and orders the strongest drink they have.
"Find me a man..." With red-rimmed eyes, she slaps a card on the table. "The hottest one, the best quality. I can afford him!"
The next time they meet is in their marital home.
He sits in a wheelchair, two little ones at his back, his eyes cold as knives.
She freezes. This is the man she slept with last night.
Rumor has it he controls the economic lifeline of Country S and holds countless lives in his hands.
Rumor has it his legs are disabled and he's been ruined for good. It's not that he avoids women; he simply can't perform.
She accepts her fate. By day, she's stepmother to two children, taking them to and from school, cooking, doing laundry, putting them to bed, and helping them study. She has to do it all.
At night, she has to deal with this man as cold as ice.
Rumor has it he's been ruined for good, but no one told her...
A ruined man is most dangerous when he goes crazy.
At last, she can't take it anymore and leaves the divorce papers on his bedside table.
On the day they divorce, he signs briskly without even looking up.
Everyone says President Shen has finally dumped that woman who didn't know her place.
But no one knows...
That night, he sits alone in a room without her and doesn't sleep a wink.
The day after the divorce, he investigates her every move.
Seven days after the divorce, he corners her with the two little ones. Each wraps around one of her legs, calling out in their babyish voices, "Mommy, come home."
He looks up at her, madness restrained in his eyes, his voice so hoarse it's almost unrecognizable:
"I tore up the divorce papers. I brought the reconciliation papers."
"You're signing them, whether you like it or not. If you don't..."
"I'll camp outside your door every night."
