A good ex should be as good as dead.
He was dead, but eight years later, he came back from the grave.
Then he started pulling all kinds of stunts, cornering her in an elevator. "Be good and say my name, and I'll let you go."
Song Mian sneered. "Sorry, my memory's bad after giving birth. What was your name again, Zhou...?"

Zhou Xingyu's love for Song Mian was eight years late.
He thought she'd finally gotten her wish and married her childhood sweetheart, and that they were living happily ever after.
He wouldn't offer his blessing, bother her, or ask after her.
But when they met again one day and she fell into his arms, he could no longer hold himself back.
Whether she was married, had children, or loved someone else,
he wanted to make her his and his alone.
[Reunion after a long separation + rekindled love + mutual unrequited love + groveling to win back his wife + devoted protection]
A word of caution: everyday-life focused, slow burn, bittersweet push and pull. If you like high-conflict, fast-paced stories, this isn't for you.
