But during the cooling-off period: the man who never came home started returning every day. And every day he dressed up like a peacock. In the kitchen, the man was learning to cook, making a racket. He even took it upon himself to get her favorite Samoyed puppy. She watched quietly. When the cooling-off period ended, the man was either sick or had an urgent business trip. Li Man looked at the repeatedly postponed divorce date: ? Finally, the day arrived when there were no excuses. Everyone thought Lu Jiushu loved someone else, but he had only ever been in love with one person. The strongest king lost miserably. Lu Jiushu, the second son of the Lu family, was gentle and polite to the outside, but in reality, he was mean, cold, selfish, and dark. In his eyes, Li Man was greedy for wealth and status, empty-headed, and utterly inept at all arts and crafts. She was vulgar and utterly unworthy of respect. Her mere pretense was not worth cherishing. That's why he was ultimately heartbroken.

    The male lead is sharp-tongued and cunning, while the female lead is aloof and unattainable. She's an exceptionally skilled ophthalmologist. They've been married for three years, followed by three years of cold war. To the male lead's friends, she's a joke. When the three-year period ends, she turns and leaves, only then does the male lead realize how much he loves her – a classic case of a "wife-chasing-after-the-cremation" scenario!

In reality, he was indifferent and carefree by nature. When Jiang Wan was 16, her father entrusted her to his care, and he doted on her. She had always secretly loved him. On the day she impulsively confessed her feelings, he gently rejected her, saying, "Jiang Jiang, you're still young. You can't distinguish between dependence and love. You should like someone your own age who resonates with you." Later, mistakenly believing she had a boyfriend, he went berserk, his eyes red and his voice hoarse, "Jiang Jiang, break up with him."
