    On the day Meng Qiong returned from her business trip to Sydney, her plane nearly crashed, and the news trended high on social media. But when she rushed home, still shaken, she found her husband, Shen Fengxi, intimately entangled with a new intern at the station in the living room. The girl, startled by Meng Qiong's appearance, jumped up, but Shen Fengxi blamed Meng Qiong for frightening her. At that moment, Meng Qiong decided to end their seven-year relationship and three-year marriage. Shen Fengxi took the divorce papers from Meng Qiong, frowned slightly, and asked, "Just say what you want. I don't have time for this." Meng Qiong replied, "I don't want anything, I just want Youyou." Convinced that Meng Qiong couldn't live without him, Shen Fengxi signed the divorce papers with a flourish. He never expected that the woman he had loved for so many years, gentle and submissive, would be whispering intimately with another man under a streetlamp. Shen Fengxi was heartbroken and devastated. He resorted to any means necessary—feigning weakness, playing the victim, even sabotaging his rival—just to get her to look at him again. Meng Qiong questioned him, asking where his principles and boundaries had gone. Shen Fengxi's voice seemed to hang on a wire: "I don't want it anymore. As long as I can stay by your side, I don't want anything else."

    ① It's an extremely angsty novel, but what's infuriating is that I feel the female lead is the one who suffers the most. She didn't come back to life; she really died. It made my lungs ache with anger. I only kept reading because I wanted to see the male lead get his comeuppance.
