1.
Li Yang's life was sharply divided into two parts. Before marriage, she was domineering and spoiled, able to throw her weight around, and many people hated her. After marriage, she gave up her former life to cook and keep house, then disappeared from public view for years. When she made the news again, it was because her husband had cheated on her.
The divorce case became a major spectacle. Her ex-husband was fully prepared and hired Yue Chennian's legal team at great expense. Lawyer Yue had an unbroken record of victories.
Years ago, he had been interviewed as the top scorer in the college entrance exam. His school uniform was faded, but it couldn't hide his handsome features. When asked about his future plans, he answered methodically, earning him the nickname "ultimate hot nerd" from online media outlets.
A few years later, he appeared on a law firm reality show. A glimpse of his profile won him countless fans, and his glittering resume was impeccable from start to finish.
Li Yang had neither money nor connections. She was bound to lose.

Outside the mediation hearing, Li Yang looked exhausted, her eyes red-rimmed as she shivered in the cold wind. The lawyer standing beside her had elegant, aloof features, and his long black coat made him seem even more severe, like a demon from the underworld.
It was Yue Chennian.
Microphones surged toward them like a tide. Yue Chennian gently raised his long, elegant fingers to hold them back and nodded politely. "Ms. Li is unwell. I'll speak to the press on her behalf today."
"There seems to be a misunderstanding. I've always been Ms. Li's exclusive attorney."
Beside him, Li Yang trembled slightly, her eyes seeming to brim with tears. She looked exhausted and fragile, and her knees nearly buckled.
Yue Chennian reacted instantly, steadying her arm with gentlemanly courtesy.
Every reporter present was moved. Lawyer Yue really was righteous and kind.
Only Li Yang could hear his warning. His voice was very low, and he angled his face to hide his lips as he taunted her: "Ms. Li, the night before your next hearing, I'll be gentler."
"Want me to turn it off?"
"Then you'd better listen to me."

His smile was flawless, just like the boy in a school uniform five years ago.
The cigarette tip glowed scarlet, and Yue Chennian stood up, resting his distinctively knuckled fingers against her forehead. "Miss, times have changed. You can't afford to buy me anymore."
In the attic, silent for years, dust drifted down as Yue Chennian licked the red teardrop-shaped mole beneath her eye. "What are you upset about? When you tormented and abandoned me back then, did I cry?"
"I don't want to force you."
"Now come over and kiss me, and I'll let it go."
-
Li Yang's life was full of upheavals. She was sharp-edged and didn't know how to rein herself in. Many people hated her, and many pitied her.
And Yue Chennian loved her.
For many years.
Yue Chennian thought silently that there was nothing he could do about it.
