Male protagonist's perspective:
Shen Liao fell for a girl while scrolling through his social media feed.
Every day, what he looked forward to most was opening the feed to look for photos of her.
Her adorable moments over meals, her carefree travels, her poised appearance at parties, and the tenderness she showed when she was with another man.
That's right, the girl he loved married his good friend.
Xu Yanheng stole his wife from him.
Xu Yanheng already had someone he loved, so why did he have to steal Shen Liao's wife too?
Once Xu Yanheng's beloved returned from abroad, Shen Liao would be able to bring his wife home.
Unfortunately, that woman was hopelessly bad at her studies and kept failing her courses. To help her graduate, he spared no expense in hiring several top tutors for her, and she finally made it back to China in time.
Sure enough, the moment she returned, Xu Yanheng's attention was completely taken by her. He didn't even remember there was someone waiting at home.
Wonderful. He could finally bring the person he loved home.

Female protagonist's perspective:
To fulfill her grandfather's dying wish, Zhu Xingyu married Xu Yanheng.
On their wedding day, Xu Yanheng's beloved left the country in sorrow, and from then on, Xu Yanheng hated Zhu Xingyu to the core.
But so what? She didn't care.
In public, they played the loving couple. In private, they couldn't even be bothered to look at each other.
At last, one day, Xu Yanheng's beloved made a grand return, and Zhu Xingyu could finally leave him.
With the help of Shen Liao, Xu Yanheng's friend, she escaped the Xu household, only to fall into a trap Shen Liao had carefully laid for her.
Even before the divorce, Shen Liao had always stood up for her and helped her. After the divorce, he took even more meticulous care of her.
Fine, a trap is a trap. She might as well lie down and rest in it for a while.
