To save her family's company, Wen Xi married Bo Xingchuan as soon as she turned eighteen.
Their marriage was arranged by a will. As long as they stayed together for three years, Bo Xingchuan would be able to inherit the estate.
But Bo Xingchuan looked down on Wen Xi.
He thought Wen Xi came from an ordinary background and was dull and boring. For three years of marriage, they always slept in separate rooms. Bo Xingchuan even found it disgusting when Wen Xi touched him.
Once the three years were up, he could finally get rid of the wife who annoyed him, claim his inheritance, and openly pursue the person he had loved for years.
He thought Wen Xi would cry and beg him to stay. But from the moment they signed the papers until the divorce was finalized, Wen Xi never once tried to cling to him the way he had expected.

Bo Yingshen was the eldest son of the Bo family, and the older brother Bo Xingchuan had respected most since childhood.
The first time he saw Wen Xi was at a crowded airport.
The timid young man held up an arrival sign. Pale and slender, he was so beautiful it was hard to look away, yet he seemed too nervous even to meet a stranger's eyes.
Later, Bo Yingshen saw his younger brother push Wen Xi to the ground. He saw Wen Xi crying in humiliation, curled up and trembling on the floor of a room.
At first, Bo Yingshen only wanted to fulfill his duty as an older brother.
But the longer they spent together, the less willing he was to see Wen Xi look at anyone else.
Even if that person was Wen Xi's husband in name.
He began to look forward to the end of the three-year term more than anyone.
Once that marriage was over, his younger brother's ex-wife would become his wife.

After the divorce, Bo Xingchuan started desperately trying to win Wen Xi back.
He waited outside Wen Xi's workplace and downstairs from his home, saying over and over that he regretted everything. He even brought out a newly drafted agreement, promising to give Wen Xi everything.
He was certain that if he was sincere enough, Wen Xi would soften just as he used to.
Until he returned to the old Bo family home and saw the ex-wife he had once despised sitting beside his older brother.
Wen Xi's complexion was rosy, and his eyes and brows were gentle. He no longer stammered with nervousness.
His once pale, timid ex-wife had blossomed into someone so vivid and beautiful. The wedding ring on his ring finger gleamed, his soft waist held firmly in Bo Yingshen's arms as he tilted his face up to receive the man's repeated kisses.
Bo Xingchuan trembled all over.
"What are you two doing?!"
Furious, he stepped forward. "Big brother, I'm the one who's his, "
"Ex-husband," Bo Yingshen interrupted coldly.
Bo Xingchuan's face turned deathly pale.
"When you see your sister-in-law, greet her."
