After Marrying the Man I Love Most

Yuan Yao had loved Lu Yixing for ten years. Then their families arranged a business marriage, and she finally got to marry him.

Lu Yixing used to treat her like a little sister, always calling her "kid."

After they married, he treated her like an enemy and called her "Ms. Yuan."

Lu Yixing always kept a photograph in his drawer. It was a picture of the woman he had always loved.

He had stayed unmarried all those years, waiting for her. Yuan Yao had put an end to that hope, so she became his enemy.

The first time Yuan Yao saw things clearly, she felt that the past ten years had been a joke.

She left their wedding rings and divorce papers behind, then disappeared.

Lu Yixing had once thought the kid would always be there. Then one day, he came home and saw the wedding ring and divorce papers.

Suddenly, his heart ached.

Lately, the socialites of the capital have had quite a show to watch. Lu Yixing, who used to be the one Yuan Yao chased after, is now chasing after her.

Yuan Yao coolly brushed away the man's hand. "Mr. Lu, please behave yourself. We're divorced."

Lu Yixing's eyes reddened. "A-Yao, I haven't signed the divorce papers. Can we start over?"

Most people are like this. When you throw yourself at them, they keep their distance. Once you've walked away, they come crawling after you.

They are both virgins physically, but not emotionally.

Love Grows Weary, Arrives Too Late

Most people in this world are like this. When you love them wholeheartedly, they treat you like dirt. When you start treating them like idiots, they fall in love with you wholeheartedly.

Gu Yi loved Xue Juan for twelve whole years. She chased after him with a smile, wrote him love letters, and made him suits. Sadly, Xue Juan never looked her way, and she became a well-known joke among the upper class.

Somewhere along the way, the world changed, and Xue Juan began chasing after Gu Yi.

When the Gu family's business ran into trouble, Xue Juan even spent five billion to save it, with just one condition: Gu Yi had to marry him.

After they married, Gu Yi told Xue Juan coldly, "For five billion, all you get is this sour face of mine. Look at it if you want, or get lost if you don't."

Xue Juan pinched the bridge of his nose, looking sorrowful. "Xiao Yi, can't we start over?"

Gu Yi looked at him impassively, as if he'd told a joke. Pointing to the scar on her back, she asked, "When you gave up on me, did you ever imagine this day would come?"

No one knew that she'd once succeeded in winning Xue Juan's heart. Twelve years of effort had earned her twelve months with him.

Then a fire reduced it all to ashes.

That day, she barely survived. She called his name. He saw her, but still turned away and chose the woman he had always loved.

Her love for him had ended right then and there.

The Gu Yi who had blindly loved Xue Juan had died in that fire long ago.

As for the Gu Yi of today, her heart is made of stone, and she only wants to love herself.
