Blurb:
When Chen Shumo decided to marry Xu Yanjin, she knew he didn't love her.
Though those around her pleaded with her to reconsider, and every sign indirectly proved it, Chen Shumo stubbornly believed that one day she would take the place of the person in his heart and grow old by his side.
In the third month of their marriage, Chen Shumo received an international call at home from someone who didn't give their name.
The next day, she learned that Xu Yanjin had gone to Europe alone.
Not long afterward, gossip about the president of the Xu Group reached Chen Shumo through a friend.
The man in the pictures, thoughtfully holding an umbrella over another woman, was her husband. The woman beside him looked exactly like the one in the photo he kept in his wallet.
She was Xu Yanjin's true love, the unattainable white moonlight in his heart.
Only then did Chen Shumo realize that no matter what she did, she would always be an outsider to him.

Once she saw the truth, Chen Shumo had a lawyer draft a divorce agreement and deliver it to the president's office at the Xu Group.
She thought they would part on good terms, but when she returned home, she found Xu Yanjin, who had been away for a long time, sitting on the sofa in the main room. Right in front of her, he tore up the agreement.
Chen Shumo was terribly upset, but her delicate fists couldn't hurt a man at all.
Instead, Xu Yanjin grabbed both her hands, wrapped an arm around her waist, and pulled her into his embrace.
Her face flushed with embarrassment. The most she could manage was, "Xu Yanjin, you shameless man."
But the next moment, his gaze made her heart flutter.
It was the first time she'd heard this man, who had always held himself above everyone else, speak so humbly. Xu Yanjin softened his voice, almost pleading: "I can explain what you saw online."
"As for the divorce, could you reconsider?"
-
Xu Yanjin had to admit that the moment he received the divorce agreement, an unprecedented fear surged through him.
In this marriage that should never have begun, at some point...
The love he'd been suppressing slipped out of control. He'd fallen for her.
