[Love Triangle Drama / The Second Male Lead Wins / The Ex-Husband Regrets It Too Late]
After a year of marriage, Wen Ran discovers that her husband, Gu Jingshen, has been emotionally unfaithful. The other woman is the one he has always longed for, his unattainable first love.
Wen Ran had a crush on him when she was young. Despite the vast gulf between them, she thought that if she just held on to her brave, wholehearted love, she would eventually see the clouds part. Instead, she fell from a great height and hit rock bottom.
Everyone thinks she loves him too much to leave. Everyone thinks she'll put up with it.
Even Gu Jingshen thinks so.
So when she leaves, he assumes she's just throwing a tantrum and doesn't stop her.
The day Wen Ran leaves, the rain falls on a bitterly cold night.
She sees the rich playboy who is also a master orthopedic surgeon and Gu Jingshen's friend, standing by a car with an umbrella.
Rain drips from the edge of the umbrella. He speaks, crossing the line between them.
"Come with me."
Wen Ran looks up in surprise.
Lu Qiaoye steps forward, wraps an arm around her shoulders, and pulls her against his chest. He gives a mocking laugh.
"What does a buddy even matter? I'm the one who's fallen for you."

After the divorce, everyone assumes Gu Jingshen will marry his first love, while Wen Ran, thrown out with nothing, is destined for a miserable, wretched life.
But the one wasting away is Gu Jingshen.
At last, Gu Jingshen admits that he's the one who can't live without Wen Ran.
He goes to a friend for drinks and pours out his troubles, hoping the man will help him win his wife back.
Lu Qiaoye opens the door, looking as if he's just woken up. His pajama shirt is unbuttoned, revealing a lean, muscular chest, and traces of something that could be sweat or water glisten on him.
After a pause, he lets Gu Jingshen in.
As soon as Gu Jingshen steps through the door, a familiar voice comes from behind the shower glass.
"Aye, where did you put the body wash?"

Content notes:
1. Yes, there will be a love triangle. Yes, there will be someone stealing another person's partner.
2. The female lead is a virgin; the male lead is not.
3. Don't scold the heroine when she's being indecisive. Go scold the scumbag instead. Yes, I'm playing favorites!
