The Prodigal's Spoiled Lover [The Wife-Chasing Crematorium]

Age gap | Generational divide | A playboy goes after a sweet girl, but she's the one who makes the first move | A long road to winning her back

She's fierce, fiery, and seductive × He's doting, roguish, and a flirt

No one knows Jiang Erxi likes Lu Ze, not even Lu Ze himself.

He's frivolous, rebellious, and carefree, and he's ten years older than her.

Their families have been close for generations, and by seniority, Jiang Erxi has to call him Uncle Xiao Lu.

Jiang Erxi goes to university in the city where Lu Ze works, and her family asks him to look after her.

Somehow, while looking after her, they end up in bed together.

Lu Ze regrets seducing a girl from the Jiang family, especially one from a younger generation.

But the girl doesn't seem to take it seriously, so they keep carrying on in this ambiguous, undefined relationship.

Gradually, everyone in their circle learns that the pleasure-seeking Young Master Lu has a young woman studying at an art academy by his side.

Even when a beautiful woman rubs against him in a nightclub, he jokes, "Careful, you'll get makeup all over me."

"What, Mr. Lu, afraid you'll have to explain yourself to someone?"

Lu Ze nods solemnly, his expression tender. "My cat has a sharp nose. If she smells an unfamiliar scent, she'll scratch me."

Later, after graduating from university, Jiang Erxi goes to Paris for further studies. She only lets him know by WeChat just before boarding.

When she lands and turns on her phone, she sees his reply: [You made a decision this big without discussing it with me?]

Jiang Erxi: [Uncle Xiao Lu, aren't you tired of this yet? I am. Let's call it quits.]

At first, Lu Ze takes it in stride. His ungrateful cat has left, so he can go back to living without one.

But gradually, he starts to feel miserable. Everything feels wrong and unfamiliar, and it's driving him crazy.

When he's in Paris on a business trip, he asks Jiang Erxi to meet, just wanting to see her.

But she answers the phone in a sweet, matter-of-fact voice: "Today? I can't today. My boyfriend's parents invited me over for dinner."

After that, Young Master Lu disappears from the scene for a long time. When people ask around, they learn it's because his cat has jumped into another man's arms.

He's panicking.

He leaves a mountain of work at the company behind and heads to Paris to coax his cat.
