[Clear-headed, self-loving uke after divorce x gentle, devoted childhood-friend seme, the second male lead]

1.

After marrying Chen Wangsheng, Lin Mingyu devoted himself wholeheartedly to being a housewife, hoping to be a considerate spouse. Chen Wangsheng had a weak stomach, and Lin Mingyu was always thinking that when he came home, he would be able to eat a hot meal.

But before they had been married for three years, Chen Wangsheng found someone new. It turned out he had only gotten together with Lin Mingyu because Lin resembled that “him” from Chen Wangsheng’s past. How was this a new love? It was clearly an old flame. The ridiculous thing was that Lin Mingyu had once deluded himself into thinking Chen Wangsheng’s old flame was the one who resembled him.

At last, Chen Wangsheng slapped the divorce papers down in front of him. “Let’s get divorced. Sign them. En’en has already waited for me for three years. You’re strong, but he’s not like you. He needs me to protect him.”

Lin Mingyu was struck as if by lightning. Xu Zhien had waited for Chen Wangsheng for three years? Then what had these past three years meant for him?

Lin Mingyu refused to agree. Chen Wangsheng said coldly, “Fine. Once you’ve got your paperwork ready, we’ll go to the civil affairs bureau.”

2.

After discovering he was pregnant, Lin Mingyu developed abdominal pain. At the same time, Xu Zhien came down with a fever. Chen Wangsheng rushed to take Xu Zhien to the hospital, carrying him in his arms, while Lin Mingyu finally managed to get through to emergency services and was taken to the hospital for an IV.

In the hospital corridor, Lin Mingyu saw Chen Wangsheng holding Xu Zhien and trying to cheer him up...

At the Chen family villa, seven-and-a-half-months-pregnant Lin Mingyu was deliberately shoved aside by Xu Zhien on the stairs. He nearly lost the baby, yet his husband only said, “En’en didn’t mean to...”

At that moment, Lin Mingyu lost all hope.

Fine. He would get divorced.

After the divorce, Lin Mingyu became the exclusive contract photographer for his childhood friend’s company, and his career flourished. Then his childhood friend, the CEO of YC Corporation, grabbed Lin Mingyu’s hand at a press conference and said, “He doesn’t want you, but I do. Come with me.”

Watching on the big screen as Lin Mingyu’s childhood friend drank in one gulp the stomach-soothing porridge Lin Mingyu had once made for him, Chen Wangsheng felt a sharp pain pierce his heart, so intense he could barely bear it.

That man should have been his, but he had personally pushed him into someone else’s arms. Only too late did he realize that the man had loved him so desperately, and he had made him lose everything.

On a stormy night, Chen Wangsheng got dead drunk and sobbed outside the villa where Lin Mingyu lived. “Yu’er, I love you. Don’t go. I don’t want my son calling someone else Dad. Come back, Yu’er. I’d give you my life.”

Lin Mingyu: “Sorry, you bastard. I already have someone new. Get lost!”
