Passion Within Marriage

Rolling around and begging for bookmarks, sob sob

①

Forced into a marriage alliance by family pressure, Xia Yang hears that her busy, bargain-bin husband is just as free-spirited and averse to constraints as she is, and that he is an icy block of ice no one can warm. She immediately decides to do unto him what she would not want done to herself, using extremely clingy, smothering affection to force him to divorce her.

Even a clay figure has a temper. After one barrage after another, Xia Yang thinks it is only a matter of time before he asks for a divorce. But unexpectedly, her normally aloof husband starts coming home more and more often...

Xia Yang: Wait! No! This isn't how my script goes!

②

After several rounds of drinks, at a lavish dinner party, Pei Zhijian gets a call from Xia Yang. Her voice through the phone is soft, sweet, and gentle: “Honey, why aren't you home yet? Did you go out to eat? Who are you eating with? What are you having? Could you take a picture and send it to me? What time will you be back? Will you still love me when you get back?”

Pei Zhijian remains expressionless, raises his hand to take photos of the scene, and answers each question one by one.

Someone at the table teases him: “So President Pei, who slays gods and Buddhas in the business world, is actually henpecked?”

The man only smiles faintly. “You flatter me. My wife can't bear to be apart from me.”

Her smothering-affection battle plan fails, so Xia Yang decides to try another way. She gets her passport ready, planning to leave and enjoy herself abroad.

When he learns the news, the normally cool and refined man loses his usual composure for the first time. He blocks her at home and throws her onto the bed.

“Planning to run away? Mrs. Pei, don't forget the duties and responsibilities a wife must fulfill.”

Xia Yang: QAQ, I failed to get a divorce again today!
