[Years of secret love from the male lead, marriage first and love later for the female lead] Also known as The Tea Brewer and the Fish Butcher

When Qiao Yingxue married Huo Yangxian, she knew full well that their political marriage was an exchange of interests, with little real affection involved.

At first, she thought she was the one who fell in love first.

But when misunderstandings, entangled interests, and framing drove them apart, and they each went their own way, she finally realized:

She had lit up his entire youth. All the beautiful moments in their marriage

were not a calculated act, but the genuine feelings of someone who had secretly loved her for years.

After the divorce, they met for the first time.

Huo Yangxian kept calling Qiao Yingxue a "liar."

She had held on to her cool, distant air for so long, but he finally dragged her down from her pedestal. When she confronted him,

he simply said, utterly calm, "You don't want me anymore, so why should I care about saving face?"

Notes:

1. The best love is always between equals. This is the female lead's growth arc, and the author's message as well.

2. The male lead has secretly loved her for years, while the female lead falls in love after marriage. One-on-one romance, and no one is more devoted than the male lead.

Theme: The best love is between equals.
