Chasing His Wife to the Crematorium, But Failing / The Second Male Lead Takes the Lead

1.

Wan Biruru was raised in the Qin family, and had loved Qin Siming since she was young. The people around her laughed that she wasn't good enough for him, but she stubbornly loved the kindness beneath the man's cold exterior, doing her best to protect this hard-won relationship.

She had deluded herself for a long time, until Qin Siming's birthday. Clutching a gift she had spent days making, she heard him speaking intimately with the woman he had always loved from outside the door.

“I really don't have feelings for Wan Biruru.”

“I admit it, though. When I kissed you, I meant it.”

Qin Siming, always so restrained and indifferent to desire, seemed to fall from his pedestal in an instant.

2.

At the Lantern Festival fair, Wan Biruru didn't meet the boyfriend she'd pined for over the years. By a twist of fate, she ended up admiring the lanterns with Jing Yuyi, the notorious second young master of a prestigious family, whom everyone said was utterly impossible to deal with.

The first light of dawn shone through the secluded valley, spreading like a blazing torch. The lanterns outshone the moon. Beneath the lanterns hanging high above, she tilted her head back to hide her tears. “I miss home so much...”

Unbeknownst to her, the man glanced sideways at her and thought that her beauty outshone the lanterns.

3.

The day Qin Siming received her breakup message, he barely cared. When he heard that Wan Biruru had been drinking herself into a stupor over her heartbreak, he casually set aside the gift she had left behind and declared, “Once she gets over her little mood, she'll be back tomorrow.”

He never expected Wan Biruru to wake up and find herself in Anzhuang, a thousand miles away.

Jing Yuyi leaned lazily against the window. His deep, sharp features seemed to soften against the picturesque waterside town behind him. He made it sound like nothing to have taken her across half the country overnight, and smiled at her without a trace of embarrassment. “Didn't you say you missed home?”

4.

Jing Yuyi was born into a prominent family in the capital. He had always been flamboyant and carefree, and had never been particularly pleasant to anyone.

After he started dating, someone saw that Wan Biruru had replaced his watch, worth tens of millions, with a crocheted wristband trimmed with a little bow.

His friend was dumbstruck, and couldn't help worrying for Wan Biruru.

But Jing Yuyi was no longer his usual arrogant, devil-may-care self. He paraded the wristband in front of them like a priceless treasure. “Jealous? You single losers can only dream of this.”

Everyone: ?

What is there to be jealous of?

All right, maybe a little.

Mostly because our sister-in-law is gorgeous and incredibly crafty TAT

Reading Guide: Bubbly, candid social butterfly sweetheart × irreverent, roguish bad boy

1. One-on-one romance, both leads are each other's first.

2. The second male lead takes the lead, while the male lead's road to winning her back goes up in flames.

3. Set in an alternate world with lots of original details. Please go easy on me, history buffs.

Coming Soon 1: "Pian Pian"

Yan Pianwan began ballet at four, won gold at an international competition at fifteen, and became a principal dancer at eighteen.

Bright and proud, with an otherworldly grace, she had been the apple of everyone's eye all her life.

Then a car accident ended her dancing career. At the same time, the Yan family went bankrupt, and all the city's socialites watched her downfall with glee.

Her frivolous, womanizing ex even declared in public, “Still putting on airs? Make me happy tonight, and maybe I'll give you something nice.”

Amid the laughter, Yan Pianwan smiled without saying a word. She casually swept back her hair, her beautiful shoulders and neck still held high with pride.

The moment she raised her hand, the diamond on her finger dazzled everyone.

Yan Maosong, the head of a prestigious family, appeared at her side at some point. Refined and distinguished, his narrow eyes half-lidded, he spoke with chilling calm. “I'm afraid you won't get the chance.”

“I'm not very happy right now, either.”

-

Yan Maosong, only son of a prominent family in the capital, was refined, courteous, reserved in matters of the heart, and had always kept his distance from women. The socialites of their circle considered him the most sought-after bachelor they could never have.

When Yan Pianwan was at her lowest, the Yan family revisited an old joke about an ancestral betrothal. She guessed that Yan Maosong must have secretly loved her for ten years or more, quietly playing the part of a man whose love was unrequited.

She gritted her teeth. After all, he was handsome and rich, so marrying him wasn't exactly a loss. She went out of her way to please him for a while after their wedding, then quickly abandoned her self-important assumptions from before.

Damn it, in his past life this man must have been either an ironwood tree or a block of elm.

Yan Pianwan adjusted her attitude and settled into the carefree life of a rich wife with billions in assets.

Well... everything was great, except that she felt like a widow.

Until one day...

In the dim bedroom, lit by a single night-light, Yan Maosong leaned silently against the wall and watched her. He had seen her male dance partner walk her home.

“Does what you said before still stand?” He moved closer, step by step, pinning her against the back of the door. His voice was low and husky. “That time you went out of your way to please me.”

Before Yan Pianwan could answer, he leaned down toward her. “Wife, take off my glasses for me.”

Behind the clear lenses, his eyes were turbulent with emotion. The truth was plain to see.

#The Story of How I Failed to Recognize a Gem and Ended Up Begging My Wife to Pursue Me Again#

Down-on-her-luck heiress × refined, roguish cold beauty

Coming Soon 2: "Grant Me Dawn" (Jing Yuyi's older brother's story)

Ambitious, hardworking actress × cold, arrogant director

Rising director Jing Yaozheng is immensely talented and became famous at a young age. Though he works behind the scenes, his looks, on par with those of a top-tier star, often land him on trending searches. When people learned that he had a clean dating history and no rumors, fans went wild, and Jing wives sprang up everywhere.

Then a gossip account revealed, “A genius director surnamed J has a son and may take him on a reality show about celebrity kids.”

The internet erupted in disbelief and doubt.

Jing Yaozheng personally debunked the rumor, though his response was a little different from what people expected: “The reality show part is false, the son part is true. Please don't pry into my private life or my family's.”

Countless young women's hearts broke overnight, and everyone began guessing which celestial beauty was the child's mother.

-

Shu Zhenxian was breathtakingly beautiful, but also dogged by a mountain of scandals. A former idol, she had allegedly stolen someone else's role. After landing a part in Jing Yaozheng's new film, she became the target of ridicule across the internet.

She didn't care at all, focusing on her work and constantly delivering stunning photos.

Later, paparazzi caught the usually strict and ruthless Jing Yaozheng kneeling on one knee on set to gently wipe away Shu Zhenxian's tears after she got scared during an explosion scene.

Some people maliciously speculated: “Still trying to grab attention? Who doesn't know she's just pretending to be pitiful? It's all a ploy to climb the ladder.”

Afterward, the stars themselves responded.

Shu Zhenxian: “Can the directors and paparazzi please do your jobs properly? Wasn't crying part of the scene? Did I ask you to wipe my tears? Did I ask you to make up stories?”

Once the uproar died down, everyone finally realized that nothing intimate or ambiguous had happened between the two, and neither had there been any conflict. Quite a few people commented that it was boring.

Then, at the wrap party, an adorable little boy suddenly ran over, hugged Jing Yaozheng's leg, and shyly called to Shu Zhenxian, “Daddy! So you really did win Mommy back!”

Everyone there: ?!

Shu Zhenxian: ...

Jing Yaozheng: ?

Thanks. You really are my son.

He'd almost won her back.

Now, thanks to that little stunt, he would probably have to start all over again.
