*"The scumbag's long road to winning his wife back" Blurb written on June 5, 2022, screenshot saved
Everyone knew that Gu Chenxuan, heir to the Gu family of Shanghai, was a carefree playboy who took nothing seriously. He poured his passion into the racetrack, spent lavishly at nightclubs, and drove the women of high society wild with nothing but his face.
Everyone wondered who could win Gu Chenxuan's heart.
On the night of her engagement to Wen Yao, daughter of the Wen family, she wore a gorgeous orange-pink mermaid gown. Her bright eyes were captivating.
He threw on a trendy hoodie, showed up late, filled her glass with red wine, raised an eyebrow, and smiled with reckless abandon. "Do you really want to marry me?"
Wen Yao nodded shyly, her eyes filled with the man she'd secretly loved for years.

Wen Yao couldn't describe how much she loved Gu Chenxuan. She loved him so much she could no longer see anyone else.
She thought Gu Chenxuan treated her well. He brought her along to hang out with his friends and drove her home when she was dead drunk. He took her to the racetrack and didn't mind how wretched she looked when she got out of the car and threw up.
But one day,
she saw Gu Chenxuan driving the supercar she'd ridden in as his passenger, taking another girl for a leisurely spin around the track.
When they got out, he even opened the car door for her like a gentleman, then took the champagne someone handed her and drank it for her.
She fled in disarray, finally understanding that their relationship was nothing more than a business alliance through marriage.

Years later, when they met again, she was a renowned jewelry designer,
while the once-arrogant Gu heir had become a business tycoon everyone feared and respected.
At the charity auction, he wore a perfectly tailored black suit. His features were refined, and he was even more dazzling and distinguished than before.
He bought every piece of jewelry she'd designed, but she wouldn't spare him even a glance.
He walked through the crowd of obsequious guests toward her, all his former arrogance and pride gone.
"Long time no see, Mr. Gu."
"Two years and forty-two days, Miss Wen."
In the chaotic night, she looked charming, linking arms with another man as she brushed past him.
He was consumed by a gnawing jealousy that drove him mad.
-
At the dazzling nightclub, she was surrounded by flirty men, having the time of her life, one drink after another. He walked toward her with a cold expression,
then reached out and trapped her in the space between his arms.
His deep eyes flashed with unmistakable anger. "Wen Yao, are you done playing?"
Hearing Gu Chenxuan repeat the words she had once said, she laughed softly. "No."
He pulled off his tie and took the drink from her hand with his long, bony fingers.
His Adam's apple bobbed as he drank it all in one go.
"Fine. I'll play with you."
