Wen Xin finds a marriage-of-convenience partner whose qualifications match hers in every way. To her surprise, it's the ex-boyfriend she dumped two years ago.
Leaning against the doorway, she watches the man bent over the sink washing his face, curious and unable to resist.
The boyfriend who once couldn't live without her now treats her like she's invisible, passing her by without a word or a glance.
"Hey." She tugs at the hem of his shirt.
He frowns and turns around, his face cold and full of disdain.
Wen Xin gazes into his eyes, where he tries to hide his feelings, and smiles brightly. "Hubby."
Fang Luqing: "Call me that again and you'll regret it."

The day they broke up, Fang Luqing lay in a hospital bed with an IV drip, staring at her. His lips were pale, and he looked close to death as he said, word by word, "Do you want me to die?"
Wen Xin felt a headache unlike any she'd ever had. "What are you talking about? Get better first, and stop overthinking."
"You're breaking up with me because you want me dead," he said through gritted teeth, his eyes red.
