The Tidal Laws

[Groveling Ex] [Melodramatic]

Marrying Sui Yu was an accident.

A year into their marriage, her husband had only just learned to recognize her face.

To her, being the real daughter the Jing family had spent years searching for was a joke.

To the people of Pinghai City, Sui Yu marrying a deaf woman was a joke.

That day, she came home from the pouring rain, soaked through and shivering with cold, yet she refused his concern. Her eyes fixed on him, stubborn and bright. "Sui Yu, I won't be a burden to you, but we have to be equals first."

He said nothing. He lit a cigarette in front of her, and through the hazy veil of smoke, she saw him give a slight nod.

After that, everything began to change. The unruly young master occasionally learned to hold himself back. A book called The Way of Marriage appeared on the bedside table, and he made an effort to show her the respect she deserved in front of others.

She thought everything would continue to go smoothly.

Until one day, Sui Yu's childhood friend joked to the others, "Don't you think that little deaf girl's back looks just like Jing Xunzhao in this photo from high school? Come to think of it, this is where our Young Master Sui's love story began."

Jing Xunzhao, Sui Yu's first love, the moonlight in his heart, was known to everyone in Pinghai City.

She was also her older sister, the Jing family's adopted daughter, and the only ex-girlfriend Sui Yu had ever publicly acknowledged.

She was the woman he had meant to marry.

Later, aboard the luxury cruise ship Matthew, Jing Xunzhao and she were taken hostage to threaten that man.

She saw Sui Yu sitting opposite them, calmly pouring himself some red wine and chatting with the kidnappers as if nothing were wrong.

Kidnapper: Which of them matters more to you?

He didn't even blink. "Let Jing Xunzhao go."

Kidnapper: I knew it.

She knew it, too.

After she sank into the depths of the sea, that coldhearted man went completely mad.

"Stars light-years apart pulse in sync. The laws of the universe decided it long ago."

The god who had once fancied himself above the tides willingly fell to his knees the moment he saw the moon clearly, begging to orbit around her.
