Married first, in love later | The second male lead wins | Openly poaching someone's partner
A timid schemer X an obsessive bad seed
To clear the way for her older sister, Su Yanni was sent by her parents to a foreign country. On the rainy streets of Milan, at the loneliest and most helpless moment of her life, Mu Chengyuan held an umbrella over her.
They fell in love in a cramped apartment, drinking together until they passed out. He was one of the few sources of warmth in her life, until one night, drunk and dreaming, he called out Su Ziyun's name. That was when Su Yanni finally woke up to the truth.
In the end, she was only the “mud” in a world of “clouds and mud,” utterly beneath him.
On impulse, she proposed to Mu Yunxiao, who was just as unaccepted by his family.
The aloof man spoke bluntly and crudely: “The kind you let sleep with you?”
-
To Mu Chengyuan, Mu Yunxiao was like the most dazzling neon sign in A City's night. He hadn't been raised by his parents, and had grown up rebellious, arrogant, and wild.
Mu Chengyuan scoffed at Su Yanni's change of heart. “She's just throwing a tantrum. Once she's done, she'll come back on her own.”
That was until he saw her get into Mu Yunxiao's car with his own eyes.
The rear window was half open, the light dim. Dressed in a suit, Mu Yunxiao wrapped an arm around Su Yanni's slender waist and nipped at her ear, giving Mu Chengyuan a provocative smile.
Later, Mu Chengyuan drank himself into a stupor and called Su Yanni, his eyes red. “Yanni, I'm sick. I want to see you, just once.”
But Mu Yunxiao's languid voice came through the receiver.
“Calling my wife in the middle of the night.” He curled his lips into a smile. “You really are seriously ill.”
-
Everyone said Mu Yunxiao was an obsessive, ungrateful bastard. Anyone who crossed him met a miserable end. As it happened, he had been sent away from home because of Su Yanni.
She had always thought he hated her.
He approached her for revenge, accepted her proposal for revenge, and even kissed her in front of Mu Chengyuan for revenge.
It wasn't until later that she learned he had fallen for her long ago. Their entanglement was something he had carefully planned, step by step, waiting for her to fall into the sweet trap he had laid.
-Neon belongs to the night. She belongs to me.
