1.

At 28, to deal with her family's pressure to get married, Wen You'an registered her marriage to a man she'd only met briefly at a restaurant.

After the wedding, they lived in different cities and saw each other only a handful of times.

If a student in her class hadn't gotten into trouble and needed their parents called in to mediate a conflict, Wen You'an thought she and Pei Ji might never have had much to do with each other in this lifetime.

Then came the night they got drunk. Neither knew who lost control first, but they spent a wild, reckless night together.

Wen You'an never thought this incident would change their relationship, but the man furrowed his brows and asked through clenched teeth:

“Wen You'an, do you really have to keep such a clear distance between us?”

Pei Ji was deeply dissatisfied with his wife. Not for any particular reason, just because she acted as though he didn't exist.

After a friend's advice, the star attorney, a perennial honoree at the Jingbei Bar Association's industry contribution awards, accepted an invitation from Jing University to become a visiting lecturer, hoping to get close to her by taking advantage of his proximity.

But she brushed off every advance with indifference.

Pei, the great lawyer who had never lost a case in court, felt defeated for the first time. Unable to shake his frustration, he could only get drunk day after day.

Until one day, a friend shared a post with Wen You'an, with two lines circled in red.

Netizen: Rich, gorgeous, fit, six feet tall, long legs, eight-pack abs, a bodhisattva of a husband. What time are you going home?

Pei Ji replied below: My wife often doesn't come home.

After reading it, Wen You'an couldn't help laughing.

That day, she found the man drinking in a bar with his head down. Before she could say a word, he pulled her tightly into his arms.

The usually solemn man looked utterly aggrieved as he muttered his complaint: “Wifey, you've been really mean to me lately.”
