[Reunion after years apart | Marriage first, love later from her perspective | Unrequited love finally reciprocated from his perspective]

[Sweet and resilient but incredibly oblivious heroine x proud, reserved, tsundere big-shot hero]

A month before her wedding, Shang Yu's fiance cheated on her.

Everyone was gleefully waiting to see her become a laughingstock.

But the wedding went ahead as planned, with a different groom.

Yan Gui, the second son of the Yan family of Hangcheng, was refined and distinguished, aloof and distant.

Countless socialites wanted to get close to him, but he never spared them a glance.

His sudden marriage sent shockwaves through their circle.

A close friend went to find out what was going on.

Yan Gui lazily raised his eyes and said coolly, without mercy, "We each get what we need. How much affection could there be?"

His friend understood, privately wondering how long this marriage would last.

-

Before long, Shang Yu's ex-fiance regretted everything and called her.

But the voice that came through the phone was a lazy, magnetic male voice.

"My wife doesn't have time for you, and she never will."

After hanging up, he bent down and kissed Shang Yu's soft lips.

In the deep of night, the usually proud and self-controlled young master of the Yan family spoke in a hoarse voice, nearly losing control.

"Why are you thinking about him? Look at me."

"Your eyes, your heart, this place... they can only belong to me."

-

No one knew how many years Yan Gui had been in love with Shang Yu.

In the height of summer, on the rainy day they graduated, he waited for her until nightfall, thinking that their goodbye would be forever.

Years later, she came tumbling into his life like a rain-soaked little bird.

"Did you marry me out of obligation, or because we each had something to gain?"

"Neither. I took advantage of your predicament, because it's what my heart wanted."

[The rainy days he walked through, too, were a graceful dance]

[Don't speak of longing, someone's about to go mad]

[How I wish I could see you once more]

Sweet, adorable artist heroine x brooding puppy-like singer hero

"Did he hit you again?"

The girl didn't say a word. Xie Ran stubbed out his cigarette and asked, "Do you think coming to me will help?"

"Can you take me away?" Her voice trembled.

Xie Ran narrowed his eyes, his smile mocking.

"I can't take you away without making it official."

The girl pulled out her ID and the household registration booklet she'd stolen.

"If I marry you, is that official enough?"

Xu Zhi Tao's voice was calm.

The smile froze on Xie Ran's face.

-

Xie Ran's sudden marriage was pretty rock and roll, which suited his identity as a singer.

But when he appeared in the headlines holding his new sister-in-law's hand,

everyone lost their composure.

"Xu Zhi Tao? Isn't she Liang Bo's fiancee?"

"The young master of the Xie family is worth more than several Liang Bos put together."

"Wow, he really stole her right from under his nose!"

Liang Bo stared at the photo, his face livid.

The Xie family had just withdrawn its investment in his company, forcing it into bankruptcy.

Not long before, he'd been cornered in an alley and beaten up. He reported it to the police, but nothing came of it.

He knew exactly what was going on, but there was nothing he could do.

-

Xu Zhi Tao was just a pawn Xie Ran used to get away from Liang Bo.

How could a huge star like him ever fall for someone like her?

Don't fall for him, or you'll get hurt.

Xu Zhi Tao kept telling herself that.

Even after they got married, she behaved herself and tried to maintain a polite distance from Xie Ran.

Until one day, backstage at dusk, under the dim lights,

he gently pulled her clothes aside. Their kisses lingered, tender and dangerous.

"First I took you away, then I married you..."

"Xu Zhi Tao, I've been waiting for your next instruction."

"But I can't wait any longer."

-

She didn't know.

After their brief encounter at a music festival, Xie Ran could no longer make room in his heart for anyone else.

Like a little puppy, he dreamed of being tamed by her.

Take her away?

He was the one who'd been taken.
