Under the Wall [Married First]

[Main story complete] Next up: My Husband Went Crazy Before the Divorce

[Two powerful families / Married first, fell in love later / Male lead takes the initiative / Secretly in love / Long-planned scheme]

*Black-hearted female CEO x devoted fox of a man

Two months after Ning Yu returned from abroad, her fiance of many years broke off their engagement.

Faced with the mockery and scorn around her, her first thought was: Why not just find someone else?

Three-legged toads are hard to find, but rich young men are everywhere.

Then her former fiance's best friend came right to her doorstep.

-

At a drinking party, a table of pampered heirs from the capital's elite circles played a childish game of Truth or Dare.

Xie Congzhou was deliberately singled out, but he answered three questions with ease.

When was your most recent sexual encounter?, The day before yesterday.

How many times did you do it that night?, You should ask the other person.

Is the person you're meeting tonight here?, Yes.

The explosive revelations caused an uproar around the table.

No one noticed Ning Yu's stiff expression.

Only when the next round began and Xie Congzhou spun the bottle toward her did he lazily ask with his dark eyes, "When was your last sexual encounter?"

It was a retaliatory question, the same one someone had just asked him.

Ning Yu chose to drink, because she couldn't give the same answer he had.

Everyone knew that Ning Yu and Xie Congzhou didn't get along.

She was rigid and serious, while he was carefree and laid-back. They had been rivals who couldn't stand each other since high school.

But behind closed doors, where no one knew, they were tangled together in intimate embraces.

Xie Congzhou made Ning Yu sweat all over, yet kept asking, "When are we meeting for round two?"

-

"Once you've seen the vast ocean, no other water will do; once you've seen the clouds of Wushan, no other clouds will compare."

Simply put, this is a story about a man lurking at the foot of the wall, itching to steal another man's girl, and resorting to any means necessary to claim his place.^_^

Warnings

The male lead is hopelessly in love. The heroine likes her fiance at first and only uses the male lead.

Both leads have only been with each other, one-on-one romance.

[Angst / Winning Back His Wife]

Zhou Sui and Meng Wanbai were promised to each other as children.

One grew up in Huai Town, an obscure backwater, and was thoroughly ordinary in every way. The other was the heir to the Meng family, raised in Jingbei, a heaven-blessed prodigy who stood out from the crowd.

Despite the gulf between them, Meng Wanbai was kind and honored their engagement. As soon as they were old enough to marry, he registered their marriage with her.

Their marriage existed in name only, and Zhou Sui knew there was no love between them.

Over the three years of their marriage, Zhou Sui watched Meng Wanbai take over the company and see his career flourish more and more...

She couldn't even be a good "supportive wife." The words she said to him most often were: I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I married you because of pressure from my family. I'm sorry I tied someone as wonderful as you to a person like me.

Meng Wanbai should have had a more elegant wife who was better suited to him, and a broader life ahead of him.

Zhou Sui kept waiting for Meng Wanbai to ask her for a divorce, but he was such a kind and filial person. How could he be the one to ask?

The day Meng's grandfather died, Zhou Sui decided it was time.

She shouldn't selfishly keep Meng Wanbai tied to her, so she took the initiative and asked for a divorce.

The moment she finally said it, she felt a weight lift from her shoulders.

But Meng Wanbai, who should have been happy and relieved in Zhou Sui's eyes, fell silent for a few seconds before asking, "You haven't seen me for twelve days, and this is what you have to say to me?"

"Divorce? Impossible." He lifted Zhou Sui's chin and said, enunciating each word, "Unless I'm dead."

His dark eyes fixed on her, burning with a fire as fierce as a frozen river. He looked like a madman.

Then his voice suddenly turned soft and gentle. "Sui Sui, don't even think about escaping. And don't go outside anymore."

Gentle, resilient heroine like a little white flower x brooding, obsessive male lead

They marry first and fall in love later, but it doesn't work out, so they still have to divorce. There's a groveling arc, but not much.

Both leads have only ever loved each other, and it's their first love.

Contains a scene of forced confinement. Read with caution. I just wanted to write some melodramatic angst.

The male lead is stronger than the female lead. The heroine won't undergo a complete transformation by the end, but will grow in a way consistent with her character.

Theme: Once you've seen the vast ocean, no other water will do; once you've seen the clouds of Wushan, no other clouds will compare.
