Rekindled romance | Male substitute | 12-year age gap

1. Xie Yun set her sights on Qi Songhui because his face reminded her of someone.

She was the adopted granddaughter of an education tycoon, and he was the only son of a shipping magnate. After four years of deliberately getting close to him, and countless rejections, he wrote up a marriage agreement while half-drunk.

But on the day they were supposed to register their marriage, neither of them showed up. He turned around and got engaged to his childhood sweetheart, making headlines everywhere.

2. They met again outside a graduation interview.

A nearly bankrupt car company had a new owner, surnamed Qi. She wondered to herself: Could it be him?

At the cemetery gate in the rain, he stopped her and lightly brushed the white flower on her sleeve. The man who had once been so cold toward her spoke with possessive insistence: "I've approved your hire, but the marriage agreement still stands. Don't think you can back out."

3. Qi Songhui met Xie Yun after turning thirty, but he never managed to see through her.

At first, she was the one who pursued him. After they married, though, she was as elusive as a cloud or mist. Even when she kissed him, her eyes seemed to be looking at someone else through him.

She agreed to marry him for just one year. With their divorce date drawing near, he signed the papers and handed them to her at a new-car launch. She leaned against his shoulder and whispered, "Could we not get divorced?"

He crumpled the papers and tossed them into the shredder. "...Fine."

So what if he was a substitute? As long as she was his, that was enough.
