Childhood friends / Married first, in love later / A seemingly flirtatious playboy x a cool, aloof young lady
*
Her stepmother regarded her as the source of all trouble in the household. Qu Yiwei had nothing to say about it.
That was until her stepmother consulted a fortune-teller, who said the only way to break the curse was to marry her off. Qu Yiwei could no longer sit still.
There was someone else who couldn't sit still, either.
Zhou Weiyue, her childhood friend of ten years, was also the famous young master of the Zhou family in Beicheng.
That day, Qu Yiwei invited him out for drinks. After a few glasses, her consciousness began to fade. Just as she was down to her last shred of awareness, a gentle, enticing voice reached her ear.
"Qu Yiwei, marry me."
*
After they married, Qu Yiwei moved in with him.
But she knew all too well that Zhou Weiyue had defied his parents only to help her.
There was no other reason.
Though she bore the title of his wife, Qu Yiwei gave him plenty of freedom and said understandingly, "You can go find your true love. I'll pretend not to notice, as long as you don't bring them home..."
That night, just as Qu Yiwei was about to draw a "line down the middle" of the bed again, the man pulled her forcefully into his arms.
*
The day peace finally returned to the Qu family was also the day Qu Yiwei asked him for a divorce.
Summer rain lashed the city, trying to wash away the past.
Qu Yiwei placed the divorce papers on the cabinet by the door, then dragged a suitcase toward the exit.
But as soon as she opened the door, she came face-to-face with a man whose hair was soaked with sweat.
Zhou Weiyue panted as he tore the divorce papers to shreds. His eyes darkened, and he sneered, "Have you no conscience? You used me and now you're tossing me aside. Do you really think I'm that easy to dump?"
