Crematorium-style groveling and ashes scattering / second male lead takes the heroine / older woman-younger man romance
Wen Yu is the fake heiress of a wealthy family.
After the real heiress returns, her adoptive parents marry her off to the Xu family of Jiangcheng.
But after a whole year of marriage, she and her new husband still barely know each other.
He's either away on business or on his way to a business trip. They don't even hold hands in public, let alone touch each other. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was keeping himself pure for his one true love.
Not wanting to cause trouble for her adoptive parents, she made do with the life she had.
Until one Valentine's Day, she saw her husband in the park, even though he'd messaged her to say he was away on business.
He was pushing a girl on a swing, a heartfelt smile on his face. The girl asked him with a beaming smile when he would marry her, and he said, "Soon."
Wen Yu knew her marriage had reached its end.
Maybe she was a little sad, or maybe she wasn't very sad at all. Either way, she wasn't paying close enough attention while driving and hit a delivery guy.
Frantic, she called an ambulance and took him to the hospital. Luckily, he only had superficial injuries. But the guy insisted that he had a concussion and that she had to take responsibility, so Wen Yu had no choice but to rent a room and look after him. She never expected him to cling to her from then on.
The guy couldn't cook or do laundry, and without her, he'd starve. But he could smile sweetly at her, praise her cooking, and stick to her, calling her "Sis" every other word.
He invited her to a barbecue, flew kites with her, and took her to an amusement park.
Wen Yu realized that her once gloomy, lonely life seemed to have gained color.
The day she left the divorce papers, her ex-husband called her nonstop. She didn't answer, too busy teaming up with the guy in her room to play video games.
There was a loud knock at the door.
Her ex-husband stood there, furious and ready to confront her about cheating during their marriage. But before he could get a word out, the guy came out with a cold expression. The ex-husband flinched in fear. "M-Mr. Jiang."
Mr. Jiang?
Wen Yu remembered.
No wonder he had looked familiar the first time she saw him.
Jiang Xunyi, her elementary school classmate.
