Let's Say Goodbye Here

An older married couple reunites after a breakup, with a groveling chase to win back the wife that lasts from beginning to end. They divorce right from the start, and the male lead gets put through the wringer.

The company's long-time employees couldn't quite make sense of their CEO Qu's recent behavior.

He used to fly all over the country on business trips every day, acting as if he was ready to work himself to death to make the company bigger and stronger than all the rest. Then, all of a sudden, he stopped traveling and stopped fighting for his career. In his thirties, at the peak of his charm, he suddenly became laid-back.

They later found out that CEO Qu had been dumped by his wife.

Rumors flew. Some guessed that Qu Xizhou had cheated, since his secretary had been with him for years, and the two were so in sync and trusting of each other that the boundaries between them seemed blurred. Others guessed that the couple had grown distant because they hardly saw each other. After all, they'd been married for years and still had no children, and CEO Qu didn't look like he was incapable. Some thought Pei Pei might have found a better opportunity, since her career was flourishing and she might not have been all that devoted to Qu Xizhou.

From the day he met Pei Pei, Qu Xizhou never imagined there would come a day when they would part. He never expected that Pei Pei would not only want a divorce, but leave no room for negotiation. She ended things cleanly and without hesitation, as if she'd grown tired of him long ago during their seven-year marriage.

So Qu Xizhou was even less prepared for the men who appeared one after another by Pei Pei's side, like bamboo shoots after the rain. He was so jealous his eyes nearly turned green, but Pei Pei remained completely unmoved.

Pei Pei was strong-willed, independent, and a woman of her word. Qu Xizhou had been her only weakness and the one exception to her rules for all those years. Now that she'd personally given up on their marriage, it meant remarriage was out of the question, and she was done with him for good. From now on, no one in her life would be special or irreplaceable.

Qu Xizhou: Can we talk about this? Can we put the divorce on hold?

Pei Pei: Get lost.

Hot-tempered, arrogant, and stubborn male lead VS independent heroine who means what she says and is ruthless when she has to be

The heroine is a little bad at saying what she means, but from the start she's firmly against getting back together. The male lead is good at talking, but never says the right thing. He'll get put in his place, take a breather, then start begging her to reconcile all over again.

A friendly warning: The heroine ends things decisively and will date someone else along the way. If you require sexually pure characters, this one isn't for you.

Theme: Even if lovers miss their chance, they can still find their way back to each other~
