Gorgeous, spoiled little wife x outwardly cold and wooden, inwardly obsessive and dramatic CEO
The spoiled wife's perspective:
Qi He had always felt that her marriage was a relationship in name only.
Her wife was the head of a publicly traded company, taciturn and dull. Apart from handing over her salary every month and regularly depositing huge sums into Qi He's account, there was nothing interesting about their marriage.
She had been secretly thinking about getting a divorce.
Then, after waking up following a gala, she was horrified to discover herself lying on a huge hotel bed, covered in marks.
Qi He saw black before her eyes.
No, this couldn't be. Had she cheated on her wife!?
They say that when people face a major crisis, their minds suddenly become clear.
At that moment, she suddenly realized how good her wife was.
Though her wife wasn't good with words, she spent lavishly on Qi He, never flirted around, treated her gently and sincerely, and never argued with her.
Feeling guilty, Qi He still chose to tell her wife the truth when she got home.
She confessed that if her wife wanted a divorce, she was willing to leave with nothing. But if her wife was willing to give her a chance to make amends, she would love her properly and start over.
To her surprise, her wife really was an honest person. She merely furrowed her brow and agreed not to divorce her. She didn't even tell their family about Qi He's infidelity.
Qi He immediately felt that she'd been completely wrong about her wife.
Her wife was gentle and considerate, earned money for her to spend, came home every night, and never fooled around with other women. Where could she find another wife this wonderful?
Filled with guilt, Qi He repented for all the ways she hadn't cherished her wife before. Every day, she did her wife's laundry, cooked for her, massaged her legs and shoulders, and tried all kinds of things in bed to please her. Even when her legs were trembling from exhaustion the next day, she still worked diligently as her wife's devoted support.
She watched as her wife gradually came around and treated her even better than before the affair.
By chance, Qi He learned from the hotel receptionist that the person who had brought her to the hotel that night was her own wife.
In other words...
She had never cheated at all!
The CEO's perspective:
Ji Yunxia had never met a woman as delicate as Qi He. She had to wear pretty clothes every day and put on exquisite makeup, spoke in a soft, sweet voice, and couldn't bear to hear a single harsh word. The slightest grievance made her eyes turn red, and the lightest touch left her skin purple-red.
Fussy, weepy, and always getting angry.
Her personality was the complete opposite of Ji Yunxia's.
If not for their families' arranged marriage, Ji Yunxia thought, she would never have married a woman like her.
But after they began living together, Ji Yunxia realized that she was changing.
When she looked at the other's plump, red lips, she wanted to hold her by the shoulders and kiss her. When she saw Qi He dressed up in glamorous finery every day, she couldn't help wanting to chase away everyone around her who looked at her.
She even developed a secret, uncontrollable desire to find some way to make herself the only person in the other's eyes and heart, so she would never see the world outside again.
Ji Yunxia was startled by her own abnormal thoughts. She forcibly suppressed them as they grew more and more uncontrollable with time. Every day in front of Qi He, she maintained her quiet, taciturn image.
Until one day, she saw the other woman with her own eyes at a bar, drinking intimately with several scantily clad women.
Ji Yunxia realized she could no longer suppress her dark thoughts.
She took Qi He away and acted out every gloomy fantasy she'd rehearsed countless times in her mind.
Then, when she came to her senses the next morning, she fled in a panic.
She was afraid Qi He would discover the other side hidden beneath her mask.
Afraid Qi He would be unable to bear it and ask for a divorce.
But she never imagined that the other woman would come home looking guilty, head bowed as she apologized. She told Ji Yunxia that she'd cheated on her with another woman the night before, apologizing in a tearful voice.
As if bewitched, Ji Yunxia didn't tell her the truth. Looking at the shame on her little wife's face and listening to her embarrassed, aggrieved sobs, she pretended to magnanimously "forgive" her "infidelity."
"It's okay."
She heard herself say, her gentle words hiding a secret delight only she knew about.
"As long as you behave from now on."
Behave, and love me.
Trust me.
Stay by my side, like a good girl.
As she watched her guilt-ridden wife throw herself into her arms with tears in her eyes, unable to take any more but still blushing as she fulfilled every one of Ji Yunxia's requests, Ji Yunxia thought to herself, secretly.
[Please note]
1. At heart, this is still a sweet romance. Neither of them actually cheats. It's all post-marital fun.
2. The main theme is falling in love after marriage and learning to get along. The secondary theme is watching a gorgeous, spoiled little wife make a mistake, then do everything she can to curry favor and beg an honest person to forgive her, only to discover that the honest person is actually pretending to be a yandere, all to make her fall in love.
3. Qi He is a spoiled little wife: sweet, beautiful, full of little schemes, fond of spending lots of money on pretty clothes, bags, and makeup, and prone to getting angry and jealous. The prettier she is, the worse her temper. Neither character is perfect at the beginning!
4. If you don't collect me, I won't collect you. When will Xixi reach her preorder goal? If you don't bookmark me, I won't bookmark you. When will Xixi have enough to write about? Add me to your favorites, everyone! (Very loud!)
Theme: True love is priceless!
