A Kiss of Honey

The Su family went bankrupt and collapsed. Her father jumped to his death, and her older brother went to prison.

Su Mi fell from being a little princess to an ordinary life, struggling every day to make ends meet.

Unable to get by abroad, she was forced to return home.

She ran into Pei Huaizhou again at a bar. He had risen from a poor boy to a rising star in the tech world.

Su Mi lowered her head as she passed him. Perhaps he had forgotten her long ago.

When a drunk customer harassed her, the man intervened just in time.

He gripped her slender shoulder and looked down at her with a cool, mocking gaze.

"What, has the little princess of the Su family fallen so low that she's selling drinks in a bar?"

Her last shred of pride made her push his hand away. "Sorry, sir. You've got the wrong person."

Su Mi knew Pei Huaizhou hated her for causing the death of his beloved, Chen Xinyu.

Even though she had never meant for it to happen, Chen Xinyu had died because of her.

They met again at the hospital, where Su Mi was asking everyone she could for money to pay for her daughter's treatment.

He was pushing his grandmother, who had dementia. The old woman took Su Mi's hand, beaming with joy, and said to Pei Huaizhou,

"Xiaozhou, when are you going to marry Susu and bring her home?"

As they left the hospital, rain poured down. Pei Huaizhou held a black umbrella over her, shielding her from the downpour.

He looked down at her miserable, disheveled state.

"Marry me. I'll pay the medical bills, and you'll care for my grandmother for the rest of her life."

Su Mi had thought theirs would be a marriage of convenience, with each of them getting what they needed from the other.

After they married, she fulfilled every duty of a wife, including sleeping with him.

But Su Mi never expected that Pei Huaizhou had married her only to get revenge and humiliate her.

He had never let go of Chen Xinyu.

Su Mi asked for a divorce, but the man angrily tore her skirt to shreds...

His eyes bloodshot, he warned her, "Whether we divorce or not is up to me!"

Later, before Grandma Pei passed away, she gave Su Mi an old box Pei Huaizhou had treasured since his youth.

Su Mi opened the rusty tin box and found a yellowed ID photo of herself at eighteen. Beneath it was an unopened love letter.
