Female Lead: “Should we get remarried?”
Male Lead: “No.”
*
Two years after her divorce, He Tong finally went on a blind date.
But she never imagined she'd run into her ex-husband at the very same restaurant.
Her ex-husband still looked as successful as ever. He was a divorcee, yet he was somehow on a blind date with a young, beautiful heiress, who seemed quite taken with him. Then He Tong looked at the divorced man sitting across from her, nearly forty and with two kids, and laughed in disbelief.
If this was the kind of man she could find after the divorce, why not just get back together with her ex-husband?

The moment Wen Boxi got his divorce papers two years ago, he swore he'd never set foot in that graveyard called marriage again.
So he halfheartedly went on one blind date after another, turning down one prospective partner after the next.
But when he heard his damn ex-wife ask if they could get back together, he still couldn't help feeling tempted.
In the end, he repeated his old mistakes: he ended up in his ex-wife's bed and fell for her tricks all over again. With his ex-wife resting her head on his arm, Wen Boxi could only smile wryly. Wen Boxi, you deserve to spend your whole life as this woman's dog, getting played in circles by her.
“Wen Boxi, you idiot.”
“For her, I’ll force myself to talk of love once more.”, “Seven Friends”
Two-faced woman x aloof beauty
A two-faced woman who says whatever suits the person she's talking to x an aloof beauty who's polite to everyone, but loses his composure around the female lead
* A husband-chasing crematorium. The leads have a child, but the male lead doesn't know.
* Though this is a husband-chasing crematorium, it's the deceptive kind. For example, the male lead says he'll never get back together with the female lead, but still gets tempted when she shamelessly pursues him. He can never learn to turn her down cleanly and firmly. She crooks a finger and he's at her door, only to keep arguing with himself and refusing to reconcile. That's the kind of crematorium this is.
* No matter how awful the female lead gets, I absolutely won't replace her. Personally, I don't think she's that bad. Feel free to respect my choice and wish us well.
* Everyone's tastes are their own, including liking toxic women and pathetic men. Please let them exist. The triggers are clearly listed in the blurb, so if you don't like them, please don't click in and put yourself through it. Thank you.
* Though the female lead has the upper hand in the relationship and the male lead is in the weaker position, his inner struggles and her personal growth are still rather bittersweet.
