Hypothermia

[He's coveted another man's wife for years] [Possessive love]

Fang Yiyue met her husband at university. After years of dating, they made it to the altar, and after their marriage, he cherished and adored her, treating her like a treasure.

But their misfortune began when her husband's career suffered a major setback, forcing him to humble himself and beg others for a chance to survive.

Gu Yeteng had risen rapidly through the ranks. After returning to the country, he was fawned over by everyone and became a regular feature in business headlines. His story of going from a poor young man to the head of a multinational corporation was a favorite topic of conversation. Even Yiyue's husband had to flatter him and curry his favor.

At a dinner where her husband went to ask for help, Yiyue watched anxiously as he was made to drink cup after cup. The man looked on coldly as she urged him to stop drinking, a refined smile on his face concealing intentions Yiyue couldn't understand.

Later, her husband's death crushed the delicate flower that had been raised in a greenhouse.

Gu Yeteng ruthlessly plucked her away, then tended to her carefully, watering her day and night.

Yiyue had many fantasies. The most common was that Gu Yeteng really loved her.

Then her supposedly dead husband came back to life, and she finally realized that fantasies were only fantasies.

P.S. After the heroine's husband is "dead," he is officially declared dead in the country. The relationship between the leads only begins to develop after her husband is declared dead, so it does not constitute a violation of the law, and there is no cheating.

- Blurb revised 2025.3.7.

- The husband is not "dead" at the beginning.

- The heroine has prior experience, the hero does not. Strong male lead, weak female lead. Not a wish-fulfillment story, but a bittersweet, melodramatic one.
