Spoiled, wooden-headed heroine x insecure, brooding hero
Ji Wuxia and Ren Piaomiao were a notoriously ill-matched couple, known to everyone.
Ji Wuxia came from a prominent family and held a high status. Ever since birth, she had been the center of attention. Ren Piaomiao was the only one who never indulged her, so naturally, she disliked him.
Ren Piaomiao, meanwhile, resented Ji Wuxia for being so spoiled and never taking him seriously.
When Ji Wuxia's father arranged their marriage, neither of them wanted it, but he was determined to see it through.
After the wedding, they quarreled constantly and grew to hate each other more and more. Yet neither ever brought up divorce. Ji Wuxia thought there was still some affection between them, but when she was on her deathbed, Ren Piaomiao refused to come and see her one last time.
Only then did Ji Wuxia realize just how much Ren Piaomiao hated her.
Death should have ended their connection, but it failed to do so. When Ji Wuxia opened her eyes, she was back before the wedding. Remembering the misery of her future entanglement with Ren Piaomiao, the usually spoiled young lady lowered her head and threatened to take her own life unless her father called off the engagement.
Her father agreed, but she did not feel the relief she had expected.
Only then did Ji Wuxia realize she might not dislike Ren Piaomiao as much as she thought. If he had indulged her a little over the years, things might not have turned so ugly between them.
Still, Ren Piaomiao hated her, so he ought to be happy, right?
Then why was he even angrier, hiding away to cry in secret?
