Trapped in a Love Show's Shura Field with My Ex

[Affection-Starved, Clear-Eyed, Beautiful, Proud Little Fox x Sensitive-Skinned, Catty Crybaby Ex-Husband]

Pei Li was beautiful and popular, but she had too many bad romances. Then, at some point, a hopeless romantic suddenly appeared at her side.

She accepted Huai Kuandong's confession for reasons that weren't entirely innocent.

Later, Pei Li asked to break up. Huai Kuandong refused. "Please... don't break up with me, okay? I'll do anything, as long as we don't break up. You said it before, you did..."

Choking back tears, Huai Kuandong pulled out the wish coupon Pei Li had given him earlier. His hands trembled as he searched through their chat history. "This is... the wish coupon you gave me as a reward before. I haven't used it. I'll use it now... okay? I wish we wouldn't break up. You said... it didn't have an expiration date."

Pei Li walked away without looking back, convinced that Huai Kuandong must hate her.

Four years later, they met again on a dating reality show.

Huai Kuandong had changed somewhat, but at first Pei Li didn't pay much attention. Then things started getting increasingly strange.

Wherever she went, she could feel someone watching her closely.

If she sent a text to another male contestant, Huai Kuandong would corner her in a dark room that night and make her listen to his catty remarks.

If she had an intimate moment with another male contestant, the next day Huai Kuandong would use every means at his disposal to sabotage her planned date.

During a group activity, the production team organized a game of cat and mouse.

In the confusion, Pei Li hid in a cupboard, but soon someone opened the door and light streamed in.

Pei Li looked up and met Huai Kuandong's eyes.

Huai Kuandong smiled and spoke first. "Li Li, won't you beg me?"

Pei Li: "..."

A devoted house-husband turning into an obsessive creep? No, thank you!

[Blurb Two]:

Pei Li didn't like people who were dull and wooden, and Huai Kuandong looked like the kind of lovesick fool who couldn't do anything right.

But later, she decided that being wooden wasn't necessarily a bad thing. Huai Kuandong was steady and quiet, and Pei Li liked anything that made her feel safe and comfortable.

After graduation, Pei Li asked Huai Kuandong to break up. He looked into her eyes and saw nothing but a desolate expanse of snow.

They met again on a dating reality show.

Watching Pei Li interact with the other male contestants, Huai Kuandong could barely suppress his overwhelming possessiveness. His heart ached so badly he could hardly breathe.

But Pei Li asked him, "So what gives you the right to ask me that now?"

Only later did Huai Kuandong understand. It wasn't about repairing their breakup, being trapped in the past, or constantly hoping Pei Li would feel sorry for him because of their old relationship. He had to make Pei Li fall in love with him all over again.

He made Pei Li ask him that question again: "So what gives you the right to ask me that now?"

This time it wasn't an accusation. It was Pei Li encouraging Huai Kuandong to ask her for a place in her life, a place he could claim openly and rightfully.

He thought that at last, the winter that belonged to him had welcomed the long-awaited snow.
