Qu Yanhuai × Liang Yusheng
Contract relationship at first, then the male lead pursues his wife
Hong Kong vibes | Second-chance romance | Old flames reignited
-
"Making something of myself" is an obsession etched into Qu Yanhuai's bones.
She moved to Hong Kong Island with her mother after her mother remarried. She lived in a cramped subdivided flat in Sham Shui Po, hemmed in by a dense forest of steel and unable to see the sky even when she looked up.
The first time she visited Victoria Peak, she vowed she would own an apartment overlooking Hong Kong's nightscape.
The day her wish came true happened to be the day Liang Yusheng asked to break up.
He stood before the floor-to-ceiling windows, facing the magnificent view, his gaze as warm and gentle as ever.
"I thought you'd refuse."
She smiled casually. "Mr. Liang bought four years of my youth. That's a fair price."
Ever since, whenever people brought up their old love affair, they said the two had each gotten what they wanted. No one believed the people in the story had ever been sincere.
Qu Yanhuai only laughed it off whenever she heard such rumors.
Then, one afternoon when a No. 10 typhoon signal was raised,
Liang Yusheng appeared once again in the new home he'd given her.
She stared at the lock he'd forced open, incredulous as she tried to confirm that the man standing before her was still the same mild-mannered, unflappable Mr. Liang.
He stepped forward and took the news article from her hand. After reading it, he smiled mockingly.
"Fu Ming's Crown Prince Finds New Love" - the lighter's wheel spun, and the article caught fire in an instant. "Do they not fact-check the news anymore?"
In that moment, the madness in his eyes was more dazzling than the flames.
The last time she sat down at the negotiating table with Liang Yusheng, he still made a generous offer.
"If I wanted the rest of Miss Qu's life, would my entire fortune be enough?"
Qu Yanhuai countered, "And if I wanted the rest of your life, Mr. Liang, what would you offer?"
"A single tear would be enough."
"And you've already given me one."
