A gorgeous, spicy, peacock-like bottom who can't keep up the act of being a virtuous family man x a self-controlled, proper, possessive big shot who showers his oblivious beloved with money
Su Yu was married to Ji Congfu for five years. He reined in his arrogant temper, gave up smoking, drinking, and having fun, and even though he knew his husband had no feelings for him, he did his best to play the warm, gentle homemaker everyone expected.
That was, until his birthday, when he saw his husband, who had claimed he was on a business trip, appear on the trending list for the third time because of a scandal, and with the same person.
It was a photo of a kiss taken from a misleading angle.
Su Yu knew it was fake, but he also knew that without Ji Congfu's tacit approval, there was no way those things could have reached him.
He thought, even a moth flying into the flames has to know when to stop.
So he signed a divorce agreement, and they went their separate ways.
.
On the third day after Su Yu divorced him, Ji Congfu suddenly received a photo on WeChat.
At the most famous bar in J City, Su Yu, who had vanished for days, lounged against a chair in a black strappy suit and heavy makeup.
His short hair, streaked blue, looked rebellious and carefree in the lights. His earrings glittered, and his casual smile drew nearly every eye in the place.
This was a side of Su Yu he had never seen before.
And at Su Yu's feet, a slender, fair-skinned boy was kneeling properly, his gaze fixed on the hand holding Su Yu's riding crop. Even through the blurry photo, his adoration was impossible to hide.
His childhood friend sent a voice message, full of provocation:
“Congfu, your ex is so hot. Did you know?”
Basically, it's a story about a libertine young master who thinks true love conquers all and love can live on water alone. He gets fed up and enters an arranged marriage, washing his hands of his old life to cook for his spouse. After five years, he realizes none of it mattered, so he decides to return to his old ways. Then his possessive, icy husband goes on a desperate quest to win him back.
Content warning: Neither lead is perfect. Both have flaws, and they need to break down and rebuild, slowly working things out through countless clashes.
