★ A Love Born of Hatred, A Sincere Heart in a Wretched Man, The Ex-Wife Chasing Inferno
Strong-willed and clear-headed x cruel bad seed
01/
Xu Yuewei was briefly involved with Fu Tingsheng.
Back then, she was desperately short of money, and he just happened to be very rich.
She knew their relationship had hardly begun on honest terms. They used and took from each other, so she restrained herself and dared not give him her heart.
At the start of their marriage, Fu Tingsheng was nothing short of the ideal partner.
He was a gentleman, warm, handsome, and wealthy.
He never held back when it came to giving her resources and connections. He bought her an apartment and jewelry, and helped her reach for dreams that had once seemed impossibly far away.
Back then, she was the Fu matriarch, envied by everyone in Beicheng. Even Xu Yuewei herself almost believed it was all real.
She thought that perhaps he really did like her, just a little.
Until that night, after they had lost themselves in passion, Fu Tingsheng pulled away and said he was going to take a shower.
As rain pattered through the night, she heard him speaking on the phone on the terrace with her own ears.
His voice was cold. He said, "You know I could never fall in love with her."
Behind the thick glass, the rain outside soaked her, too.
On the day they divorced, the first snow fell in Beicheng. Snowflakes drifted down, covering the ground in white and erasing every trace that she had ever been there.
Xu Yuewei gave herself three days to deal with her feelings.
On the fourth day, she accepted the enormous breakup settlement Fu Tingsheng offered, bought a plane ticket, and flew alone to Austria with her cello.
From then on, she left his side for good.
02/
She met Fu Tingsheng again at her engagement party.
Amid the clinking glasses, the man wore a dark suit, aloof and distinguished. His black eyes, cold behind gold-rimmed glasses, were fixed on her and the person beside her.
After the party, in a cramped, airless storage room.
No one knew that the once peerless, untouchable Mr. Fu had cruelly trapped her in his arms and kissed her like a mad dog, forcing his way past her lips and teeth.
His voice hoarse, he begged her humbly to love him one more time.
Her voice was cool. "But, Mr. Fu, you know me. I never look back."
Her gaze held no trace of feeling.
"The heartbeat of a reunion weighs just a little more than ten thousand butterflies falling to the ground at once."
◆ Both leads are each other's only partners. A strongly old-school ex-wife-chasing inferno with lots and lots of pursuit, plus plenty of romantic rivals competing for the heroine.
