He Went Abroad Right After We Married, but Lost Control When I Asked for a Divorce

Original title: After Marriage, Mr. He Lost Control and Fell for Her [Marriage first, love later, top-tier older male lead, a slow-burn romance]

Wen Ni was the most marginalized member of the Wen family. Treading carefully and always on guard was how she survived. She had kept her love for Zhou Chiyun secret. His sudden disappearance, the Wen family's excessive control, and a host of misunderstandings had left them unable to be together. After that, she no longer dared to give anyone her heart. A marriage alliance was a choice she made only after weighing everything, with no other option.

He Yushen, head of the powerful He family, one of the most influential families in Beijing, was someone everyone feared. Marriage was his grandfather's dying wish and a duty to his family. One day after the wedding, He Yushen happened to hear that Wen Ni had a crush on Zhou Chiyun. For the sake of appearances, he ordered the rumors suppressed, though in truth he didn't care. He and Wen Ni would continue living according to their prenuptial agreement.

Everyone thought they were a couple in name only. After all, what real married couple would live in separate countries the day after getting their marriage license?

That was until a once-in-a-century blizzard brought traffic restrictions to some areas. He Yushen couldn't reach Wen Ni for a long time, but halfway there he ran into Zhou Chiyun, who was walking her home.

Wen Ni met He Yushen's bloodshot eyes. “I-I can explain.”

He Yushen tightened his grip around Wen Ni's wrist, holding her close. From the corner of his eye, he saw Zhou Chiyun looking back in the distance. At that moment, his usual composure completely crumbled. “Don't talk. Kiss me.”

After that, Wen Ni kept her distance from other men, determined to play the role of Mrs. He with all her heart. But He Yushen grew more and more jealous and resentful, regretting the prenuptial agreement.
