A Wife's Pact: Winning Over My Gorgeous Ex-Wife

He was born under a fate that doomed him to be alone, so the Old Master found him a wife whose birth chart matched his. She had a remarkably auspicious fate, yet had no say in being married into a wealthy family. “I didn’t save you on purpose.” At twenty-two, Qing Chen had her fortune told and married Chen Chi, the young master of the Chen family whom everyone in Longcheng admired, even though all he gave her was a look cold enough to freeze her to the bone. At twenty-three, she and Chen Chi were still strangers despite being married. When he finally agreed, they divorced, and she was free again. At twenty-six, she was a TV host with no ties to Chen Chi. At a station banquet, someone shoved her, and by a twist of fate she took a knife meant for him. Only then did she truly enter Chen Chi’s world. Her single life was turned upside down by Chen Chi. Faced with her ex-husband’s relentless pursuit, Qing Chen could only weep in frustration. “So you’ve been secretly in love with me all this time?” At twenty-six, Chen Chi became the youngest full professor and doctoral supervisor in the Economics School at A University. He also happened to get married, taking a wife he had absolutely no interest in. At twenty-seven, the old man who had forced him to marry died. Chen Chi naturally returned to single life, much to the delight of the women who coveted him. At thirty, someone tried to ambush Chen Chi at a banquet. But thanks to the woman who suddenly rushed over and took the knife for him, he was unharmed. What kind of deep affection would make her throw herself in harm’s way at the most dangerous moment? A spark of interest suddenly appeared in Professor Chen’s unfathomable eyes, directed at his former wife. The boys at A University, one of the country’s top schools, say: If you want to fail, lose your mind, or jump off a building, take Professor Chen’s class. The girls at A University say: If you want to watch your dream guy teach, hear him speak, or get close to him, take Professor Chen’s class. The girls also say: You know what it means to be naturally bewitching and devastatingly alluring? That’s Professor Chen! But Qing Chen says: How do you get a self-obsessed professor who thinks I’m in love with him to get lost? Asking online. It’s urgent. [Scene One]: Chen Chi: Since you can’t live without me, I’ll reluctantly save your life. Qing Chen: …How are you going to save me? Chen Chi: Remarry me, dear wife. [Scene Two]: “What makes you think Professor Chen would like you?” said the first woman who coveted Chen Chi. “A twice-married woman still dreams of marrying Chen Chi?” said the second. “The Chen family would never accept someone who’s been divorced!” said the third. Qing Chen gave a cold laugh. “What a coincidence. Your Professor Chen has been married twice too, and I happen to be his ex-wife.” It took them only a year to go from marriage to divorce, and during that year they treated each other with polite respect. It took three years to go from divorce to remarriage, and during those three years they were complete strangers. From remarriage to… probably the rest of their lives. Remember when they first met? Chen Chi raised an eyebrow and sneered: “A beauty who could topple a city? Which city did you topple?” In the end, fate gave him the answer. The city Qing Chen toppled was his very own “Chen City.” [A devoted 1v1 romance with both leads’ first love being each other.]
