[Cool, aloof beauty and chemistry genius x restrained, stern glass tycoon]
On the day she registered her marriage to Chu Yunlang, Ning Zhixi silently resented him for a long time.
For six years of marriage, they were strangers to each other. She would rather fool around with a bartender than even look him in the eye.
In the final late autumn of the century, scandals about her filled S City.
Promiscuity, affairs, stealing and selling information...
She fell from being a chemistry genius to a vile wretch despised by everyone. Her worst offense was personally orchestrating a kidnapping to force him to divorce her. The hostage was herself.
In his suit, eyes bloodshot, he could barely stand.
"Let her go. Take me instead."
A hypocritical, selfish, lecherous beast in human clothing.
She watched him coldly with a smile, still thinking of him that way.
Until someone tried to kill her. He pushed her off the rocks, held the bomb, and traded his broken body for her slim chance at survival.
"Zhizhi, I don't owe you anything anymore."
Something deep in her heart seemed to stir.
Reborn in the 1990s, she woke in a hospital room.
The man had kept watch over her for several nights without a word, then handed her the divorce papers she had dreamed of getting.
"Sign, and I'll let you go."
A passing nurse saw the cool, aloof beauty who had been bedridden for half a month wrap her arms around her husband, weeping like a pear blossom in the rain for a long, long time.
