Shattered Tenderness

【The Ex-Wife Chase, Plus the Second Male Lead Takes the Crown】 Jiang Wan came from an ordinary background, but she met Su Qi, a wealthy young heir who fell in love with her at first sight and pursued her passionately. Jiang Wan knew the gap between their stations and turned him down every time. But he never lost heart. When she wanted food from her hometown, Su Qi, who had never set foot in a kitchen, cooked for her. He was happy to burn himself with hot oil if it meant making her a meal. When she wanted candied hawthorns, he braved the bitter winter cold to wait in line and buy them for her. She liked lilac blossoms, so he searched everywhere for seeds and planted an entire mountainside for her. She loved making desserts, so he went all over town to find ingredients and gladly served as her taste tester. When she was upset, he endured his own illness to comfort her. When she graduated from college, he covered the campus sports field with 99,999 roses and proposed. At last, she was moved. Realizing she had fallen in love with him long ago, she said yes. Everyone said she was lucky to have found a man who loved her so deeply and treated her as his one and only. But that very man, who loved her more than life itself, cheated on her as their wedding day approached. He claimed to love her even as he tried desperately to have a child with his mistress. Heartbroken, she turned and walked away. After she left, Su Qi searched for her like a madman. When he finally found her, he did everything he could to beg her to come back. He lingered outside her door day and night, pleading with red-rimmed eyes for her to change her mind. Jiang Wan coldly refused. “You’re too late. You’re in my past now, and I have a new life.” She looked toward the straight-backed man standing not far away. He was Su Qi’s childhood friend, Lu Yan.
