Fang Li married the man she loved most. Even though he never introduced her as his wife in public or made any effort to bring her into his social circle, she felt happy every time she saw them standing side by side on their marriage certificate, looking at the camera. Who could have expected that in the third year of their marriage, the man rumored to be her husband's first love would return to China after a divorce? Her husband, who had never liked attending dinner parties, went out of his way to attend the welcome-back banquet. Fang Li realized it was time for her to leave. She packed up her things neatly, left behind a divorce agreement, and walked out without hesitation. Better to leave with dignity than wait to be thrown out.
Three years later, Fang Li returned to China and learned that the CEO, famous for his extreme rationality, had gotten drunk in the first year after she left and suffered a stomach perforation. He became a walking corpse in the eyes of others. Fang Li never would have imagined that Yan Zhi would fall apart like this because of her.
[The aloof one falls from his pedestal. The couple will face many misunderstandings. Happy ending. A melodramatic, angsty romance with a little sweetness. If that's not your thing, don't start reading.]
