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

Original title: After Marriage, President He Loses Control and Falls Hard

[Marriage First, Love Later; Older, Powerful Male Lead; Slow-Burning Romance]

Wen Ni is the most marginalized member of the Wen family.

Caution and constant vigilance are her rules for survival.

Wen Ni once harbored unspoken feelings for Zhou Chiyun, but his sudden departure, the Wen family’s excessive control, and a tangle of misunderstandings kept them from ever getting together.

After that, she no longer dared to give anyone her true heart.

Marriage for the sake of an alliance was a choice she made only after weighing all her options.

He Yushen, head of the powerful He family, one of the capital’s most prominent clans. His authority is absolute, and everyone fears him.

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 business reasons, he ordered the rumors suppressed, though he genuinely didn’t care.

He and Wen Ni would simply continue following the terms of their prenuptial agreement.

Everyone thought they were nothing more than a couple in name only. After all, what real married couple lives in different countries the day after getting their marriage license?

That is, until an unprecedented blizzard brought local traffic to a standstill. He Yushen couldn’t reach Wen Ni for hours, then ran into Zhou Chiyun on the way, walking her home through the snow.

Wen Ni met He Yushen’s bloodshot gaze. “I-I can explain.”

He Yushen gripped her wrist and pulled her into his arms. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Zhou Chiyun glance back in the distance. In that moment, his usual composure completely fell apart. “Don’t speak. Kiss me.”

After that, Wen Ni kept her distance from other men, determined to play her part as Mrs. He with all her heart.

But He Yushen grew increasingly jealous and dissatisfied, and came to hate their prenuptial agreement.
