The Divorce Is Final, Lord Shi, Please Keep Yourself in Check!

[Marriage first, love later + groveling pursuit + career comeback + clear-eyed heroine + aloof beauty brought down from her pedestal + second male lead wins]

After two years of marriage, Qi Zhiyu had buried her secret love deep in her heart and become Shi Zeyu’s most devoted wife.

But instead, he personally destroyed her chance to study overseas, cutting off her career prospects. “You’re married now. You should stay home and behave.”

Then he poured hundreds of millions into paving the way for his spoiled adopted cousin, elevating her into a rising star in the entertainment industry.

Everyone in Baigang City waited for Qi Zhiyu to come crying and begging for forgiveness, certain she couldn’t survive without the Shi family.

But Qi Zhiyu signed the divorce papers and made a dazzling return with a film project she had spent a year preparing.

The rising director Qi Zhiyu was decisive and formidable, her brilliance impossible to ignore.

Everyone knew Shi Zeyu was the toughest man in Baigang City: ruthless, sinister, and never one to bow his head.

Until one stormy night, someone saw the all-powerful head of the family kneeling beneath her villa, eyes red from crying, soaked in the rain for an entire night.

He clutched her wrist and refused to let go, his voice breaking apart. “Qi Zhiyu, I’ll give you everything I own, even my life. Could you please look back at me just once?”

“I was wrong... Please don’t leave me.”

Qi Zhiyu gently brushed his hand away, her smile cold enough to cut. “Shi Zeyu, who wants your life?”

Inside, Pei Siyan, the aloof beauty everyone adored, lowered his eyes and spoke softly, his voice tender and earnest. “If you’re willing, could you give me a chance?”

Only Pei Siyan knew how carefully he was approaching her, step by step, and how much restraint it took, hidden beneath his composed exterior.
