First Sight

Xia Li always said she was an ordinary person. Her grades in school were mediocre, her job after graduation was average, and she just wanted a simple, peaceful life. However, her mother couldn't accept her ordinariness. Even as an illegitimate daughter, she always strived for the best, to an almost pathological degree. It wasn't until Ji Ling appeared that she found someone to confide in.

They had countless moments of resonance and explored hidden feelings. But ultimately, a misunderstanding led them to part ways, stopping at the rather polite term of "former friends." Years later, Xia Li heard Ji Ling's name again, in connection with his engagement. And the speculated fiancée was herself.

On their wedding night, she was exhausted and found an empty room to rest early. To her surprise, she was woken in the middle of the night. Without a word, a firm, strong hand locked her in his embrace, followed by a passionate kiss, fierce yet lingering. Ji Ling panted softly, kissed her nose, and mumbled, "Who sleeps in a guest room on their wedding night? What do you take me for?"

Even after countless tender moments, she had never entertained the idea of crossing boundaries. After leaving during a rain shower, a divorce agreement was placed on the bedside table. The words left unspoken before he left were then placed in a gentle kiss while he slept.

Upon learning of this, her friends frantically recommended suitable new partners. As Xia Li was about to refuse, Ji Ling found her like a madman. With red eyes, he cornered her against the wall and gritted his teeth, asking fiercely, "Did I say we were divorcing? So eager?"

*Reunion at the beginning.* The male lead is pure in body and mind.
