Xanthosia
Novel Introduction
Ten years later, when they met again, Zhu Xu was married.
His family was pressing him about marriage, sending people to drop hints: "You've been single for several years now. You ought to start dating someone again."
Ho Yan Chau joked: "Date whom? Become a homewrecker?"
Well then, he's clearly got his eye on a married woman.
Less than six months later, Zhu Xu divorced.
That person was delighted for him: "Mr Ho, you've got a chance now. You must seize the opportunity!"
Ho Yan Chau was in good spirits: "Mind your own business."Content Warnings:
Happy Ending (HE) / Both characters are not virgins
Female lead is divorced; both are mature adults with romantic experience
Male lead's character is rather perfect, whilst the female lead's is the opposite. (Since there's no virgin plot, I don't consider their respective romantic histories to be flaws. The above refers to their attitudes and behaviour towards each other in this relationship.)
The female lead's marriage to her ex-husband lasted one year. The ex-husband was domestically abusive. After the second incident of domestic violence, the female lead sought divorce but couldn't escape. When the third incident occurred-which is where our story begins-the female lead rescued herself and left the abusive man, rather than relying on the male lead's help. (The text contains domestic violence scenes.)
During these ten years, he never deliberately waited for her, nor did he meet anyone he particularly fancied.
