Shen Hua, the daughter of the Shen family that ran an embroidery business in Fengzhou, was pampered since she was a child. She had a pretty face and smooth, fair skin. Unfortunately, her body was weak, and she'd run out of breath after walking merely a few steps.

Only, why did he still want to ruin her prospects?“Leng Yixiu, we are already divorced!” Even a cornered rabbit will bite.“Is that so? What if I say I regret it?” He raised his eyebrows slightly and pinned her against the wall.From then on, the proud and introverted big BOSS began his long journey to pursue his wife...
