#DARK ROMANCE 
Lin Yueyao spent five years of her youth married to Shen Xiao, a man whose heart was as cold as steel. She believed that her gentleness would eventually melt his indifference, but the only thing that melted was her own dignity.

Every night, she endured his cruel touch, his words like blades, and his silent disgust. But no matter how much it hurt, Yueyao clung on – for the sake of their son, Xuanxuan, and for the sliver of hope that someday he might see her.

That hope shattered completely when his first love, Bai Zhi, returned from abroad. The very night Bai Zhi came back, Shen Xiao left Yueyao alone to dine with her. His gaze, once cold and dismissive, turned tender only for Bai Zhi.

Then, just as Yueyao discovered she was pregnant again, Shen Xiao handed her divorce papers. Abandoned while carrying his child, betrayed by her husband, and discarded like a stain on his life, Yueyao’s world collapsed.

Even their son, Xuanxuan – the little boy she’d nearly died giving birth to, the one she raised with unwavering devotion – rejected her, clinging instead to Bai Zhi with innocent adoration.

But fate was crueler still.

Kidnapped straight from her hospital bed by men demanding ransom, Yueyao realised no one was coming to save her. Her husband hadn’t even noticed she was missing. As she lay in that abandoned factory, trembling in pain, all illusions crumbled.

She was done waiting for love from a man who treated her like dirt.

This time, she would save herself. And when she returned, it wouldn’t be as the pitiful Mrs. Shen, but as a woman reborn from ashes – with a heart no longer beating for Shen Xiao.

But will he realise her worth only when it’s too late?

Love After Divorce: Her Second Chance

"Why are you doing this to me?!" she screamed, her voice raw with grief and rage as she threw a photo frame, the glass smashing into the wall beside his head, "What do you want from me?! What did I ever do to deserve this, Shen Xiao?!"

His dark eyes never left her. The sharp edges of broken glass glittered around his polished shoes as he stood rooted in place, watching her sobbing breakdown with an unreadable expression.

The dim golden light from the overhead chandelier barely reached the corners of the vast living room. Shattered glass glittered like cursed diamonds across the marble floor, mixed with shards of porcelain and splatters of blood.

Yueyao lay crumpled amongst the wreckage, her thin cotton dress stained with crimson and dust. Her dark hair tangled wildly around her tear-streaked face as sobs wracked her frail frame.

Her chest heaved with silent, desperate gasps between her broken whispers.
