📕He married another,claiming, "No certificate." He broke down when I agreed to an arranged marriage.

00:00 Story 1: The third year of my engagement to Cole.
He quietly held a wedding with another woman.
I stood in the audience, watching them embrace with greedy heat.
When Cole glanced my way he smiled, calm as ever: “Don’t get the wrong idea. I’m only posing with Mabel for some photos — a fake wedding. We’re not registering it.”
My anger seared through me; I turned and left.
He thought I was putting on a show, until someone posted a wedding certificate on Weibo.
Cole fumbled through the snow to my door and pounded the bell like a madman.
I opened the door, still flushed from what had just happened behind closed curtains.
“Don’t misunderstand either,” I said. “Felix and I are simply husband and wife in name. If we actually legally register, then fine — we’ll get married for real.”
35:45 Story 2: When Selene​ wakes up in the hospital to her husband Ryker​ demanding a divorce and handing her their newborn daughter like unwanted baggage, she realizes the seven-year marriage—and their beloved bar, Nightfall—was built on lies. Ryker’s true love, Serena, has returned, and he’s willing to sacrifice everything (including his child) to be with her.
But Selene isn’t the naive woman she once was. With just 800,000 yuan​ and a burning thirst for justice, she rebuilds her life, reopening Nirvanaright across from Ryker and Serena’s failing Nocturne. As Ryker’s empire crumbles—thanks to Serena’s reckless spending and his own betrayal—Selene watches from the other side of the street, serving drinks made with the original recipes heonce adored.
But when Ryker’s world crashes down—his leg infected, his bar bankrupt, and Serena gone—will he finally realize what he’s lost? Or is revenge sweeter when served cold?
A gripping tale of love turned to ashes, betrayal repaid in full, and a woman who rises from the ruins stronger than ever.​
