Obsession

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

Before their arranged marriage, Min Xizhi learned that Fu Yanzhou had feelings for someone else. He had secretly inquired about that woman’s well-being, showing a tender side she had never seen before. During their wedding, he asked, “Are you sure you want to marry?” Min Xizhi smiled and replied, “Why not?” He said, “Are you willing to confine yourself in a marriage devoid of emotions, only for the sake of benefits?” She didn’t want that, so she would make him fall in love with her and witness his tender side once again.

However, two years into their marriage, she still couldn’t make him like her. He remained cool and distant. Min Xizhi decided to end her obsession and absurdity towards Fu Yanzhou, presenting him with divorce papers.

Fu Yanzhou hesitated, but ultimately signed them. Concerned, he asked, “What are your plans now?” Min Xizhi didn’t reply aloud, thinking to herself, “From now on, I’ll no longer secretly love you and forget about you.”

After the divorce, Fu Yanzhou inexplicably couldn’t let go of Min Xizhi. He asked his secretary, “What has Xixi been up to lately?” Pausing for a moment, he continued, “How is she doing emotionally?” Secretary: “I heard she’s been going on blind dates.”

Fu Yanzhou fell silent.

A few weeks later, Min Xizhi confronted him, “Why did you ruin my blind dates?” Fu Yanzhou: “I’m sorry for what happened in the past.” He said in a low voice, “Xixi, would you like to start over with me?” Min Xizhi was momentarily stunned. “There’s no need. I’ve already moved on.”

Fu Yanzhou said, “It’s okay if you’ve moved on. I’ll keep you in my heart.”

In the eyes of others, she’s a proud and spoiled young lady, and the one thing Fu Yan Zhou dislikes the most is someone with a proud personality like hers. She was the one who proposed the arranged marriage, thinking that Fu Yan Zhou would refuse.

After marriage, she suggested sleeping with her head on his arm. Fu Yan Zhou disagreed, “You slept with my left arm last night, and it’s affecting my golf swing today.”

Min Xi said, “Then I’ll sleep on your right arm tonight.”

Fu Yan Zhou: “…” He pointed to the other side of the bed, “Sleep over there.”

Min Xi’s self-esteem was hurt, so she lay down with her back to him. Fu Yan Zhou sighed and pulled her back into his embrace, offering his arm for her to rest on.

After two years of marriage, Min Xi felt that she still couldn’t make Fu Yan Zhou fall in love with her; he only indulged her. She decided to end her years of infatuation with Fu Yan Zhou and handed him a divorce agreement.

Fu Yan Zhou hesitated for a long time, but eventually signed it and asked, “What are your plans now?”

Min Xi didn’t respond. But she thought to herself: I won’t secretly love you anymore; I’ll forget you.

After the divorce, Fu Yan Zhou couldn’t let go of Min Xi. One early morning, his secretary called him and nervously reported, “Min Xi has been busy with blind dates lately.” He thought he misheard, “Busy with what?”

Secretary: “Busy… with blind dates.”

When Min Xi was about to go on a blind date, Fu Yan Zhou intercepted her. She couldn’t believe that this man would actively pursue someone. He had flown back from another city in the middle of the night and appeared at her doorstep early in the morning. He looked at her and said, “Xi Xi, do you want to start over with me?”

PS: A sweet story. Male lead doesn’t have a white moonlight.

I quite liked the other novel written by this author, so I thought I would enjoy this novel as well. Unfortunately, this is not the case.

From the very start of the novel, MC came off as petty, selfish, and spoiled. She loved ML for so long but when she got married to him, it was under the pretense of a business marriage. So why does MC go into the marriage expecting the ML to fall in love with her and treat her as if she is the love of his... more>> life? Even if he does not love her, he respects her and treats her well, but she expects more and keeps pushing for more (all the while he is unaware that she loves him) and then gets dissapointed when he fails her expectations. I do enjoy an unrequited love plot line, but MC does not express her feelings at all and hides her love. She is not generous or courageous in her feelings and at the very first moment hardship, she creates a scenario in her head, misunderstands him and herself, and then just decides to quit. This is at the same time typical of hr character, to be unreasonable, but also at the same time out of character as her character is heavily built upon her affection and secret love of the ML.

I honestly feel very bad for the ML, as he has to deal with her unreasonableness but the author makes it seem like he is in the wrong and that MCs actions are justified and to be expected. He is actually written as a good character but since this novel seems to be a wish fulfillment for the author who also might have experienced unrequited love, ML just has to suffer. Sorry guy.

Anyway, this novel was frustrating and I did try to finish it. I got almost to the end but then ML had to beg her to come back (I usually love that part but it just felt really wrong as he didn't even do anything wrong on the first place) I had to stop reading, it was making me upset.

The big "misunderstanding" that led to their divorce is honestly such a good metaphor for the entire novel. MC works in secret for 1 year preparing for this project at MLs company, but ML decides to give the job to a friend (who people think is his white moonlight but she really isn't) as she needs a favour and since it does not conflict with MC's job, he give it to her. He specifically considered whether MC would go for the project and since it is totally not in her usual field, he gives it to someone else. MC finds out and then deletes all her hard work and then decided to divorce him. ML explains what happens but MC still wants a divorce. MC had a secret love/project, wanting to get closer to ML and then gets upset/divorced when ML does something without telling her. I don't care if MC has had an unrequited love for many years. She can't communicate and poor ML is left to deal with a moody, unpredictable and stubborn idiot who always thinks she is in the right. <<less

I liked the angst and misunderstading of the story which led to second chance at love that I had first-timed MTLed a novel just to finish it.

Anyone can relate of love not being reciprocated. Which the FL had suffered and eventually had given up that love for the ML, yet the ML had started to fall in love but went through separation which do them good as it made their feelings for each other to grow deeper.

Their falling apart was bound to happen with the misunderstanding piling up which was... more>> seamlessly written and not just put through for the sake of having a misunderstanding.

You may ask why don't they communicate their feelings with one another? They were communicating but here lies how the characters were written and their personalities were put beforehand and been emphasised by the author. That caused the misunderstanding to grow.

The side characters have also personalities of their own and it was not just about the MC's which made the story more alive. My only chagrin it ended too abruptly for me.

Well this story just showed "love is sweeter the second time around." <<less

i like the build up of their love story; from hope to disappointment to mutual love. The FL is do cute but it’s so strange how the perception of her by ML is so distorted. Luckily ML found way to redemption. The story is focused on the their love story. The beauty of this novel lies on how despite sharing their feelings they are not able to truly communicate until they separate and reset their biases.
