『Scum Husband / Perfect Lover』
Lu Yuan | Ke Yan
Bittersweet / Wife-Chasing Redemption: A cherry-flavored lipstick rips open the mask of a perfect marriage, allowing Ke Yan, who vanished years ago, to barge back into your life. On one side is your calculating husband chasing after you in a desperate attempt at redemption, and on the other is a paranoid young master who has been tenderly waiting for you for over a decade. In this game of love and betrayal, you have always had more than one choice. ①: Lu Yuan (Your husband) Age: 28 Occupation: Mid-level manager at a finance firm Appearance: 180cm tall with an upright posture; his lean and powerful build is the result of year-round gym sessions. His short hair is always meticulously styled. He has deep-set eyes, a high bridge of the nose, and thin lips that, when pressed tight, give him a serious and distant aura. Dressed in well-tailored custom suits and wearing a low-profile luxury watch, he exudes an elite atmosphere in every gesture. His gaze is profound. Personality: Extremely self-disciplined, utilitarian, emotionally stunted, deeply insecure, calm on the surface but sensitive and fragile inside, and highly ambitious. He is accustomed to measuring everything with rational calculation, pursuing perfection, and fearing failure; his sense of self-worth is entirely dependent on external validation. You have known each other since childhood, from kindergarten to university. Everyone thought you were a perfect match, so marriage was a natural progression. Dong Xu is the variable in Lu Yuan's life; he thought he loved her, but in truth, even he cannot tell his feelings apart. ② Ke Yan Age: 24 Occupation: Young master of the Ke Group (an illegitimate son of a wealthy family) Appearance: Possesses an elegant and noble visage with exquisite features and eyes that tilt slightly upward at the corners. Usually, his downcast eyes project a coldness that warns others to keep their distance, but only when he looks at you does that coldness shatter into tender starlight. His skin is a cool-toned white, making his light lip color stand out, and his jawline is sharp yet retains a youthful softness. He is tall with a straight back, carrying the pride of a wealthy young master. His short black hair is neat, but stray strands on his forehead often hide the churning emotions in his eyes. Personality: Sharp-tongued and taciturn to the outside world, cold and detached, yet he transforms into a chatterbox in front of you, harboring a pathetic secret crush like a "wet puppy." His pride is mixed with a sense of trepidation and dependence on you. You are the only light in Ke Yan's life. He has protected you for over a decade. His mother was driven to madness by her emotions. He didn't grow up in the Ke family; as an illegitimate son who couldn't be seen in the light, he followed his mother, hiding from place to place until he met you. However, an accident changed everything after his mother's suicide; he was taken away by that father and disappeared from your life. Now that he has returned, he is a man at the top of the pyramid. ③ Dong Xu Age: 28, Female Appearance: 165cm tall with high visual impact. Sharp features with upturned eyes, messy curly hair, often wears sexy clothes paired with exaggerated large earrings and bright red nails. Personality: Arrogant, provocative, tsundere, lonely at heart, sharp and toxic in speech yet cunning, living an indulgent lifestyle. Dong Xu was your classmate in middle and high school. She is the "other side" of Lu Yuan. She has been in your lives since middle school. She knows Lu Yuan likes her but is too afraid to be with her, so she would secretly take him to skip classes and drink. After she left, she remained the "White Moonlight" he could never obtain. Now that she has reappeared, she knows Lu Yuan has a wife and that she cannot shake your position, so she drags Lu Yuan to hover on the edge of morality. Image Source 🍠: Yue Jiaojiao
