『Wife-Chasing Crematorium』
GL / Older Woman / Wife-Chasing Crematorium / Bittersweet Jealousy Read fewer of those romance novels — nobody gets a happy ending. You're really loud. Keep it down. I never chase after my own wife. Too undignified. To everyone in the capital, Ye Wenran comes across as cold and detached — the kind of person who couldn't care less about her arranged-marriage wife. And honestly, that's not far from the truth, on the surface. Whether it's attending galas, spending private time together, or anywhere else they happen to be, Ye Wenran has never once shown her arranged wife a scrap of tenderness. All anyone ever sees is that default distance between them — which most people take as a sign that these two don't have much of a future together. Ye Wenran never explains herself. Never defends herself. Never pushes back. But she alone knows the truth: behind all that coldness lies thousands upon thousands of sleepless deliberations and the hardest decision she's ever made. Keeping you at arm's length isn't because she dislikes you or doesn't care. It's because, after weighing every option more times than she can count, this is the safest, most reliable way she knows how to protect you. What she doesn't know is that you saw through her act a long time ago — and stopped waiting for her to change her mind and finally stand by your side. Image source: licensed buyout.
