Love You 不知如何爱你时 by Meng Xiao Er 梦筱二

Synopsis (Douban):

Yan Heyu once believed that no matter what happened, whether he needed it or not, as long as he didn’t intend to let go, no one else had the right to make decisions for him—including matters of the heart.

It wasn’t until Wen Di left that he finally understood the bitter taste of wanting to love someone but not knowing where to begin.

On the third Lunar New Year’s Eve after their breakup, fireworks filled the sky with dazzling colors.

When Yan Heyu dialed Wen Di’s number again, he felt a sudden surge of gratitude—grateful that he still had the chance to slowly work his way back into her heart.

Synopsis (jjwxc):

Everyone in their social circle knew that Yan Heyu was cold-hearted and emotionally detached. Among his childhood friends, he consistently ranked at the top of the “heartbreaker list.” However, over the past two years, his behavior toward Wen Di seemed different.

Just as Wen Di began to believe that she and Yan Heyu might have a happy ending, her Cinderella dream shattered—he became engaged to a woman from a wealthy, well-matched family.

Not only did he have a fiancée, but he also harbored feelings for another woman he had loved for many years.

Wen Di slapped him across the face.

After their breakup, Wen Di lived an exceptionally vibrant life, cycling through relationships—dating, breaking up, and dating again.

Yan Heyu went mad trying to interfere, attempting to use money to drive away Wen Di’s boyfriends. One boyfriend, who wasn’t short on cash, simply tossed the card back at him and added two hundred more as a retort.

That day, when Wen Di returned from a date with her boyfriend, Yan Heyu blocked her car at the entrance of her apartment complex. His icy glare could have sliced her in two. “Haven’t you had enough fun after two years?”

Wen Di: “None of your damn business!”

Later, Yan Heyu shamelessly pursued a unilateral reconciliation and spent a year by Wen Di’s side without any formal title.

One day, when she was in a good mood, he seized the opportunity to ask, “Can I make this official?”

By daylight, Wen Di turned cold and aloof, looking at him indifferently: “Why don’t you just ascend to heaven?”

One-Sentence Summary: The playboy spends half his time metaphorically in the crematorium. A prodigal son returns.
