Love's Tangled Web

Ye Qian's biological mother and Gu Jingchen's mother were best friends, and they arranged a marriage pact for their children when they were young. Ye Qian and Gu Jingchen grew up as childhood sweethearts. However, after Ye Qian's mother passed away, she was sent to live in the countryside. Gu Jingchen's mother took young Gu Jingchen to visit Ye Qian in the countryside, and Gu Jingchen even gave his bracelet to Ye Qian, promising to come back for her when he grew up and marry her. Gu Jingchen's mother also adored Ye Qian. Fifteen years later, Gu Jingchen's mother proposed to the Ye family, and Ye Qian married into the Gu family. However, Gu Jingchen had forgotten his childhood promise and was unwilling to marry Ye Qian, as he was deeply infatuated with his savior, Yuan Bao. Yuan Bao always wore a mask, so Gu Jingchen didn’t know what she looked like, nor did he realize that Yuan Bao was actually his wife, Ye Qian. Moreover, Gu Jingchen believed that his wife, Ye Qian, was a gold-digger who only cared about the Gu family's wealth. After their separation in childhood, Ye Qian had no idea what Gu Jingchen looked like. Additionally, after their marriage, Gu Jingchen avoided her, so Ye Qian didn’t know that the mysterious figure Yeying was actually Gu Jingchen. Due to these misunderstandings, the two of them ended up in numerous conflicts. Gu Jingchen was determined to divorce Ye Qian. Later, Ye Qian finally met Gu Jingchen and discovered that he was Yeying. She was both shocked and excited. Ye Qian initially wanted to tell Gu Jingchen that she was Yuan Bao, but she overheard Gu Jingchen and his friends speaking ill of her, which deeply hurt her. This made Ye Qian doubt whether she was even Gu Jingchen's type. She thought that his affection for Yuan Bao might just be admiration for her skills or curiosity about her mysterious identity. After all, when she stood before him as Ye Qian, he only showed disdain and impatience. In despair, Ye Qian decided not to reveal her identity as Yuan Bao and agreed to Gu Jingchen's request for a divorce. In the end, the misunderstandings were resolved, and the two realized that they had always loved each other.
