Even If I Can’t Be With You Until the End

Xu Ke’s first love was as fleeting as a night-blooming cereus, fading away in silent stillness. Long after Shen Mu left, she finally accepted Lin Ge. Just when she thought her life had settled into place for good, Shen Mu returned and interfered. He said, “There was once a possibility in this world that could have made me give you up, but it no longer exists.” The truth he kept so deeply hidden had always been lurking in the wound Xu Ke suffered back then. Torn between family and love, Xu Ke was abandoned by Lin Ge once again. This time, Shen Mu steadfastly opened his arms to her. She summoned the courage she thought had all but died, not knowing whether she was heading toward warmth or an abyss... Shen Mu left without a word once again, making it seem as though their love had no chance of recovery. But who could tell her the things she would otherwise never have known?

In the time she knew nothing about, the man she thought she had loved wrongly had been silently protecting her with his life all along.

My dear, you don’t know why I left you. It’s only because I no longer have time to love you.
