My Love Deserves to Die a Thousand Deaths

Before she turned eighteen, Jiang Ruan was the most beautiful and dazzling flower in all of Jiangcheng. Her life revolved entirely around the name Shen Yi. Even though he never hid his rejection of her, or even his dislike, Jiang Ruan's pursuit of Shen Yi knew neither exhaustion nor surrender.

Who could have guessed that in a single night, a storm would destroy that flower, leaving her trampled in the mud, filthy and rotting? Five years later, Jiang Ruan was released from prison. She stopped explaining and stopped begging Shen Yi to believe she was innocent. With a calm, unreadable gaze, she said, “Shen Yi, I'm guilty. I deserve to die. You shouldn't have been so generous back then and sentenced me to only five years in prison. I should have been executed.”
