[Both leads are faithful + possessive love + deep, painful romance + groveling pursuit]
As soon as Wen Yu returns to the country, Ming Zhan demands to “inspect the goods” because he suspects she’s done unspeakable things with someone else.
She never expected his inspection to be so humiliating, but she has no choice but to grit her teeth and accept it.
After all, the Wen family owes the Ming family. Money can be repaid, but there’s no way to measure a debt of gratitude.
He binds her tightly with money, marriage, and mutual interests.
He says, “You can never leave me or abandon me again.”
*
Only after Wen Yu has paid off all her “debts” does she finally have a reason to refuse his brazen possessiveness.
She says, “Ming Zhan, we’re even now. Let me go.”
The man who loved her to the marrow and hated her to the bone panics.
“Wen Yu, you’re so cruel. You paid off what you owed me, then went and ran up a new debt. How are you going to pay that back?”
She smiles coolly. “Do I owe you? I’ll repay you with your regrets.”
In the end, she leaves without a shred of mercy.
Lost in the vast sea of humanity, Ming Zhan exhausts himself searching for her and weeps until his heart breaks.
He can never find his little Yu again.
The first part is very well written, but the second part is a bit unclear as to what the author wants to express. Alas, it is destined to be a bad relationship, destined by God.
