[Two-sided groveling pursuit of a wife + devoted couple + a saintly Buddhist falling from his pedestal + healing and growth]
Ji Qingzhou couldn’t understand why Cheng Yan, who had followed him for ten years, had suddenly given up her obsession with him and turned around to marry his useless nephew. When he received the wedding invitation, he merely laughed scornfully at her. “You’re asking for trouble.”
In the end, no one could have imagined that the aloof Master Ji Qingzhou, who guarded his reputation, kept to himself, and was utterly ruthless, would abandon every advantage in the marketplace and fall completely from his pedestal, publicly pleading for the love of his own nephew’s wife.
He lowered himself beneath her, willingly became an ant, went against the current, spent a fortune, and cast aside his principles and dignity. He had only one request
“Cheng Yan, come back to me.”
[Even the proudest people will debase themselves for love. In that moment, dignity is worth nothing.]
2. Cheng Yan became an orphan in a wealthy family at fifteen. She saw humanity at its worst and experienced life’s warmth and coldness. Ji Qingzhou taught her to endure.
At twenty-five, Cheng Yan became a married woman, focused on her goals, and returned to the top. Ji Qingzhou taught her to let go.
[Some things don’t need to be forced. What is yours will be yours.]
