Until her dying breath, Gu Nian kept asking her little A Ning, "A Ning, did I do something wrong? Otherwise, why does everyone reject me? I'm always the one who gets abandoned. A Ning, I can't accept this! After I die, you should leave. Go far away, and don't let anyone find you." With that, Gu Nian slowly died in A Ning's arms.
