[Olympic champion + jewelry designer + sweet before angst + dual timelines + tragic ending]
[Key point: the angst begins in Chapter 42]
Ling Mufeng, a dominant force on the Olympic stage, truly loved Shen Yiyao. But after his older brother died, a misunderstanding arose, and their relationship turned into a contract marriage.
He held all the cards, leaving her nowhere to turn.
Shen Yiyao took the blame for him, went to prison for him, and raised his child for him.
In return, she suffered emotional and physical torment, humiliation, and the loss of her loved ones.
Her older brother returned and cleared her name. Just as Captain Ling fell in love with her again, Shen Yiyao suddenly vanished.
Three years later, Captain Ling went abroad for a competition and saw a mermaid show at an aquarium...
“Yao Yao, long time no see.”
“Mr. Ling, you’ve got the wrong person.”
“How did you know my surname was Ling?”
After a long and painful pursuit, their misunderstandings gradually faded. But just as Ling Mufeng was about to propose, he learned that he had been used.
“Captain Ling, some broken things can’t be mended.”
