Long ago, when I was an innocent little girl, I fell deeply in love with Gu Zehua, the older boy who lived next door. We often played together by the water, but fate had other plans. One day, I accidentally slipped and fell in. After that terrifying incident, Gu Zehua became extremely anxious, afraid that anything might happen to me again. From that day on, he stayed by my side wherever I went, becoming my strongest protector. But life is always full of surprises. One day, out of the blue, Gu Zehua told me his family was about to move away. Before leaving, he gathered his courage and confessed that he had always loved me. Faced with such heartfelt affection, I was at a loss and could only gently turn him down, telling him honestly, “You’re just like my own older brother.” As it turned out, she also had a fiancé, Bai Qian, to whom she had been promised in a family-arranged marriage. Who could have guessed that this seemingly refined man had already betrayed her, secretly carrying on with her cousin, Wen Yue? Together, they carefully plotted to stage an accident that would kill her and let them seize her fortune.
Before closing her eyes for the last time, countless thoughts rushed through her mind... What did it all mean? Were there other unknown forces silently turning the wheels of fate? And how would Gu Zehua find his true place amid this tangled web of emotions? Perhaps only time could reveal the answers...
