On the same day, Ming Lian lost the child she was carrying and the father who had cherished her. It was all because of Pei Yanqing, the man she had secretly loved throughout her youth. She did not hate his coldheartedness; she only hated herself. She knew he saw her as nothing more than a rebound while he was between relationships, so why had she still thrown herself into the affair like a moth to a flame, taking advantage of his vulnerability and trying to claim the place in his heart that belonged only to the woman he loved? That woman had been right: this was her punishment. She was willing to endure the pain until the day she left this world. But why had Pei Yanqing appeared before her again five years later, pretending to be deeply in love? She was tired and wanted nothing more to do with him, but he simply refused to let her go.
