Qianmo Xuan’s New Book

At 16, Xu Ling gave up taking the high school entrance exam after her mother slapped her.

She met Chen Wen, her boyfriend, who was 12 years older than her, but her parents opposed their relationship too.

During their ten-year romance, she wavered more than once. But neither the vibrant college student she had an emotional affair with, nor Lin Yiming, her classmate who had always loved her, nor the company executive introduced to her by others could make her leave Chen Wen. In the end, their love bore fruit.

They walked down the aisle together, but married life was not as wonderful as they had imagined. After a long-distance relationship that kept them apart for a long time, they knew little about each other. In their marriage, they discovered flaws in one another that they could not tolerate, along with insurmountable conflicts caused by their age gap. Arguments became part of everyday life, and their lack of trust led them to give each other the silent treatment.

The unexpected death of their eldest son caused their conflict to erupt completely. Chen Wen's resentment and despair gradually cooled Xu Ling's heart.

A former colleague she trusted tricked her out of her 100,000 yuan in savings, which was lost for good.

Looking at his beautiful but simple-minded wife, Chen Wen wondered if he had gone blind. Xu Ling, seeing a man who didn't trust her and couldn't shoulder the burden for her, regretted it too. They divorced. After enduring a series of setbacks, Xu Ling struggled through the hardships of single motherhood with her younger son.

When she met Lin Yiming again, he too had just come out of a failed marriage. After spending a short time together, they married in a whirlwind.

“I'm the person in this world who loves you most. Only I can make you happy!” he often told her.
