Ruan Qinghe waited for Jiang Xubai for seven years.
From the age of twenty to twenty-seven, she spent the best years with a man she saw less than three times a year. They had a baby engagement and got along as boyfriend and girlfriend, but they still couldn't get married - because he said he was busy with work, because he said he would wait a little longer, and because he said the country was more important than the love between children.
She thought he just didn't understand love.
It wasn't until the woman named Lin Zhixia appeared that she understood - it wasn't that he didn't understand, he just didn't want to understand her.
She knew that Lin Zhixia liked him, knew that he knew it but never refused, and knew that everyone hid it from her for them. At that moment she suddenly realized: the person she had been waiting for for seven years did not need her to wait at all.
So she made the boldest decision in her life - to marry someone else.
Jiang Xubai finally understood what she had lost on her wedding day. He put down all his dignity to try to stay, but she just looked at him calmly and said, "Jiang Xubai, it's too late."
Later, her marriage was not happy, and her husband was indifferent to her and treated her indifferently. He thought this was the second chance given to him by God, and pursued her like crazy, trying to get her back.
But when she was finally divorced and finally free, facing his passionate confession, she just smiled.
"Jiang Xubai, I don't love you anymore. This time, I want to live for myself."
