North and South: Parting on a Two-Way Road

[Sweet at first, angsty later + tragic ending + substitute romance + secret love + physical and emotional torment]

Jiang Zhinan was “forced” to sign a contract with Luo Bei and become Jiang Bei’s substitute lover. Who could have guessed that the original would return from abroad, still alive...

You were the sun I once chased,

The light that shone into my life.

I carved you into my heart,

Yet never dared to hope.

You were the arrow that pierced me,

And the claw that pushed me into the abyss.

I honored you above all,

Yet only dared to watch from the shadows.

And then,

I drifted south down the river,

While you took the road north.

So we parted,

Never to meet again.

“On this north-south road, we were always destined to be strangers.”
