“Shu He? I got tired of her ages ago. These days, I’m just playing around with her...”
Years of love for Su Song shattered in an instant, leaving Shu He heartbroken.
After love betrayed her, she also learned that her father wanted to marry her off in exchange for a business partnership.
Betrayed by both love and family, Shu He was touched by a ray of light, brought to her by fate.
“We’re a perfect match: equal in status, handsome and beautiful, made for each other. Won’t you at least consider it?”
Pei Yichen made Shu He an offer.
On impulse, Shu He went with him to register their marriage. She expected them to be respectful but distant spouses, but little by little, she realized that the aloof, dignified business magnate everyone else knew looked at her with eyes full of love. Things didn’t seem quite so simple...
Seeing Shu He walk away without looking back, Su Song panicked.
He got down on his knees and begged her to forgive him.
“Turn around and look at me. I was wrong...”
“You were wrong, and there’s no going back.”
Pei Yichen had always been praised as the kind of child everyone else’s parents wished they had. To outsiders, he seemed like nothing ever troubled him.
But only he knew that for ten long years, he had been waiting for someone.
“Why me?”
“Because I love you just as you are.”
The seed planted more than a decade ago finally blossoms and bears fruit today.
