Xu Yaqian never dreamed she would fall madly in love with a man she had never even met, especially one fifteen years older than her. But she never regretted that "you were born before I was, and by the time I was born, you were already old," because she had always been drawn to mature, steady, charming older men.
At the darkest point in her life, a man named Xi Bingfeng helped her, cared for her, comforted her, and doted on her.
He had not only a one-in-a-million soul, but also a great sense of humor. He was devoted in love, mature, steady, and charming.
Xu Yaqian fell for him and grew deeply attached to him, unable to pull herself away. But Xi Bingfeng's heart belonged to his fiancée, who had died fifteen years earlier.
He and his fiancée had grown up together as childhood sweethearts and had also served as comrades-in-arms. No one could compare with the bond they shared: the pure, passionate love of their youth, the comradeship forged through hardship, and the familial devotion of a couple who had weathered life together.
Fifteen years had passed, yet he still could not forget her. His love for her had crossed both time and the boundary between life and death.
So before this wager on love had even begun, Xu Yaqian had already lost completely.
When Xu Yaqian wanted to step aside and be nothing more than his confidante, he said:
"Girl, I've already fallen in love with you. I know you won't believe me now, but if you're willing to take the gamble, I won't let you lose!"
