Lin Qingqian: It wasn't until I met you that I understood my heart would recognize the person I love before my memories could.

“Take me with you. I’m willing to follow you and do anything.”
My voice trembled, so faint it was almost inaudible.
The wound on my neck had started bleeding again as I struggled. My face was pale as paper.
“Fire.”
To everyone’s astonishment, Shen Fan used his lighter to set fire to the contract worth one hundred thousand silver dollars.
“I can put the factory matter aside for now. But from this moment on, she belongs to me.”
Amid the flames and the ruins, I looked at him.
The firelight cast a striking glow over the handsome features of his face, making him look all the more noble and distinguished.
That was how we first met, and where it all began.
I was seventeen that year.

My body sank lower and lower as Shen Fan’s hand slowly slipped away. Only our fingers remained barely hooked together.
My eyes were full of affection and longing.
“Third Master... I have never... regretted it for a single moment.”
“Qingqian...”
“It’s just a shame I never got to see the plum blossoms bloom... But, Third Master, at least now we can both be free...”
This was also the last thing I could do for him as Red Umbrella. After this, I would be only Qingqian.
Super pretty, the heroine is amazing
