In Shi Caifu’s dream, she is the mistress caught trying to trick the marquise’s wife into taking in her child.
In the end, her husband abandons her, and her own child strangles her.
It seems a woman like her was never meant to live in this world.
But all she wants is to live a good life.
When she wakes from the dream this time, Shi Caifu wants to run far away.
Xie Linzhao can’t understand why his sweet, gentle mistress says she loves him, yet keeps drifting farther away.
He thinks she’s just throwing a tantrum.
When she really vanishes later, taking even their son with her,
he finally realizes that, in all the world, no one suits him better than her.
He searches every nook and cranny until he finds her, only to discover that the once delicate, sweet girl has completely changed.
And what’s more… there are plenty of red-eyed men around her, all crying.
Even Shi Caifu’s son can’t help bursting into tears. “Mother, do you really not want me anymore?”
