Five years ago, Zhan Xingzhou met the woman of his dreams. She was free, captivating, and unconstrained by rules. Everyone loved her: men, women, the elderly, and children...
Zhan Xingzhou was a notorious playboy who had been with countless women, yet he could never have the younger sister of his friend, the one woman he loved. He never expected Mo Lan to approach him first, smiling as she said, “Zhan Xingzhou, I have a feeling you won’t be able to forget me. So let’s be together, until the day I leave.”
Who could have known her words would come true? He would indeed etch her into his heart, and never forget her until the day he died.
Mo Lan, the youngest daughter of the Mo family, was a delicate flower raised in a hothouse, pampered from childhood and cherished by everyone.
She had three relationships in her life.
At sixteen, she had a brief romance with Chu Jue, an unconventional young man who stood tall and straight like a bamboo stalk.
Later, Chu Jue died for love, and she grew up.
At eighteen, she fell for Zhan Xingzhou’s misty eyes and willingly became addicted to him, only to choose to study abroad three months later.
Love had never been the whole of her life.
The last time was on a plane, where she met a foreign duke with a disability. After a polite exchange and a glass of orange juice, he kept her imprisoned for five years.
When she returned home, her life had changed completely.
Only after the Western devil who called her “my darling little orchid” and destroyed her beautiful life was finally dead did she stand before everyone, unbowed and unapologetic, and declare, “My life needs no explanation. The fact that I’m standing here is victory enough.”
