In the eighth year of our marriage, Gu Yuchen's much younger family friend, his cherished first love, returned from abroad.
He pitied her for having no family after her husband's death, and treated her with endless kindness and affection.
When I caught the two of them embracing and kissing, I confronted him:
“Are you choosing her or me?!”
His eyes filled with disappointment. “Jiang Yuxue, you're jealous even of my family? Have you no conscience?”
“There's a limit to how unreasonable you can be!”
On New Year's Eve, she staged a fall down the stairs. Gu Yuchen locked me in an unfinished building on the outskirts, then turned around and took his auntie out for Western food.
On New Year's Day, my illness flared up. I begged him to let me out, but he only took his auntie skiing on Changbai Mountain.
On the second day of the new year, he demanded that I apologize, but by then I was already dead on the outskirts...
