Pei Yanli and I were childhood sweethearts, and our families arranged our marriage.
After we married, we were deeply in love. During an accident, he even gave me his only chance to survive.
After Pei Yanli died, we found a diary among his belongings. It recorded the three years after he fell off a cliff and lost his memory, when he had been deeply in love with a woman.
But in the end, his parents forced them apart, and he married me.
In a corner no one knew about, he had always protected that girl.
At the funeral, Pei's mother was overcome with grief. "Yanli, it's all my fault. If I had agreed to let you marry Lin Yu back then, would you still be alive?"
Pei's father glared at me with hatred. "He fell off that cliff trying to save you, and then he used his life to protect you in the car crash. Why have you always brought him nothing but pain? Why couldn't you have been the one to die?"
Yes, why couldn't it have been me...
I looked at Pei Yanli's smiling face on the gravestone and threw myself against it.
When I opened my eyes again, I was back at the time he had just been brought home from a small fishing village.
This time, I chose to let him have the life he wanted.
