After 40 years of marriage, I finally collapsed from exhaustion after caring for my paralyzed mother-in-law.
While families across the city celebrated New Year's Eve, I was left to starve to death in an old house where no one came to look after me.
My only thought before I died was that my remains should be returned to my hometown.
My son was so busy he was never around, yet he gave my heart to his wife's beloved first love,
and even abandoned my body.
Outside the operating room, the mother and son heard that the man's surgery had been a success and wept with joy.
“Mom, that damn old man finally got what he deserved. He'll never get in the way of our family being together again.”
“Exactly. If he hadn't still been useful, I would've divorced him ages ago.”
I felt both horrified and heartbroken.
I spent half my life caring for them, only to end up like this.
When I opened my eyes again, I had somehow returned to the day I went to Qi Shuqin's home for a blind date with her.
