He was the secret she had kept throughout her youth. She loved him carefully, humbling herself until she was lower than dust, while he turned a blind eye and even crushed her sincere feelings with his own hands.
He enjoyed everything she gave, took advantage of her devotion, coldly rejected her confession, then forcibly tried to keep her from leaving.
He told her to stop dreaming, yet called her in the dead of night and, in the gentlest voice, said the cruelest things.
She gave up her dignity for him, let down her family, and poured out her whole heart, only to receive one deception and humiliation after another.
Only when her heart had gone cold and she walked away did he chase after her like a madman, eyes red, and ask:
"Didn't you say you would love me for the rest of your life?"
She simply smiled softly.
"Tang Wenyi, I don't love you anymore."
This time, she wouldn't look back.
