The Powerful Family's Heroine Decides to Let Go, and the Big Shot Goes Mad

A love born of bitter hatred + unrequited love turned mutual + children of powerful families + the long road to winning her back

"After all that hatred, the only person Yu Ning hated was herself, for loving Ji Shaoqian too much."

A casual gesture from Ji Shaoqian made Yu Ning fall for him in secret for years.

Later, Yu Ning joined Huading as a trainee and became a singer signed to Ji Shaoqian's company.

He helped her make music and stayed with her in the recording studio. He shielded her from the drinking parties and endless rounds of socializing, protected her when an elevator malfunctioned and plunged downward, and kept her safe from Hong Kong reporters hounding her. He helped her build connections and rise to the top, until she became a hugely popular singer in the music industry.

But just as Yu Ning reached the height of success, Ji Shaoqian announced his engagement.

After Ji Shaoqian got engaged, Yu Ning released a single and announced her retirement from the industry. The moment "The Road Ends Without You" came out, it swept the music world. Everyone knew the song.

But Yu Ning disappeared from the music scene.

Later, someone posted a photo on social media of Yu Ning with a man.

From New World in Hong Kong to the Potala Palace in Tibet, Ji Shaoqian raced all the way to find her.

The road may end with no one there, but it can't end without you.

Extremely slow-burn, with an old-fashioned writing style. Probably best not to read it.
