I was Gu Hesheng's unattainable love for fifty years. Only as he lay dying did I learn that he didn't love me.
He never stayed out overnight, handed over his entire salary, and was the perfect husband in everyone's eyes.
He just never once agreed to touch me.
When an earthquake brought the beams crashing down, he shoved me out of the way. With his last ounce of strength, he roared:
"If there's another life, please let Qiao Qiao and me be together. Stop hurting her!"
At his funeral, I was consumed by grief, but a crowd rushed in with IOUs and demanded I repay the debt.
It turned out he'd long since decided to die, and had borrowed ten million yuan, transferring it all to his niece and nephew.
The furious creditors beat me until I was covered in blood.
As I lay on the verge of death, his niece and nephew walked in wearing designer clothes and sneered:
"You killed my mom back then, and now you've killed my uncle. A jinx like you should have died long ago!"
As I died, Gu Hesheng's memorial tablet fell and struck me squarely on the head.
I slowly closed my eyes.
If I could live again, Gu Hesheng, I'd make sure you and my younger sister could be together.
