Lin Wan gave her heart to Li Chenyuan, only to receive a prison forged by his own hands in return.
She gave up the prestige of her wealthy family to help him build his business, enduring hardship and even ruining her stomach without a single complaint. She thought he was her salvation, never realizing she was only a substitute for his beloved Su Wei, whom she happened to resemble.
When Su Wei returned, one false accusation was all it took for Li Chenyuan to push Lin Wan into the abyss with his own hands. Three years in prison extinguished every last trace of her love and wore away her already battered stomach, ruined because of him: terminal stomach cancer.
On the day she was released, the truth struck like thunder: Su Wei’s story of being “forced apart” was a lie told to climb the social ladder, and Lin Wan was actually her half-sister, the very person she hated most! He was consumed by regret, but all he could touch was her frail body and the cold diagnosis in her hands.
Li Chenyuan did everything he could to make amends, begging forgiveness through tears and pleading on his knees.
But it was too late.
Lin Wan quietly closed her eyes in his arms, which had come too late, a faint, cool smile of release on her lips. At last, she had escaped this ordeal disguised as love.
From then on, only desolation remained in Mr. Li’s world.
He had buried the love of his life with his own hands, and buried the rest of his life along with her. His beloved became a joke, and the beauty mark on his heart turned into grass growing over her grave.
He kept vigil by the cold tombstone, day after day, offering up his soul-gnawing remorse in tribute to the love he had destroyed with his own hands, a love he could never make amends for.
(My lady, the grass on your grave has grown tall again...)
