When she was four years old, she knelt outside Shen Zui's window and heard him say: "Women should also read more books."
When she was fourteen years old, she married into the Shen family. On her wedding night, she only said: "Go to bed, I still have books to read."

He didn't know either - she never stopped waiting for him.
——Not waiting for him to come back, but waiting for him to see: She lived every word he wrote.
