[Rekindled Romance] [Runaway Pregnancy] [Secret Identity] [Mad Tycoon Side Plot] [Heroine's Growth] [Hero's Childhood Trauma]
When Qin Yanmo signed the divorce agreement, he deliberately misspelled his own name.
He was certain Shen Mianxing would come back to him. During their five years of marriage, she had been gentle and considerate, never crossing a line, like a glass of water that was always the perfect temperature. How could she really leave?
But that very night, she drove into the river.
He went mad. The whole city searched the waters, and he kept watch by the river day and night. Everyone told him to give up, but he refused to believe them.
Three months later, in another city, he saw a woman on the street. Bare-faced and dressed plainly, she was bending down to soothe a crying little girl. She had gained some weight, but her expression was more relaxed and gentle than he had ever seen before.
He rushed over and grabbed her wrist. "Shen Mianxing."
The woman looked up, her gaze as calm as if he were a stranger. "Sir, you've got the wrong person. My name is Su Mu."
She used a dead woman's identity to start over, opening a bed-and-breakfast, learning design, and raising her daughter alone. She was more herself than she had ever been before.
Only after finding her diary from when she was fifteen did he learn that she had loved him for twelve years. For five years, he ate the meals she cooked without ever asking who had made them. For five years, she waited for him to come home without uttering a single complaint. She gave him countless chances, and he failed to take even one.
Now he wanted to take her hand, but she had already pulled hers away.
"Qin Yanmo, I never had the divorce agreement notarized, so your signature doesn't count."
"I know."
"Then what makes you think I'd still want you?"
He was silent for a long time. "Because I'll spend the rest of my life doing just one thing."
