I married the upstart businessman Lu Chenzhou on behalf of my sister who had escaped from marriage.
At the wedding, he put a diamond necklace on me without any expression: "Don't get me wrong, this is a contract marriage."
Three years later, the terms of going their separate ways were written into the agreement, and he specifically added: "Remember, don't fall in love with me."
Later, when I was packing my luggage and preparing to leave, he held my wrist tightly.
He rubbed the necklace from back then with his fingertips: "If you break the contract, you will have to pay interest..."
"For example, it will take a lifetime to pay it back."
