When Shen Yizhou met Gu Yan, he was still a thorny gangster. He was ten years older than her, but he lived more recklessly than anyone else. She was like holding a spark of fire, using her five years of youth to help him move from a messy rental house to a bright office, pushing him to the height he wanted inch by inch.
Others said she was stupid for spending her best years gambling on an unknown quantity. But only Shen Yizhou knew that the fragility with which he let down his guard in those late nights, and the reflection in his eyes when he succeeded, made her feel that everything was worth it.
She walked with him through the unknown, watching him stand up from the mud, but when he finally stood firm, she found that the two of them had been separated by time and reality. He became what others called "Mr. Gu", and the flame she tried her best to lift failed to light her own way.
A ten-year age difference is a gap, and five years of support is an obsession. This companionship that started in humble beginnings ended up being burned into ashes that no one cares about in the grand success. (Adapted from the author's personal experience)
