Selling point: It starts with "The Substitute" and ends with the crematorium - she teaches him how to love by leaving, and he spends the rest of his life building a lighthouse for her.
Lin Xiangwan has been lonely since he was a child, living with his elderly grandmother. He has a gentle and calm temperament. Shen Shiyan, an elite member of the Beijing circle, is cold and restrained, and his heart always holds the memory of Bai Yueguang, who died young, and his obsession is hard to get rid of.
When they met by chance, Lin Xiangwan's features and eyes looked exactly like an old friend in his heart. Shen Shiyan protected her by his side. For three years, he doted on her and showed favoritism to others, making everyone think that she was his exception and preference. But this tenderness is just a false illusion for his obsession.
All the good things were shattered on Shen Shiyan's birthday. At that time, Lin Xiangwan, who was six weeks pregnant, closed her gallery, made cakes with her own hands, and rushed to his birthday party with great joy, hoping to be with him every year.
Before she even stepped into the banquet, she heard Shen Shiyan confess that he only kept her because she was clean, docile and worry-free, which was the most suitable emotional sustenance. A few words crushed her three years of sincerity and dedication.
Heartbroken, Lin Xiangwan left the pregnancy test sheet, cut off all ties, and walked away quietly.
Three years passed by, and in a small town near the sea in Fujian Province, Lin Xiangwan lived a stable life with his cute daughter, running a flower shop, bright and calm, and shining brightly. And Shen Shiyan, who suddenly woke up, fell into endless regret and traveled across the mountains and seas to find her. Losing his dignity and arrogance, he humbly ran for redemption: "Xiang Wan, I owe you a life, and I owe myself a sincere heart."
The long road to pursue his wife made him completely understand: the substitute was never her, it was him who was trapped in the past and refused to escape. There is no need to miss the old shore when you return to the boat. Only by staying together sincerely and taking root in love can you be the destination for the rest of your life.
