Xu Qinghuan once believed that Jiang Jinye was the only light in her life. When she was eighteen, he came to her beneath a sky full of stars, promising her a peaceful life and years free from worry. But a carefully plotted conspiracy made her the scapegoat for the bloody vengeance that destroyed her family.
With eyes bloodshot, Jiang Jinye keeps her imprisoned by his side, carving into her heart with the cruelest words. “Xu Qinghuan, you owe me. You’ll spend the rest of your life paying me back.” He destroys her pride and clips her wings, never realizing that every act of cruelty leaves a fatal scar on both their hearts.
She exhausts all her love, only to receive his indifference and suspicion in return. He tries to confirm his feelings by possessing her, but when he finally looks back, nothing remains but desolation. When the truth comes to light, he searches for her like a madman, only to find the farewell letter she left behind.
The greatest pain, it turns out, is not never having loved, but loving to the very end and personally pushing each other into the abyss. Her heart has become a grave, and she is gone. Jiang Jinye spends the rest of his life in regret, finally understanding that “Qinghuan has crossed the river, and Jinye can never return” is a calamity he will never overcome. Above the heart’s grave, no flowers will ever bloom again.
