After ten years of obsession, Su Qingyan made herself the most inconspicuous backdrop in Gu Yanchen's life. She washed her hands and made soup for him, blocked open and hidden arrows for him, restrained all her sharp edges for him, and only hoped that he would look back. But his heart was always attached to Bai Yueguang and Lin Weiwei, and he scorned her efforts. Even in the darkest moment when she lost her child and her father passed away, he was still caring for others.
When Su Qingyan disappeared completely with scars all over her body, Gu Yanchen was shocked to realize that every warmth, every pocket, and every inch of stability in those ten years came from this woman who he had abandoned like a pair of worn shoes. The blood and tears in the diary, the life-saving money hidden, the scar on his arm that protected him from the knife... The truth was like a dull knife, cutting into his soul.
When they reunited three years later, she changed her name to "Su Nian" and had the gentle and reliable Shen Zhiheng by her side, and the light in her eyes no longer shined for him. Gu Yanchen put aside all his pride and waited for her all night in the rain. He was as humble as dust in front of her, but she only said lightly: "Mr. Gu, my love has been burned out. Your atonement has nothing to do with me."
From then on, the all-powerful Mr. Gu became a joke in the circle - he demolished half of his business empire in exchange for her return, guarding the empty house and recalling her warmth over and over again, but he could only be gnawed by bone-gnawing regret every night until dawn. Some damage, once caused, can never be undone.
