Long-haired, sickly, beautiful, tragic gong x sharp-tongued professor shou who goes from love to hate and back to love
“You’ll spoil me,” Shen Shiwen once said, resting his forehead against the other man’s.
“Then I’ll spoil you rotten.” Jiang Yu kissed the tip of his nose.
That prediction came true before his twenty-sixth birthday.
The car accident came without warning. His family’s rival had tampered with Shen Yubai’s brakes. Shen’s sister-in-law, who was six months pregnant, was in the car with him, and all three lives were lost on the bridge spanning the river. When Shen Shiwen rushed to the hospital, Qin Yan had just come out of the operating room. His white coat was stained with blood as he shook his head.
At the funeral, Shen Shiwen didn’t shed a single tear.
“I’ve had enough.” His voice was calm. “The Shen family needs a marriage alliance. Professor Jiang, let’s part on good terms.”
The light in Jiang Yu’s eyes shattered bit by bit, until only a cold sneer remained. “Shen Shiwen, you’re ruthless.”
“Why put yourself through this?”
Shen Shiwen rolled his prayer beads between his fingers and looked toward the ancestral hall. “I deserve it.”
He didn’t know that Jiang Yu was suffering too.
“You think dying can atone for your sins? I want you alive: suffering, for a long, long time, while we settle the score for these five years together.” Love had never left; it had only changed form, growing unseen in the dark like a vine.
"I once watched you during a lunar eclipse, thinking the night would last forever. Only later did I understand that once the eclipse passes, the moon shines even brighter." But I don’t know whether my moon would still be willing to light this broken body.
“I thought pushing you away was loving you. I never realized that trapping each other was the real hell.”
Sin and punishment, love and hate. Can they find a chance to be reborn? (Maybe a happy ending, maybe a tragic one.)
