Five years later, when Shen Li returned, she thought he was a traitor who wanted to seize the family property and a cold-blooded tyrant, but she didn't know...
He uses hatred to disguise affection, and uses harm to achieve protection. Every time he turned around indifferently, he was coughing up blood when no one was around; every cruel word was hidden in his trembling breath.
It wasn't until the truth was revealed that Shen Li discovered that the person she loved was dying alone.
And the last words he left to her were——
"Shen Li, I love you. From the beginning of candy when I was five years old, to now and forever."
This is a story about protection.
He spent his life teaching her what love is, and she spent the rest of her life missing his hidden affection.
