[Physical and emotional torment + a poisonous-hearted “white moonlight” + a regretful pursuit of his wife that ends in nothing]
Gu Yichen hates Shen Mengqing to the bone. For the sake of his beloved Tang Yanyan, he forces Shen Mengqing to become an antidote, lets her suffer a miscarriage, watches her get into a car accident, and destroys her family with his own hands. Her parents die in a car crash, her younger brother falls to his death, and her only close friend is driven mad and committed to a hospital after protecting her.
He says, “Shen Mengqing, if Tang Yanyan loses even a single hair, I'll make you pay with your life.”
Later, Tang Yanyan frames her for kidnapping, and he unhesitatingly forces her to give up her heart to save the woman he loves. On the operating table, Shen Mengqing's love and her will to live fade away together. After the surgery, she sets a trap that ensures her death and vanishes from his world for good.
When the truth is finally laid bare, Gu Yichen realizes that the woman he cherished was a viper, and the one he tormented was the woman he loved most. He kneels before her “grave,” consumed by regret, sends Tang Yanyan to prison, and searches for Shen Mengqing like a madman.
When they meet again, he sees her smiling like a flower with her arm linked through Lu Muyans, while children gather around her, calling her Mom.
Gu Yichen goes completely mad.
(A tragic romance. Read with caution! Mr. Gu's remorse will never bring Shen Mengqing back.)
