Everyone in Beijing’s elite circles knew that Lou Yanzhou married Shen Qingci only to fulfill a dying wish.

The wedding was a subdued affair. He wouldn’t even step into their marital home, leaving behind a marriage contract before turning and walking away.

After they married, rumors about his affairs were constant. She remained composed and gracious, never once asking questions.

Shen Qingci always thought Lou Yanzhou was cold by nature.

But it took her four years to understand: he wasn’t cold at all. The truth was, the person he wanted to marry had never been her.

When their marriage contract expired, she calmly handed him the divorce papers and walked away.

She thought he wouldn’t care.

Until one night, the proud, dignified man who had never bowed his head to anyone clutched the hem of her clothes outside her door and sobbed uncontrollably.

“Qingqing, I’m begging you. Even if you just lied to me... told me this was all a prank, that you were only throwing a tantrum... trying to make me angry... I wouldn’t be hurting this much.”

“But your silence makes me look like a lunatic who’s making a fuss over nothing!”

“In your heart, I’ve been nothing but a joke from beginning to end!”
