Shen Nian is 38, divorced, raising two children, and worth tens of millions.
Lu Tingshen is 26, a penniless artist living in an old apartment complex. All he has is a dog named Niannian.
They'd been WeChat friends for five years without exchanging a word. Then a post about a puppy brought them together in bed.
She thought it was love. She filled his empty apartment, changed all his passwords to his birthday, bought a house and a car, and prepared a surprise for him on Lunar New Year's Eve.
But all he gave her was cold indifference, silence, and “My mom wants me to go on a blind date.”
She could never bring herself to throw away the little snowflake hair clip that cost just a few yuan.
Only later did she understand: it wasn't that he didn't love her. He simply couldn't accept her love.
She was the third person to treat him well. And she had never been part of his future.
