He knelt for seven years, and she waited for him for seven years.
But he didn't know that what she was waiting for was not for him to turn around, but for him to die.
On the eve of the 17th year of Yong'an, Shen Zhaoning and his son stood at the gate of Zhenguo Palace and waited for two hours.
Gu Changyan came out, glanced at her, and said, "Get her out."
She smiled.
In front of him, they burned the marriage certificate he had written back then to ashes, threw the soil from his parents' graves on his face, and shoved the tablet with his name engraved on it into the snow.
"Gu Changyan, you are dead. You died seven years ago."
She turned and left.
Later, when he knelt down and begged her for forgiveness, she only asked one sentence:
"How long have you been kneeling?"
"One year and eight months."
"I've been waiting for you for three years and four months. Then you kneel down." This is the story of a woman who waited for a man for seven years.
It is also the story of this man spending his whole life repaying his debt.
It is also the story of their family of three, from brokenness to perfection.
