A gentle ray of sunshine × a broken boy
In her previous life, Wen Yuan’an died in a car accident.
Amid the wreckage, she finally saw how terrified the man who later gained power over the capital and forced her to marry him had been of losing her.
Shen Ji grew up in hardship. His father was a gambler, his mother was gravely ill, and he had a little sister to protect.
His life had no light in it.
Then, in high school, she came along, bright and dazzling, from a well-off family. Without even realizing it, she became the only light in his dark world.
Later, they parted ways. Her family fell on hard times, and she came crashing down from her pedestal.
He found her and tricked her into marrying him. He was possessive, but never said he loved her.
She thought he was driven by obsession and possessiveness, that he could never love her.
Only when an earthquake struck and he threw himself over her without hesitation, protecting her with his life, did she understand.
He wasn’t incapable of love. He loved too deeply, too intensely, and too quietly.
Even across years, misunderstandings, and differences in status, she was still his life.
When she opened her eyes, she was seventeen again.
The sun was shining, and she and he had just become deskmates.
This time, she wouldn’t be naive and keep her distance.
She would go to him first, bring warmth into his life, and make sure her light shone steadily in his world.
She would protect her family, and she would protect her boy.
She told him:
In our last life, you loved me in silence. In this one, I’ll love you openly and without reservation.
