In the depth of winter in Linzhou, the snow falls on the cold city.
Su Qingyan had been infatuated for ten years, waiting for the dust to settle, but what she didn't want to wait for was a prison marriage called "debt settlement".
She is the descendant of the third generation of ancient book restoration of the Su family. She has ingenuity in her hands and a pure heart. Every time she is accused of being a sinner, she wants to open her mouth to defend herself, tell her father's kindness back then, and tell the truth about the Wen family's affairs.
But Lu Zhiyan never gave her a chance.
He is the powerful person in charge of the Lu family, he is cold and paranoid, blinded by hatred and conspiracy. When she spoke, he interrupted; when she defended, he punished; when she presented evidence, he crushed it with his own hands.
He blocked her mouth, closed her way, destroyed her obsession, broke her sincerity, and watched her go from full of expectations to silent and speechless, from lively and bright to dead-hearted.
Children have died, loved ones have passed away, fragments of books have been torn, and pride has been broken.
It's not that she didn't resist or defend herself, it's just that all her voices were cut off by him.
It wasn't until she completely disappeared in the snow in Linzhou that Lu Zhiyan was shocked to realize the truth——
He hated the wrong person, broke his heart, and personally pushed the person who wanted to explain to him time and time again, who was waiting for him to listen every word, into eternal doom.
Later, he traveled all over the mountains and rivers, searching frantically for several years, just asking her to speak one more word.
But when she returned, she was shining brightly, but all she had left was a whisper:
"I wanted to say it back then, but you didn't listen. Now, I don't want to say it anymore."
The most painful thing in this world is never not loving,
But I am sincere in every word and innocent in every sentence, but you never let me finish my words throughout my life.
