My Youth Has No Return Date

I loved Lu Zhiyan for ten whole years, from the summer sycamores of my fifteenth year to the day I stood before my mother's coffin at twenty-two.

He was convinced I was cruel and calculating, that I'd drugged him to climb into his bed. When I was at my most desperate, he watched coldly and personally drove my only family member to her death.

At the funeral, he locked me away, breaking my spirit and destroying every hope I had.

Only when the truth came to light did he realize he had hated the wrong person and loved me too late.

But my mother was already in the ground, and my youth lay in ruins.

The greatest pain in this world has never been going unloved. It's when you spend ten years misunderstanding me, destroy my whole life, and only then talk of redemption, when there is no time left.
