Shen Zhiyi was hopelessly in love with Lu Shiyan for ten years. She married into a wealthy family, only to become a stand-in for his first love, Su Wan. During their three years of marriage, she endured his coldness and humiliation. While pregnant, she was framed and suffered a miscarriage, leaving her physically and emotionally broken. In the end, she became terminally ill in the depths of despair.
Only after she gave up on him and left did Lu Shiyan finally come to his senses. He learned that every hurtful thing had been part of Su Wan's schemes, and, consumed by remorse, began his desperate campaign to win her back. But ten years of devotion had long since been spent. After enduring betrayal and loss, Shen Zhiyi had already let go of the past and sought a new beginning with the gentle second male lead, Wen Jingran, by her side.
Love that comes too late is worth less than grass. Lu Shiyan gave everything to make amends, but all he got in return was her resolve to leave and her death. A decade-long obsession had ultimately been nothing but a dream. Love was gone, and he had lost the woman he loved forever, leaving him with nothing but endless regret for the rest of his life.
