[Angsty romance + chasing his wife to the crematorium + wealthy family]
What you took for betrayal was my life-for-life protection.
The thing Lu Yan regretted most in his life was putting on his most dishonest mask in front of the woman he loved most.
To test her feelings, he pretended to be an ordinary office worker and approached Jiang Nian. Just as he had hoped, she cared neither about his money nor his power. She simply loved him for who he was.
He had planned to tell her the truth, but could only watch as she threw herself into the arms of his sworn enemy, Fu Siheng.
Two years later, he took her back from Fu Siheng and vented his pain through wanton revenge.
He thought he was punishing a gold digger, never realizing that her “betrayal” back then had been meant to protect him, the man she believed had nothing.
Only when the truth came out did Lu Yan realize he had personally pushed the woman who loved him most into an abyss from which there was no escape.
Jiang Nian left six final words on the wall: “I will never forgive you.”
They were her verdict on their relationship, and on her own life.
In love, every one of them was a prisoner with nowhere left to turn.
