Jiang Mingyue never imagined she’d end up in bed with the man she’d broken off her engagement to. Their clothes scattered across the floor showed just how wild their night had been.
To top it off, photos of them kissing passionately shot to the top of several trending searches.
Their broken engagement turned into a marriage, but Jiang Mingyue wasn’t happy about marrying this stiff, old-fashioned man.
After the wedding, though, Lu Shiyan was incredibly tender and took care of her in every way. Over time, she began to develop feelings for him. On his birthday, she even prayed at a temple, asking that his wish come true.
He didn’t believe in gods or Buddhas, yet he treasured her prayer beads as if they were priceless.
It wasn’t until the truth came out that Jiang Mingyue learned someone close to her had been involved in drugging her. She took out the divorce papers. The man who had always been composed kissed her like a madman. “Divorce? Not in your dreams.”
…
Later, Jiang Mingyue returned home to pick up her things and accidentally knocked over an elegantly wrapped box. Its contents spilled out: photos of her at different stages of her life, from middle school to the present, along with a diary documenting how he had watched her from afar.
On the last page, she saw his most recent handwriting: “Jiaojiao doesn’t want to forgive me. Even Buddha has never saved me.”
So, all those years when she couldn’t see him, he had already loved her for so long.
In that instant, she wanted to see him, to throw herself into his arms without a second thought and tell him, “If Buddha won’t save you, I will.”
“Lu Shiyan, I love you.” As their bodies embraced, Jiang Mingyue knew it was true.
