When she was seven years old, she was sold into a theater troupe, and her master told her: The life of an opera singer is not his own. (The article has been revised in the past two days. The next few chapters have been written and will be posted tomorrow. It is still an old version.)
When she was sixteen, she met Lu Jingci. The young master of the Lu family in Shanghai is a playboy and plays with the world. He brought her back from the birthday banquet and gave her a room, a bowl of rice, and a place to shelter from the wind and rain. He said she was his cousin, but everyone knew that she was just a burden he picked up on a whim.
But he was really good to her. It was so good that she thought it would be like this for the rest of her life.
When he was nineteen, he went to France. Before leaving, he said, "Wait until I come back." She believed him.
She waited for him for three years.
A forced marriage order.
Huo Zhen, the governor of Jiangbei, a murderous warlord, fell in love with her, and she was not even qualified to say no. She hated him and was afraid of him, but that man was kind to her - so good that she couldn't tell whether it was hate or something else. It was so good that she thought her life would go on like this.
Then he died. Die on the battlefield.
At the age of twenty-two, Lu Jingci came back. He is no longer the playboy he once was. He knelt in front of her and said, "Shen Zhiwei, I'm sorry."
But there are some things that cannot be changed by just saying sorry.
