When she was 17 years old, on New Year's Eve in Beijing, Shen Zhiyi met Lu Shiyan in the library.
He was a gentleman and gentle, and helped her take down the book that was out of reach. His words, "Girl, the book you want," made her blush and break her guard.
I thought it was just a chance encounter, but they met again at my uncle's house on the third day of the Lunar New Year.
She was sleepy-eyed, wearing a burgundy suspender skirt, her long curly hair was loose, her skin was so white that it was almost transparent, her lips were as bright as blood, and she was so beautiful that she was defenseless.
When she raised her eyes and met his gaze, she thought it was a fate sent by God and the beginning of a story.
She loved him with all her heart, delivered it without reservation, and regarded him as the only light in her girlhood.
But little did they know that this heartbeat was a carefully woven scam from the beginning.
Later, when the truth was revealed, she learned that he had already married a wife and had children, and his family was stable.
The whole world pointed at her and called her a "mistress," but no one believed her innocence or listened to her explanation.
She reluctantly said goodbye to this wrong love and the person she loved deeply, but she could not get rid of the stigma of the "third party" in the end.
Rumors have been with her all her life. She was obviously the victim of being deceived, but she had to bear all his sins and spend her whole life surrounded by endless scolding.
