Introduction to the work
Everyone in Beijing knew that Lu Chenzhou married a woman he didn't love.
Business marriage, everyone gets what they need, for a period of three years. She is an abandoned daughter sent to the Shen family for shelter, and he is a cold-blooded businessman who gives out favors. After marriage, the two lived in separate rooms, acting as a loving couple in front of others, but even more alienated than strangers in the back.
Shen Zhiyi always thought so.
Until late one night in the third year, she accidentally found a locked drawer in his study - neatly placed in it were all the things she had thrown away in the past three years: convenience store receipts, dried gardenias, scrapped notes, and a broken eyebrow pencil.
There is also a yellowed photo with a line of words written on the back, which has been repeatedly traced in ink:
"Shen Zhiyi, since I was seventeen, I have never planned to let you go."
At that moment, she realized that this marriage, which she thought was a deal, had been planned by him from beginning to end.
All the indifference and restraint are just for fear of losing control and scaring her away.
After three years of forbearance, the embankment collapsed.
