When she was six years old, the lantern festival went missing and she was dragged to a remote and broken yard. At the critical moment, a little boy smashed her teeth with a wooden board and took advantage of the chaos to drag her away, but was captured. When she woke up, she only remembered a pair of eyes - as clear as the stars in the sky, with a determined light.
Later, she found the owner of those eyes and chased him for ten years.
Delivering tea, delivering letters, standing in the snow until dawn... She made herself a joke in the whole capital, and only got a "no need" from him.
It doesn't matter, she doesn't care.
Until the day when the whole Jiang family was convicted, she knelt in the rain and begged him for help. He stood behind the crowd, frowning and watching.
She finally understood - it wasn't that he didn't understand love, it was her love that was not worthy of him lifting a finger.
Exiled in the north for three years, she learned to stand up on her own in the bitter cold land. The real savior stayed with her for three years and gave her a sense of security that she had never had before.
She thought, this is fine. If you don't want to get married, don't get married.
But he came after him.
The man who had been cold for ten years acted like crazy - he blocked her in an alley and kissed her, carried her away in front of his love rival, and stood outside her door until dawn just to see her.
He said: "Zhaoning, I was wrong."
It's late.
But he doesn't care. He held her in his arms, rested his chin on her forehead, and said in a trembling voice, "I want it even if it's too late. I don't care if you hate it or not, in this life, don't even think about leaving me."
