In her previous life, Su Nian saw Jiang Wang as the lowliest “servant” her father had planted at her side.
A hideous scar ran across his face. Silent and brooding, he stayed in the Su household, and Su Nian was convinced he was after the family fortune.
She beat and berated him, humiliating him at every turn. Only when her enemies pushed her off a high-rise did she see the man who always kept his head bowed charge toward her like a madman, shielding her from every shard of glass and bullet.
Only as she lay dying did she learn that the man she had tormented until he was covered in wounds was the beloved she had forgotten years ago. He was afraid she would recognize him, yet every night he longed for her to remember.
Reborn, Su Nian wants only to give him her life in return.
She puts away her arrogance and carefully tries to treat him well, but all she gets in return is even deeper silence and distance from Jiang Wang.
“Miss Su, this servant's life is worthless. I don't deserve your kindness.” The light in his eyes has long gone out, leaving only utter desolation.
Su Nian understands that some wounds run too deep to be healed by a simple apology. She decides to let him go, giving him his freedom and herself time to make amends.
But when she really turns to leave, the man who never bowed his head drops to his knees in front of her car, eyes red and voice trembling. “Niannian, don't leave me... Please, don't abandon me like you did in my last life.”
