After her sister escaped from marriage, Shen Zhiyi was pushed out to fulfill the engagement. On their wedding night, she and Lu Siheng agreed to "treat each other as guests and live their own lives." She thought this marriage would be like a glass of warm water, neither hot nor cold.
But Lu Siheng never follows the script.
She had nightmares, and he put a glass of warm water at the door: "Knock on the door if you need anything." When she was ridiculed by the media, he directly posted on WeChat: "My curator." Some people spread rumors that she had stolen the engagement, so he held a press conference: "Any false remarks against my wife will be dealt with by the Ministry of Justice."
He said: "Zhiyi, I don't trust others, I only trust you."
From being in separate rooms to sleeping together, from being cautious to being frank and coquettish - Lu Siheng used actions to fill the "not chosen" hole in her heart. He gave her the greatest sense of security: he would not be cold-hearted or violent, he would not listen to provocation, and he would be the first to stand up to anyone who bullied her. Even his childhood sweetheart, who was said to have a crush on him, took the initiative to draw a line between them.
There was no vicious female partner, no misunderstandings, just a steady flow of favoritism and occasional quarrels - no more than ten minutes at a time, and he always bowed his head first.
When the man who said "everyone does his own thing" turned into a loyal dog who came home early from a business trip just because he said "I miss you", Shen Zhiyi finally understood: she is not anyone's substitute, she is Lu Siheng's only choice.
Engagement is the beginning, falling in love is the story we write ourselves.
