"Since you dared to get involved with me, don't even think about escaping for the rest of your life."
She hides, he pursues. She runs, he corners her.
Until one day, Sheng Xiangsi can run no longer. Her eyes red, she demands, "What is it you even like about me? I'll change it, all right? I'll change!"
The man lowers his head and kisses away the moisture at the corner of her eye. "It's too late. From the moment you barged into my world, you were destined to be mine for the rest of your life."

When the bloody truth was finally laid bare, Sheng Xiangsi couldn't bear the blow and jumped into the river to end her life.
As she fell into the water, another figure plunged in after her.
Xiao Xushi pulled her from the water and held her trembling body, kissing her again and again. "If you're going to die, we'll die together. Don't leave me alone."
