On the seventh wedding anniversary, Su Nian cooked a table of dishes alone and waited until late at night.
When her husband Li Sinian came back drunk, the name he whispered in her ear was "Wanqing".
In the early morning of that day, she saw the forgotten computer screen in his study, photos of Lin Wanqing getting married abroad.
It turns out that she is just his substitute who has not been revealed for seven years.
She had the long hair that Bai Yueguang liked, wore the same style, imitated the same tone, and lived like the shadow of another woman.
Su Nian didn't cry.
She calmly printed out the divorce agreement, neatly left all the belongings he had given her over the past seven years on the table, and walked out of the garden gate with a suitcase containing only a few old clothes and her grandmother's belongings.
When Li Sinian came back, he saw the table full of Juejue and asked her with red eyes, "Sister, you don't even want me anymore?"
She didn't look back.
From secretly accepting projects to winning international awards, from a 40-square-meter studio in an old office building in the old city to leading a team to promote projects in three countries, it took Su Nian a long time to find the lost self.
And the man who once didn't even know what major she studied in college also started to learn to cut tomatoes, cook noodles, make dumplings, and wait quietly for her every late night when she worked overtime.
When he finally learned to regard her as Su Nian instead of someone else's substitute, she was already in a position where he had to look up to see her.
"Li Sinian, I asked you before what would happen to you if one day I was gone. At that time, I wanted to hear you say that you wouldn't be able to survive. Now I don't need you to survive. I need you to live well and be yourself."

Confident women are the most beautiful. The heroine has realized the truth and does not depend on anyone. Even though it is hard, she still grows up with tears.
