    ⛱🍃① Dai Xingyang married He Yunheng, the privileged young man she had loved since childhood. For three years, she was his obedient wife, more attentive and considerate than a nanny, yet she couldn't earn a single word of affection from him. Knowing he didn't love her, she decided to stop clinging. The day she moved out of their marital home, he stood upstairs, smoking and sneering. Someone asked, "Aren't you going to win your wife back?" He scoffed, "Win her back? Even if the sky falls, she wouldn't dare divorce me. Do you think the sky will fall?" The very next day, divorce papers were handed to him. He stared at his reflection in the mirror, his face a mixture of emotions—a mixture of anger, rage, and despair. The sky had fallen. The king of words had lost for the first time. Later, someone photographed the once arrogant man kneeling in the pouring rain, sobbing uncontrollably. "Baby, I was wrong, I was so wrong..."
