    I've been dead for three months, and Fu Hansheng was completely unaware. His heart was entirely devoted to my half-sister, Jiang Miaomiao. He accompanied her to her doctor's, gave her the best care, and even set off fireworks all night on her birthday to make her happy. Hearing that those who see the Northern Lights will be blessed with lifelong happiness, Fu Hansheng actually accompanied Jiang Miaomiao to Northern Europe to see the aurora borealis while I was pregnant. As for me, his legally married partner, Fu Hansheng never cared. He always assumed that no matter what he did, I would obediently wait for him to come home. Until the police found my fragmented remains and, based on DNA testing, tracked down Fu Hansheng. Knowing the truth, Fu Hansheng went mad! He didn't let anyone who harmed me get away with it, including himself.
