   On our 20th wedding anniversary, he confessed drunkenly, "I've never liked you, not even myself." It turns out my first love, my one and only, my entire youth, were just a "brother" to him—someone he could "live with." The man who took a backseat to me, buying groceries and cooking; the husband who handled all the renovations so I wouldn't have to worry; the father who said he'd leave with nothing to give me everything for our children—his heart still belonged to the girl from high school who "healed" him with her smile. I cried and asked him why he married me. He said, "Well, you liked me so much, and you readily agreed." The most ironic thing was, when I wanted to hate him, I heard him murmur to the night sky, "If it weren't for you and the children, I probably wouldn't have lived past 30." This man who had shattered me for twenty years, it turned out, had shattered himself long ago.

Once it was big and powerful, she would come to the Prime Minister's residence and take her child away openly and legitimately. Night fell, and she wanted to rest, but Bitao kept urging her to wait.

    It's a contract marriage. The male lead doesn't want to be forced into an arranged marriage and tells his elders that the female lead resembles his older sister, which is why he wants to marry her. However, he tells the female lead that she's only marrying him because she looks like his "white moonlight" (his ideal woman). The male lead believes his sister died saving him. I don't want to spoil it, but I still have to say that his sister is an extremely wicked person. I hate her so much. The male lead is someone who desperately needs love. His childhood was tragic. But he's a very good person. His sister is his biological sister, but she treats his stepsister brother better, constantly making the male lead suffer.
