She hated him, loathed him, and hurt him terribly, ultimately jumping to her death from unbearable torment. After death, she learned that the murderer was someone else, and that Yan Jingchen had avenged her by committing suicide at her grave. She secretly vowed that if she had an afterlife, she would investigate the truth and make amends to her husband. "Momo, do you hate me that much that you want me to die?" Yan Jingchen's eyes were bloodshot. "No! No! No! Jingchen, I didn't." The woman hurriedly explained. Yan Jingchen picked up a fruit knife beside him, grabbed Wen Yimo's hand, and stabbed himself. "I'll grant your wish, Momo. You know, if you want it, I'll give it to you, even my life." Wen Yimo struggled with all her might, but to no avail. She could only cry and shout, "Let go! No! Don't hurt yourself!" The man, covered in blood, slowly collapsed. The once unapproachable President Yan was now humbled to the dust. Before losing consciousness, he reached out to wipe away the tears from Wen Yimo's eyes. "I'm sorry, I love you." He slowly closed his eyes.

The morning light fell on him, stripping away his usual aloofness, leaving only dishevelment and exhaustion. His shirt collar was slightly disheveled, his eyes bloodshot, and although he stood ramrod straight, he exuded an extreme loneliness and stubbornness. The figure who had gently embraced her in her dream last night, whispering comforting words, the warm kiss on her forehead, the deep, magnetic voice—all instantly overlapped with the face before her.

Someone really had quietly crouched beside her when she was dizzy, helpless, and on the verge of collapse, shielding her from the boundless darkness and giving her a moment of peace. But, of all people, that person was Yu Hui. It was Yu Hui, the one who publicly announced their engagement, pushed her into the abyss, subjected her to endless gossip and slander, caused her family's misfortune, and made her weep all night. When Yu Hui saw Yu Xin, his first notice was her bandaged scalded finger, and his heart skipped a beat. Yu Hui hurriedly walked to Yu Xin, instinctively reaching out his hand: "Xin Xin, what happened to your hand?" Zhao Lei stepped forward, immediately blocking Yu Hui's path: "Yu Hui! Please have some self-respect! You're no longer her boyfriend!" This protective gesture, like a needle, instantly pierced all of Yu Hui's resolve and wishful thinking. Yu Hui stood frozen, rooted to the spot. After a moment of silence, Yu Xin spoke: "I got scalded by hot water, just today. After Nian Xue told me you'd agreed to the engagement..." Seeing Yu Xin like this, he suddenly felt an indescribable pain, a thousand words stuck in his throat, leaving only a dry, silent lament. Yu Xin's gaze slowly fell upon him, all surprise fading, leaving only calm: "Yu Hui, remember, this is the last time I'll get hurt for you! From now on, let's each go our separate ways!" She gently tugged at the corners of her mouth, a pale and bitter smile, yet every word pierced Yu Hui's heart. She continued, "And... Thank you, I'll pay you back for the surgery later." Yu Hui's Adam's apple bobbed violently, his voice low and hoarse, tinged with tentative caution: "Xin Xin... Did you hear everything?" "I heard everything." Yu Xin nodded gently, her eyelashes trembling slightly, casting delicate shadows that concealed all emotions in her eyes. "I heard you pay for my surgery, I heard you say you wanted to break off the engagement." What Yu Xin didn't say was that Yu Hui was the one who could truly put her at ease. However, it was better not to say these things; saying them would only make her more pathetic. She looked at him, a thin layer of mist finally welling up in her eyes. "Xin Xin, don't cry!" Yu Hui wanted to step forward again to wipe Yu Xin's tears, but Zhao Lei blocked Yu Xin behind him, his eyes seeming to want to devour Yu Hui. Yu Hui could only withdraw his hand and continue, "I want to make it up to you. I hope you'll give me a chance..." Yu Hui looked at Yu Xin earnestly. He looked at her even thinner body, and how he longed to hold her tightly in his arms like before, as if she were a part of him. "Make it up for what?" Yu Xin gently interrupted him, her voice soft but carrying an unyielding resolve. "Make it up for the tears I shed? Make it up for the humiliation I suffered? Or make it up for my heart that no longer dares to love wholeheartedly?" "None of these can be made up for." She took a deep breath of the cool morning air, suppressing the surging bitterness in her heart, her eyes turning completely cold. "Yu Hui, you have your own constraints, your family's future, your own helplessness. Let's go our separate ways. You live your glamorous life, and I'll keep my ordinary, peaceful life." These words, gentle yet utterly cutting off all escape routes. He stared blankly at the aloof and cold girl before him, at the little girl who once adored him, now only showing him utter unfamiliarity and resolute indifference. A crimson tinge spread through his eyes, weariness, regret, and pain layering upon layer, almost consuming him completely. "Okay, Xin Xin, take care!" Yu Hui's gaze lingered on Yu Xin's face for a moment, then he picked up his coat from the chair and walked towards the hospital entrance. The morning sunlight was gentle yet dazzling, softly shining on Yu Hui through the glass doors. Yu Xin watched his back recede into the distance, becoming blurry. It was as if he had walked into the light, as if he had left her world. She felt a stinging ache in her eyes, a warm stream flowing… Zhao Lei watched her silently from behind. A rustling sound of clothes reached her ears. She snapped out of her reverie and saw the attending physician had arrived. He looked at Yu Xin and said, "The patient's surgery fees have been paid in full; the surgery can be scheduled immediately!"

    Spring snow fell in the Shen family mansion courtyard. "Father, please find the aphrodisiac to help your daughter ascend to the position of Crown Princess!" Shen Qingnian knelt in the thick snow. After saying this, she kowtowed to Shen Zheng. The early spring snowflakes fell heavily on her head, making her appear exquisitely beautiful. She needed to have physical intimacy with the Crown Prince immediately. Shen Zheng's heart sank upon hearing this. He looked at Shen Qingnian kneeling on the ground. He sneered, "This is the method you came up with? Today, you failed to keep the Crown Prince at the snow-viewing banquet, and now you want to use a drug? You think this will make you the Crown Princess? You are utterly foolish!" Although they addressed each other as father and daughter, their relationship was merely one of exploitation. Seeing Shen Zheng's anger, Shen Qingnian kowtowed again: "Lin Yue'er and His Highness the Crown Prince have a childhood sweetheart relationship. She's only just returned and she's already managed to make the Crown Prince abandon the banquet. If things continue like this, I have no chance of winning. The only option is to take a risky gamble!" Lin Yue'er not only has a childhood sweetheart relationship with the Crown Prince, but her grandfather also once saved him. There really isn't a good solution right now. Shen Zheng understood this as well. He narrowed his eyes, thinking about his official hat. Finally, he said grimly, "Shen Qingnian, you must remember this: your concubine is in my hands. If this fails, I will kill her!" To ensure she became the Crown Princess, he not only changed her status from a concubine to a legitimate wife, but also spent a fortune to secure her the title of a talented woman. This matter can only succeed; failure is not an option! Shen Qingnian lowered her eyes and obediently replied, "I understand."
