    🎀✨When he turned back, he found she was no longer there; the proud young man had lost his love forever. ①At the age of nine, the homeless Chunzhi was taken in by Lu Jingyun and became his child bride. Lu Jingyun's words, "If I pass the imperial examination one day, I will definitely marry you," earned him ten years of devoted support. The young man, full of ambition, passed the imperial examination one day, but then married the daughter of a high-ranking official, demanding she become his concubine. On the day she was abandoned by the top scholar, Chunzhi chose the powerful Prince of Chang'an, Huo Zheng, as her husband. Before leaving, everyone asked him what he would do with Chunzhi. She heard Huo Zheng contemptuously say, "A country girl, just a plaything." Chunzhi was heartbroken, faked her death, and disappeared without a trace. He, however, coughed up blood, his eyes red with rage, and chased after his wife to the crematorium.

"Indifference is never a sudden occurrence, but rather the result of countless moments accumulating." The night wind slipped into her collar, a little chilly. Wen Zhi tightened her trench coat. "Zhou Ziyi, I thank the Zhou family for raising me, but in truth, I owe the Zhou family, not you. I believe I've made myself very clear. If you continue to deceive yourself like this, we won't even be friends anymore." Zhou Ziyi's fingers, hanging at his sides, slowly tightened.
