A merger unveils a web of lies. He believes he controls everything, unaware that he himself is merely a pawn on the chessboard. When his wife drags her suitcase towards the security checkpoint, when his childhood sweetheart stands beside the exploding cargo ship holding a remote control, Lu Jingshen finally understands—in this war waged in the name of love, no one can emerge unscathed. And what he owes is far more than just an emotional debt.

   Three years into our marriage, I told the prince I was pregnant. He went crazy—because he'd never touched me. I lowered my eyes and whispered, "On your birthday, you got drunk and mistook me for your first love." From that day on, he treated me like royalty, adding five million to my account and even padded the corners of the tables at home. Three months later, on the day his first love returned to the country, I removed the implants, left the divorce papers, and ran away cleanly. Six months later, I was at a high-class club, embracing two male models, when the door to my private room was kicked open. He stood in the doorway, his eyes red-rimmed, grinning through gritted teeth—"Madam, you've got quite a fishpond."

    [Regret, irony, betrayed affection, and a frantic chase after her husband] He was unromantic, only good at reasoning; he wasn't rich enough, nor handsome enough. I disliked his lack of charm and desperately wanted a divorce to find my other brothers, Zhang, Li, and Wang. After the divorce, I discovered—Zhang only wanted casual sex, Li just wanted to play around, and Wang was married with children. I owed over ten thousand yuan on my credit cards, and no one would bail me out. I went back to my ex-husband to remarry, thinking he was waiting for me. But he was holding another girl's hand and said calmly, "I just don't love you anymore." At that moment, I understood—the blessings I lost through my own actions couldn't be regained, no matter how much I begged.

    In the autumn of 1982, the rains were exceptionally plentiful. Chen Guodong squatted in his leaky thatched hut, watching the water droplets drip from the gaps in the straw, creating small puddles on the muddy ground. He clutched half a hardened cornbread in his hand, his eyes peering through the dilapidated window at the two-story house with blue bricks and gray tiles at the east end of the village. Lin Xiuyun lived there, his elementary school classmate, the unspoken confidante of his entire adolescence. Today, Xiuyun was engaged to the son of the commune secretary, riding a brand-new Forever brand bicycle, its handlebars adorned with a red ribbon that stood out starkly in the autumn rain. Listening to the distant sound of firecrackers, Chen Guodong stuffed the last bite of cornbread into his mouth, chewing until his cheeks ached.
