When Chen Yirun came to the Qi family for the third time to ask for Qi Xixiang's hand in marriage, she finally agreed. They were well matched in status, had known each other since childhood, and knew each other inside out. Besides, her parents said this wealthy bachelor was handsome, worldly, and had everything one could want in poise and charm.
She knew who had received his youthful affections, and she herself had never let go of the man she loved. Each of them had a place in their heart reserved for someone else, so it wasn't unfair to either of them.
Three months into their marriage, spring passed like flowing water.
She said, "Even if we treat each other with all due respect..."
He said, "Husband and wife are the closest of strangers."
She found him distant, and their relationship ended because he never gave her his heart.
Chen Yirun knew he was the one at fault. After all, Miss Qi had been nothing but kind to him. At the height of their affection, she had even given him a cloud-and-moon seal.
People called her a moon in the heavens. He was delighted, yet ashamed, and secretly hoped she wouldn't love so wholeheartedly next time.
Long after they parted, Chen Yirun sometimes checked her social media, sometimes sat in the cafes she often visited, and sometimes exchanged polite greetings with her in his dreams.
He told himself it was only natural. They had once been husband and wife, after all.
Until one day, Chen Yirun found a photo of the ex-boyfriend she never spoke about. The man had a tattoo identical to the seal she had given him.
Chen Yirun decided this matter wasn't over.
