If fate gives you a marriage based on tragedy, do you dare to be sincere?
Lin Xingwan was ordered to marry into the Xiao Mansion. Her husband was Xiao Qingyan, the eldest son who was rumored to be lonely, frail and sickly. On the wedding night, he was distant and cold: "Miss Lin, you and I have nothing to do with each other."
He was indeed ill, and the heart disease he carried from his mother's womb followed him like a shadow, but no one knew about it. During the day he was the powerful head of the Xiao family, but at night he was just a patient who had trouble breathing and coughing.
On a thunderstorm night, she broke into his embarrassment of suffering the onset of illness alone. The trembling body, the suppressed groan, and the breathless words "... Don't say anything".
The perfect appearance that he carefully maintained has since cracked the first crack.
From the respectful "Miss Lin" who treated each other like a guest, to the warmth of his palms under the moonlight; from him supporting his sick body to shield her from the wind and rain, to her being undressed and waiting all night; from the sudden bright and dim light in his eyes when he learned that he was pregnant, to his tearful smile when his daughter Suining was born...
This is a deep love that competes with illness and fate in the slowly passing time.
"If this disease can be cured, I will treat you well for the rest of my life."
"If I can't... I should let you go earlier."
But he never let go, and she never left.
Until Sui Ning called out "Daddy" childishly, he shed a tear in his sleep, and slept peacefully in the company of his wife and daughter.
"Every year you are pure, I will always miss you."
This is not about praying for eternal tranquility, but about knowing how difficult life is and the uncertainty of gatherings and separations, but still choosing to believe that some love can transcend life and death and exist forever.
