Su Nian never thought that she would use the most decisive method to push away Gu Xici, who she loved deeply.
The Gu family is in many crises, and the family and the future are hanging by a thread. She hides all her deep feelings and pretends to be indifferent and ignorant, just to force him to let go and move towards a stable future. She hid her tears, suppressed her heartache, and built a high wall with indifference. She would rather be misunderstood than become a hindrance to him.
But Gu Xici still didn't believe it.
He traveled everywhere just to make sure she was well, regardless of the pressure from the family and the difficulties ahead, he stayed by her side and refused to leave. He put down his power and disputes, and only wanted to keep the person in his heart. He recalled the warmth of the past over and over again, trying to bring her back to the past, but she kept going further and further away.
When someone to marry her came to visit, he would not hesitate to protect her; under pressure from the family, he would rather be in trouble than compromise. Seeing this, Su Nian felt pain in her heart. She pretended to be calm during the day, and immersed herself in the tenderness of the past alone at night. Those sweet bits and pieces have become the most painful pain at this moment.
She knew very well that only by completely letting go could he be free from worries and protect him and his family's stability.
When the truth is revealed at the last moment, all the pretense, forbearance and sacrifice turn into heart-wrenching regret. She accomplished it in the most painful way, but he would rather give up everything than lose her.
Later, Gu Xici did not accept any arrangement and never cared about anyone else in his life.
He took the memories of the two of them away from the hustle and bustle and walked alone.
The most painful thing in the world is never separation, but that I love you so much that I can only leave you in exchange for your peace for the rest of my life.
And all his thoughts for the rest of his life were reduced to one sentence:
Just come back, I don't want anything else.
Intention: To love to the extreme is to achieve perfection, to exchange your life for your stability, and only regret and longing will be left in the rest of your life.
