Ji Shinian loved Gu Zhao for five years and waited for her for five years.
They were both grassroots counterattacks. He was six years older than her, and he was attracted by her fierceness when they first met. He took the initiative to offer a five-year contract marriage, thinking that he would protect her for life.
Until he was hospitalized for stomach problems and asked for help late at night, she was in a meeting and only said coldly:
Don't cause trouble for others.
At that moment, he was shocked to realize that he was the one being taken advantage of in this marriage.
She is docile and decent to her parents-in-law, never arguing, just doing her duty as a wife;
She is decisive in the workplace, has clear rewards and punishments, and never brings emotions into her work;
She only gave all her tenderness to her daughter, and was always polite and distant to him, without even a hint of sincerity.
Until one day when he was drunk, Gu Zhao cried and told about the unbearable past——
Not his biological child, abandoned, homeless, even crying he had to slap himself to wake him up.
All Ji Shinian's grievances and unwillingness instantly turned into heart-breaking heartache.
He finally understood that she was not indifferent, but had never been firmly chosen by anyone;
It's not that she doesn't love, it's that she doesn't dare to love, doesn't know how to love, and doesn't believe she's worthy of being loved.
The pain that once caused her to collapse did not become a prison, but instead made her stronger.
Later, Ji Shinian no longer forced her to love him.
He only looked at this woman who had endured all the storms alone, and his heart was full of:
Awe, and worship.
Gu Zhao: I only believe in myself in my life, I don't trouble others, and I don't rely on anyone.
Ji Shinian: I won't force you to become soft, I will only be your most stable supporter in this life.
