Divorced Couple / Angsty Push and Pull / Rekindled Romance
Can a love that burns bright in youth really turn into mutual loathing?
Jiang Shi'an and Zhou Huai were the campus couple everyone envied, a fairy tale come to life.
They got their marriage license as soon as they graduated, their smiles in the wedding photos so radiant they almost hurt to look at. Their friends all said they were the perfect picture of love.
Then, in the second year after their honeymoon, a car accident shattered every dream they had.
Zhou Huai was paralyzed from the neck down, and would spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.
Jiang Shi'an quit her job and spent two years helping him with rehabilitation, adjusting to their new reality, and learning how to keep living in a body that was no longer whole.
In the third year, she returned to work, choosing a job that required frequent business trips to make ends meet.
In the fourth year, he began compulsively checking her schedule, asking for details about every colleague, and calling again and again whenever she left home to make sure he knew when she would return.
In the fifth year, she said, "Zhou Huai, I'm tired."
He said, "Do you think I'm useless now, too?"
Outside the Civil Affairs Bureau, after signing the papers, he looked up at her. "Shi'an, if I hadn't been in that accident..."
"There are no what-ifs." She cut him off, her voice weary. "Let's set each other free."
A year after the divorce, she thought she could finally breathe the air of freedom.
But he began a relentless campaign to win her back.
"Shi'an, the doctor says I'll never stand again."
"But no one said a shattered mirror can't be put back together."
The tide always returns to the shore. Can you... come back to me?
