There's No Taking Back Spilled Water

[A pampered heroine who grows subdued and insecure x a loyal, unhinged hero] [They reunite at the very beginning] Ji Yan is a notorious rich heiress in Harbor City, mean and spoiled but generous with money. She dates Qi Linhe, a poor student who only recently entered the workforce. Qi Linhe is withdrawn and quiet, but she always caters to Ji Yan. When Ji Yan is thirsty, Qi Linhe will ride her bike over ten kilometers to buy her a drink. When Ji Yan is picky about food, Qi Linhe will get up at four in the morning to cook for her. When Ji Yan can’t sleep at night, Qi Linhe will come rushing over, no matter the weather. Just as everyone thinks Ji Yan has finally settled down, even Qi Linhe believing that their love is real, she overhears Ji Yan say, “I don’t like Qi Linhe at all. I’m just fooling around with her.” Only then does Qi Linhe finally wake up to the truth: Ji Yan never loved her. She breaks up with Ji Yan and leaves town. That same year, the Ji family goes bankrupt. Ji Yan falls from heiress to a poor woman with tens of millions in debt. No one is willing to help her or lend her a hand. Former friends mock Ji Yan, old rivals laugh at her, and everyone tramples her pride beneath their feet, laughing as they grind her bones into the dirt. “Isn’t that the Ji family heiress? You’re not even worthy of licking my shoes now.” “Poor thing. You’re a pariah now.” “Didn’t you used to love humiliating people with money? How about getting down on your knees and begging me? I’ll give you a little tip.” “…” With tears streaming down her face, Ji Yan finally learns what it feels like to be abandoned by everyone. That year, she moves to the most remote place she can find and takes the most exhausting jobs, working from dawn till dusk just to earn money. She keeps it up for five years. Five years later, Qi Linhe has become the influential CEO Qi, while Ji Yan is the most inconspicuous waitress. When they meet again, Ji Yan bows respectfully. “CEO Qi.” Qi Linhe looks at her once, then turns away in disgust. “I don’t want to see her again.” Qi Linhe makes things difficult for Ji Yan. She can’t find a job or pay off her debts, so she has no choice but to beg Qi Linhe to forgive her. “I’m sorry. I was wrong back then. Please, have mercy on me.” The once-arrogant Ji Yan now speaks humbly. She’s gaunt, and her hands are covered in cuts and scars. Qi Linhe looks at her with an indifferent expression. “I can forgive you, but I want you to be my lover and stay by my side, just as you did to me back then, ” P.S. The top is older. The bottom wasn’t frail from the start, but after their breakup she develops serious psychological problems and a strong self-destructive streak!
