Su Nian loved Lu Chen for years, loving him until there was nowhere left to retreat, holding nothing back.
She went to him with a sincere heart, willing to set aside her pride and accommodate all his coldness and neglect. Everyone around her told her not to get so invested, but Su Nian clung to a faint hope, believing that enough time together could eventually warm his frozen heart. She silently swallowed every hurt, big or small, tying her entire future to his and dreaming of all the years they would spend together.
But Lu Chen had never planned to include her in the rest of his life. His heart remained with someone from his past. To him, Su Nian's devotion was merely convenient companionship, something he could take for granted and never cherish. Again and again, he made his choice, and every time, Su Nian was the one he cast aside. He ignored the pain in her eyes and carelessly wore away her love, never once considering her feelings.
The final upheaval was what finally broke Su Nian.
When she saw him protect someone else without hesitation and push her into the line of fire, the last of the love in her heart was extinguished. This time, she didn't cry or beg him to stay. Every last hope vanished. She resolved to leave, cutting every tie without hesitation and never looking back.
Only after Su Nian disappeared did Lu Chen finally notice the enormous emptiness in his heart. The tenderness and wholehearted devotion he'd long ignored had all turned into sharp blades, cutting into him again and again. Overwhelmed by regret, he swallowed his pride and searched frantically, doing everything he could to make things right.
But Su Nian had already closed her heart. He was the one who had driven her into a corner. Now that she was leaving, she would hold nothing back either.
Su Nian gave everything to love Lu Chen, but after being let down again and again, she resolutely walked away without looking back. When Lu Chen finally came to his senses and desperately tried to win her back, he realized she would never stop for him again.
