Before leaving to study abroad, she mustered all her courage and confessed to him, only to get one reply: "Youyou, you're still too young." After that, Shen Xingyao stopped mentioning Wei Jingyi at every turn. When she returned to China, she dove headfirst into the entertainment industry.

With another ten waiting the next day, the miserable Gan Tang packed her bags in the middle of the night and ran away to seek refuge with Duan Qiyu, her friend of fifteen years. At midnight, Duan Yuqi had just finished work and was about to rest when he received a call. A familiar woman's voice came from the other end. "Come pick me up at the airport. Now." As soon as they met, Gan Tang poured out all her grievances. Duan Qiyu listened in silence as he drove. When Gan Tang finally ran out of steam, he handed her the bottle of mineral water beside him and spoke. "Gan Tang, would you consider marrying me?" Gan Tang and Duan Qiyu had been friends for fifteen years. Then they got married. Clutching her freshly issued marriage certificate, Gan Tang said to the man beside her, full of conviction, "If you change your mind later, just tell me. I promise I won't cling to you." Six months later, things had spiraled out of control. Gan Tang's eyes reddened. "No divorce! The only way we're separating is if one of us dies!" The man, silent for a long time, suddenly looked up at her. His dark eyes fixed on her. Gan Tang's heart ached, and she turned away, unwilling to meet his gaze. Her voice trembled. "I've changed my mind. I'm not getting divorced!" As soon as she finished speaking, he gripped her chin and pulled her into a kiss. His voice was low and husky. "That's what I should be saying to you. You can have a divorce only over my dead body." Reader's note: 1. Marriage before love 2. The male lead has a secret crush on the heroine 3. They start as friends and end up as spouses Theme: Love has no end
