Si Jiaxu had just taken his company public on the New York Stock Exchange, becoming the wealthiest person in China's Turing Robot industry. Before he could savor the joy of success, a divorce left him completely overwhelmed.

After seven years of marriage, his wife's answer was as poetic as ever.

"I used to think my beloved was extraordinary.

You started working night shifts at seventeen, founded your own business at twenty, opened a company at twenty-two, traveled the world winning technology awards, and became a CEO at twenty-six.

I was with you from nothing, gave you all my money to start your business, and fell out with my family for your sake. I never felt wronged. I only thought that marrying you was the happiest decision of my life.

But I could never understand this: back then, everyone said we were made for each other. Why does everyone think I'm the one who married up now?"

"Jiaxu, I've really waited for you for so long. I've waited every day. I had to be obedient and understanding, wait for you to finish working late, finish socializing, finish meetings, finish one overseas call after another, and come home exhausted."

"I even have to read the financial news to find out where you went and who you met each day."

"Jiaxu, I can't wait anymore."

There are several telescopes on the roof of her villa. During ten years of sleepless nights, she painted more than a thousand stars.
