Mrs. Cheng never relies on Mr. Cheng.
Mr. Cheng puts in the effort night after night so that Mrs. Cheng can rely on him more when she's out. To make her feel even more "comfortable," he has to go without sleep night after night.
Everyone in the capital knows that Mr. Cheng loves Mrs. Cheng to his very core.
One day, Mrs. Cheng gets angry when she discovers that Mr. Cheng got together with her only because of a bet. She nearly leaves home.
Mr. Cheng tries everything: coaxing her, kissing her, even seducing her. Mrs. Cheng just doesn't get the hint.
With no other choice, Mr. Cheng pulls her into his arms and buries his face against her chest. In a muffled voice, he says, "I got together with you because of a bet." Hearing this, Mrs. Cheng gets angry for no reason she can explain. Just as she starts to get up, Mr. Cheng pulls her back into his arms.
"But I only kept getting closer to you because you were you. I admit I lost that bet, and I lost completely. In the end, I was defeated by you. I'm destined to be yours for the rest of my life."
With that, Mr. Cheng kisses Mrs. Cheng.

Lin Qian: All I've ever hoped for is a love that flows gently and steadily. As for when it reaches your heart, I'll leave that up to you.
Cheng Xiao: I don't believe in fate. I'll cross every obstacle and create my own chance to meet you. I don't regret meeting you! One day, I'll make you willingly forget that man and whisper my name into my ear, happy and content! Just wait. That day isn't far off!
Jiang Feng: The moon sets, crows cry, and frost fills the sky. In the end, Jiang Feng never found his lost spark again. Lin Qian, in this life, you're the only thing I don't regret. The only thing I regret is not being able to hold you during that time.
Qi Lin: Once, you wanted the kind of love in "Jiang Feng and fishing lights sleep opposite sorrow." That belonged to Jiang Feng. Later, the love that flowed gently and steadily belonged to Cheng Xiao. How sad. After everything I've done for you, in the end, there's no place for me.
