Unpaid, not serialized.
Lu Ying and her husband were childhood sweethearts. Three years after they married, she and her team fell asleep in an accident while taking part in a scientific expedition.
When she woke up, seventy years had passed.
Most of the people she had known were dead.
Lu Ying accepted reality. When she saw a man who looked like her husband walk into her hospital room, tears streamed down her face.
“You're my ex-husband's son, right? How long has he been gone?”
The man gently patted the top of her head. “...I'm your husband.”
He was gentle and considerate, patiently teaching her to adapt to life seventy years in the future as if she were a child.
Until one day, Lu Ying discovered that he was hiding something from her.
He had a family of his own, with a wife and children.
For her, those seventy years had been just a dream. For him, they had been seventy years of solitude and torment.
She hid her pain and smiled as she patted his shoulder. “It's been seventy years. It was only right for you to start a new family. I'm grateful she was there for you.”
If they couldn't be spouses, they could still be family.
His calm eyes gradually reddened as he held her hand tightly.
She had slept for seventy years, just like Captain America, but she wasn't a superhero.
