Everyone knew that the wanton, spoiled, unruly second young master of the Wen family hated two things above all: math worksheets and Xie Yidong.
Math worksheets gave him a headache, and Xie Yidong kept him in line.
He could tear up the worksheets instead of doing them, but Xie Yidong's discipline never ended. If he got into a fight, she would watch from behind and then take him to the police station. If he didn't do his homework, she would drag him to see his teacher. If he drank or went clubbing, she would stand beside him like a wooden post, ruining the mood.
She followed him for decades like a shadow he couldn't shake, no matter how hard he tried.
So when Xie Yidong died, leaving behind nothing but a disfigured corpse, nobody expected Wen Jing to guard it like a madman for three days and three nights, refusing to let anyone approach.
At last, the funeral home staff arrived to collect the body. The boy beside it was deathly pale, his eyes red at the corners, his thin back like a white poplar tree snapped at the roots.
As the funeral workers put her in a body bag, the zipper caught on a strand of hair. Ignoring their attempts to stop him, the boy came closer and knelt on the ground. He cradled her black hair in his long fingers, his voice shattered with grief, hoarse yet tender: "Careful. She gets hurt easily."

Eight years later, they met again at a banquet.
Wen Jing arrived late after surgery. Before the wine in his hand had warmed, he saw a woman in a red dress crossing the banquet hall with a bright smile, eyes alluring, her arm linked with another man's. She greeted him as if it were nothing: "Second Young Master Wen, long time no see."
Pointing to the man beside her, she said, "This is my fiance."
Wen Jing's gaze turned sinister, his eyes sharp as blades. He curled his lips into a smile, his stare seeming to slice through her.
.
After the banquet, Xie Cidong had just come out of the restroom after touching up her makeup when Wen Jing blocked her and forced her back inside. Caught between him and the wall, she could still smell the faint scent of disinfectant on him.
The hand that held a scalpel now gripped her chin. Looking down at her, full of menace, he snarled, "Xie Yidong, how dare you play me like this."
He gave a cold laugh. "You're finished."
The heroine was originally called Xie Yidong, but later changed her name to Xie Cidong.
"I would let myself be lost beneath your war banner, until dawn's first light reveals the way ahead."
