Springtime

Su Yi was born into a wealthy family, but her father never cared for her and her mother never loved her. Before she turned twenty-two, she never imagined she would meet Sheng Tingchuan and live a different kind of life. The most brilliant heir of Shengshi Group had an elegance and nobility that seemed to seep from his very bones. Even the way he held a cigarette was irresistibly alluring. Yet this man lowered himself to pursue her in a way no girl could resist, and kept at it for an entire year. He spoiled her and loved her. He spent 300 million on a diamond the size of a pigeon egg just to celebrate her birthday. On the day he proposed, every billboard in S City displayed her photo. Everyone said Su Yi was the happiest woman in the world. She was full of joy and believed it too. Until the night of their wedding, when Sheng Tingchuan got drunk for the first time. He held Su Yi in his arms, traced the beauty mark at the corner of her eye with his fingertip all night, and kept murmuring, “Mianmian, Mianmian...” Immersed in the joy of being newlyweds, Su Yi tried to convince herself that Sheng Tingchuan had simply misspoken while drunk. Three months later, her older sister, Su Mian, came back. Only then did Su Yi realize why Sheng Tingchuan had given her the whole world, yet never once said, “I love you.” -- At last seeing through this absurd substitute scam, Su Yi left behind divorce papers and walked away with composure. During the first month, Sheng Tingchuan went about his work and social gatherings as if nothing had happened. In the second month, Sheng Tingchuan could still talk and laugh freely in business circles. By the third month, Sheng Tingchuan could no longer keep up the act. After drinking himself into a stupor alone, he called Su Yi, his soul in ruins, and asked in a hoarse, tearful voice, “Yiyi, how much longer are you going to make me suffer...?” Later, the Sheng family's scandal made the front page of the evening paper. Sheng Tingchuan, head of the Sheng family, threw away all his dignity and knelt in the pouring rain outside the younger Miss Su's home all night, humbly begging her to remarry him.
