"I, Yin Li, will never be a mistress, never be a stepmother, and never marry a divorcé." She had never been this forceful before.
"Shen Yiqin, think carefully before you answer me. Do you want to marry me, and can you?"
When Yin Li met the boy she loved at fifteen, she understood Tang Xianzu's words: "Love has no idea where it begins, yet it grows deeper and deeper."
So for the nine years that followed, longing for him gnawed at her until she was in agony, yet she willingly bore it.
At last, she heard the words: A Li, I'm back.
There really was a divine, three-legged bird that carried messages, and it had brought back the boy she had thought of day and night.
But when he returned, he was already a husband and a father.
She said she found him disgusting.
But she didn't know that after more than three thousand days and nights of tossing and turning, Shen Yiqin was nearly driven mad by how much he missed her.
"A Li, I won't let you go. Even if we end up buried in a handful of earth, we'll be buried together."
This isn't about never making peace. Shen Yiqin will love Yin Li until death, and beyond.
Theme: Two people who know and cherish each other will never have a perfectly smooth road. Even when love faces hardship, we must believe that what is remembered without cease will one day be answered. Through every hardship, cherish yourself.
