Silent and Still

Zhou Ran was the heiress of the wealthy Zhou family, adored by both her parents. Lin Shen was a cold, aloof top student, with excellent grades and perfect looks. Unfortunately, he was a poor mute.

Zhou Ran had never thought much of Lin Shen. But one day, when there was no one else at home, Lin Shen, who worked part-time as a delivery courier, brought a package right to her door.

She saw his handsome, astonished face, and her compassion overflowed. From then on, she fell for him.

Zhou Ran pursued Lin Shen, but he never responded. Then, when they were graduating, he tricked her into choosing a school on the opposite end of the country and told her, "I don't like you. I need money. Your family gave me a sum of money."

Zhou Ran went abroad, and was gone for eight years.

Eight years later, she earned her doctorate and returned to her hometown, where she opened a counseling studio with a friend.

When she saw Lin Shen again, his looks didn't turn her head. She only regretted how foolish she'd been to fall for such a heartless man.

The hero's perspective:

She was as noble as a goddess, while he lay in the dust.

The girl's kindness left him stunned. She didn't know that he had fallen for her the very first time he saw her at school.

Unlike his gloomy self, she always seemed to face the sun.

He loved her secretly and humbly, until her family came to find him and told him they had found a doctor who could treat his vocal cords.

If he left Zhou Ran, he would be able to speak again.

On graduation day, he looked at her sadly and took the only photograph of the two of them.

He chose to undergo treatment for his vocal cords. He wanted to give her back a whole Lin Shen.

Eight years later, he had become a leading tycoon.

Zhou Ran was like a naive little rabbit, falling into his trap step by step.

Her return home, their reunion, the dinner party, the blind date, even their engagement: all of it was part of his plan.

But then he discovered that Zhou Ran no longer loved him. She had even secretly given him a nickname: "Dog Shit."

After a long wait and even longer restraint, he finally snapped.

"Dog Shit, huh? Ranran, you owe me. Pay me back."

Give back the heart you haven't completely filled. If you can't, then keep loving me.
