Ying Mian's parents died when she was young, and her older brother, a big star, sent her to live with the Song family.
One day, she accidentally came across her brother and Song Monian's fiancee embracing and kissing in a corridor.
She heard her future sister-in-law sigh softly, "If only someone could tempt Song Monian into cheating, so that he'd be the one to call off the engagement."
Ying Mian gave it some thought.
She changed her usual attitude and became unfailingly respectful, obsequious, and attentive toward Song Monian, catering to his every emotional need. Even when he switched off the bedside lamp, she could praise him: "Thank you, Brother Monian. Even the darkness from your lamp is darker than anyone else's."
When she learned her brother was about to confront Song Monian, Ying Mian decided to move out of the Song house.
Before leaving, she gave him a bouquet of yellow roses and prepared a handwritten card designed to record audio.
[Gentle men are like the ocean, hiding their love when it matters. Be the moonlight watching from afar, not a wall that blocks your way. My love means breaking off my own wings to give you flight...]
Yellow roses symbolize letting go, and the song A Man Like the Ocean advises him to be kind.
But Song Monian tore the card to pieces and warned her with a vicious look, "When I love someone, I break her wings so she'll never dream of flying."

The day Ying Cheng's relationship was exposed, scandals spread everywhere, and his career took a nosedive.
Ying Mian went to Song Monian and begged him humbly to spare her brother, saying she'd do anything.
Song Monian leaned against the hospital bed and scoffed. His voice carried a hint of mockery. "Anything?"
Ying Mian lowered her eyes and nodded.
When she heard the utterly absurd request,
Ying Mian turned and left angrily.
Later, her best friend asked, "Why didn't you agree?"
Ying Mian said, "I was afraid I wouldn't be able to stop myself from laughing too obviously. He'd regret it if he noticed..."

One day after she was forced to give in.
Ying Mian was hiding in Song Monian's bed.
In the quiet suite, Ying Cheng was wondering whether he should honor the childhood betrothal between his younger sister and Song Monian's nephew.
Song Monian, his bathrobe half-wet, leaned against the sofa and spoke in his usual calm tone. "Arranged marriages are immoral and illegal."
Ying Cheng said, "It's not that bad. Maybe my sister likes him too."
"Oh? Is that so?" Song Monian asked casually.
Hidden under the covers, Ying Mian covered her mouth with her hand and didn't dare make a sound.
My new novel, When I Meet You, is updating now. Please add it to your favorites
Xu Zhiyi and Lu Fengting first met beside a rice paddy.
Seven-year-old Xu Zhiyi was helping her parents transplant rice seedlings in the flooded field.
Lu Fengting, meanwhile, had come with his kindergarten class to experience farming.
Xu Zhiyi was barefoot, weaving through the mud and helping the adults hand out seedlings,
while the pampered young master, frowning in his rain boots, stubbornly refused to step into the paddy.
The narrow field ridge separated their two worlds.
Six years later, Xu Zhiyi earned excellent grades and left the countryside to attend the city's most prestigious middle school.
She and Lu Fengting became desk mates, for three years and then another three.
At the graduation banquet after their final year of high school, a tipsy classmate sitting in front of her gossiped that Lu Fengting had received a thirty-million-yuan house for his eighteenth birthday.
Xu Zhiyi looked up at the sky. "Even in my dreams, I only dare dream of five million."

On the day Xu Zhiyi received her PhD offer, she happened to hear that Lu Fengting was engaged.
Beneath a sky full of fireworks, tears silently fell, and no one noticed.
She listened to the river wind all night.
Just before dawn, she sent Lu Fengting a congratulatory text.
She put her phone away and kept telling herself: Let this long-standing crush end here. They were from two different worlds to begin with.
Just as she was about to leave, her phone chimed with a text.
She stared at the screen, stunned, her eyes reddening.
[Lu Fengting: The bride ran away. Would you come and save the day?]
Theme: Stay confident and steadfast, and good things will come in time.
I would like to ask, will the people who hurt the heroine be punished as they should? There is no sign of it up to this point in Chapter 16, and even the protagonist has no doubts🤨
I want to read it. When I meet you, when will the article be published?
It's been a long time since I updated the article. Are you very busy?
For those who sleep late, there is something to read. I have finally updated it [Spreading Flowers].
Damn, you are finally back [Spread flowers]
I just want to see when the person who hurt the heroine will be punished. The subtitles of the later chapters don't mention it at all. Did it take so long?
It's really off my appetite.
[Purple Sugar] Update kswl quickly. I finished reading it in one go. The author's writing style is so delicate 🎆 [Spreading Flowers]
It's good to read, but not many people read this book. It's a pity that many people don't know about it 💪 💪 💪
Waiting for many days is finally here 🎆
