There was never a colder winter than the one when he and Lin Yue Bai broke up. The young woman casually spoke of everything she had shared with his dead brother, all of it before she had ever met him.
Shi Yu stood on a snow-covered street. Beneath the skin of a man who had never let anything faze him, his muscles and bones ached with cold, and his teeth chattered. He wanted to beg Lin Yue Bai not to break up with him, but he knew that even if he fell to his knees, he wouldn't win so much as a trace of her pity.
The young woman was like a bewitching cloud of smoke, scattering with the wind and vanishing without a trace. In an instant, she shattered the dignity he had guarded for more than twenty years.
His proud back bowed as though crushed beneath a mountain, and at last he bent.
He had everything. All he wanted was Lin Yue Bai.
I love you, so I want you to stay by my side every day.
But the person in Lin Yue Bai's heart was his half-brother. He could never measure up to a dead man, and could only hope to make her look back by relying on a face that resembled his brother's.
He had always known how cruel she could be, yet he was still willing to kneel in the mud for her.
Amid the lights of this world, you should know how much I love you, even if I lay my dignity in the dust.
