In college, Shu Wan and Jiang Yan had a brief relationship.
The day they got together, she had just left a bar.
Snow swirled in the air, blanketing the world in white.
Facing into the wind and snow, she scrubbed her dirty hands again and again with alcohol wipes.
A black Bentley pulled up. The window slid down, revealing a man with a tiny mole at the corner of his eye. His expression was cool, but he said, "Get in. I'll take you home."
Like someone drowning who grabs the last piece of driftwood, Shu Wan, on the verge of suffocating, reached for Jiang Yan that day.

Everyone at Nanqing University said Shu Wan had gotten together with Jiang Yan for no reason other than her ethereal beauty.
But no one knew that Shu Wan had always been the moon in Jiang Yan's heart.
He had thought that years of unrequited love would earn him a passionate romance with her.
He never expected that, in their final year of college, Shu Wan would decide to pursue a career abroad and invite him to dinner to break up.
He kept his composure until she stood to leave. Only then did he look up at her eyes, so detached from the world. "Am I just a toy you can pick up whenever you want and throw away when you don't?"
"I'm sorry," Shu Wan said gravely, without looking at him again. "Just pretend you never knew me."

Later, Jiang Yan came down with a serious illness.
After recovering, he rose to prominence and became a rising star in the industry, though rumors said he had no interest in women.
Until one day, someone at a banquet saw Jiang Yan drag Shu Wan, the renowned traditional Chinese painter who had recently returned to China, into a room on the second floor.
"Shu Wan, you have no heart." His Adam's apple bobbed as he leaned close to her ear, his voice filled with an aching tenderness. "Do you know I've been waiting for you all this time?"

Ning Sui had always lived by the rules, yet she impulsively married a man she had met only twice.
The first time, she'd just been fired and got caught in a malfunctioning elevator, accidentally spilling coffee all over him.
The second time, unable to raise money for her mother's surgery, she broke down sobbing in the hospital stairwell. The man, who had come out for a cigarette, handed her a black card. "Use this."
She looked up in shock, her vision blurred with tears as she met his sinister gaze.
The man said nothing more. He bent down, set the card beside her with a business card, then turned and left.
She lowered her eyes and read his name: Shang Yanzhou.
She had heard of him, the eldest son of the wealthy and powerful Shang family. He owned dozens of companies across a wide range of industries, including the company she had just been fired from.
With nowhere else to turn, Ning Sui used his card to pay the bill. After her mother's successful surgery, she called him and asked, "Mr. Shang, what do you want?"
The man's voice on the other end was low, lazy, and magnetic, threaded with an inscrutable laugh. "I want you to marry me."
*
After the wedding, they lived together but never crossed the line.
Ning Sui always thought their marriage was nothing more than a transaction of mutual benefit.
All she had to do was play the part of his loving wife in public and help him secure the inheritance worth hundreds of billions. Once the old master Shang died, she could be free again.
In the third month of their marriage, her old friend and first love returned to China.
She went to welcome him, only to run into Shang Yanzhou at the airport as he returned from a business meeting.
He didn't expose the fact that she was married in front of her first love.
She thought he wouldn't mind. But that night, he carried her into the bathtub, his burning fingertips wiping the moisture from her lips as he asked again and again, "Why did you pick him up, but not me?"
"Sui Sui, how am I not as good as him?"
Later, Ning Sui remembered an old incident
When she was seventeen, she had thrown away the love letter he wrote her.
Back then, his name was Lin Yanzhou.
Theme: Build a harmonious society
I like it, it looks good, the characters are well created, and the male and female protagonists are both good. The story between the male and female protagonists is very touching and sweet. It's comforting. Their relationship is unique. I am very satisfied with the fact that the heroine does not want children. Girls are free to have children or not, and we have the right to refuse. This is the first time I have seen the ending of a novel where the heroine has no children. The author creates an independent, sane and capable woman. I got a lot of inspiration after reading it. The male protagonist is also great. He respects the female protagonist, treats her very well, and is a very considerate man. Gentle and loyal dog, what a good man! I really like the way the author sets up the male protagonist. He has no white moonlight, no ex, no romantic partner, and no childhood sweetheart. It's so clean. It's simply a human delusion, it shouldn't exist in reality, haha
I will like every article I see about not having children (
Isn't this a disease? If you can give birth to a child, why don't you say that you can't give birth? Go and adopt one.
Thanks for accompanying me! Some childhood traumas take a lifetime to heal.
Finished spreading flowers!!!!! Brother Yan and Wanwan may they be happy and happy for a long time!!! ❤️❤️
It took me a long time to finish reading this book! The relationship before breaking up was like an immature fruit, sour and sweet, but after getting back together, it was only sweet! I really like the male protagonist who is devoted to the heroine. When he talks about depression, I feel so sad. It's really cool not to have kids. Jiang Yan's excuse also shocked me, hahahaha! A very nice book!
Ah ah ah, I feel so sorry for the full moon.
It's rare to see the subject of amniotic fluid embolism in popular science. I really like the heroine (???????)
This book is really great. There is a lot of controversy about our Wanwan. Many people say that our Wanwan is too cruel and don't like her. But I personally think that since we have not lived in the environment in which she grew up, we cannot see her through our current eyes. I really like Wan Wan's character. She takes revenge when she wants to and won't let herself be wronged. Why is Wan Wan so cruel to our Jiang Yan! When our Wanwan was with Jiang Yan, her idea was to enjoy herself in time, and she was very sober. She had seen how her father deceived her mother, how her mother had given up her hobby because of such an unworthy person, and even died of amniotic fluid embolism during childbirth. So she hates people lying to her. She doesn't want to have children, doesn't want to fall into a relationship, and doesn't want to follow her mother's path. Reproductive rights are in the hands of women, so she has the right not to have children. She is the protagonist of this book. Some people may think that a paper person would give birth to a child. But in the eyes of the author, and in my eyes, she is just a person living in another world, with flesh and blood. Her mother's death caused an indelible impact on her. Our Wanwan is really a good person. She will pursue her dreams, and she realizes them on her own. Wanwan will work hard to fight for what belongs to her. She went abroad to better improve herself. What's more, she found out that Jiang Yan had cheated on her at that time. She didn't realize how much she liked Jiang Yan at that time. Our Jiang Yan was also born in love and fell in love with our Wan Wan at first sight. Maybe it's because I haven't chased anyone before and I used the wrong method, but fortunately the result is good. We, Jiang Yan, don't know how to be ourselves when we are in love. All we want is to be a perfect partner, so that later on, when we, Wan Wan, find out that there is something wrong with him, we will want to break up. Because our Jiang Yan's performance in Wan Wan's was really too perfect, so perfect that Wan Wan couldn't accept any flaws in him. After the breakup, both babies suffered. One smoked crazily and the other suffered from depression and even self-mutilated. I feel really sorry for these two babies. But fortunately, we, Wanwan, got her back after returning to China. Our main character CP is really good-looking. Although there are a few flaws in his character, no one is perfect in the first place. We, Jiang Yan, don't want Wan Wan to be born, so we just say that we can't do it because we love our wife so much. In fact, adopted children who grow up in a loving environment are no different from biological children. Our full moon is like a little sun. Qiao Ruiyang is also a very kind person, but his heart is full of Lingyi. I hate it! I hate that there is no if line in this book. I really hope that Ling Yi did not die and she was with Qiao Ruiyang. We are full moon looking for someone else to love. But it has an open ending, and my heart felt like it was being pulled when I saw them. Our Lingyi doesn't appear a few times in the book, but to me Lingyi is really from Bai Yueguang, and Lingyi is their intimate big sister. It's such a pity for Ling Yi. She is still so young and her future is so bright. Everyone has their own shortcomings. When we readers read novels, there is no need to pursue the perfection of the characters. After all, no one is perfect. I'm going to read this book a second time! It's really beautiful, but I'm just a little sorry! I think the real book can really be published, but the number of words is a bit short, and it ends before I can read enough. I hope that Our Roses will get better and better.
I don't like the heroine very much. It's too cruel. Leaving the hero, having a baby with the latter, and letting the hero adopt her is too cruel. Just because your mother has amniotic fluid embolism, doesn't mean you will.
