Mu Le's mother was the Jin family's wet nurse.
When Mu Le came with her mother to the Jin household, Jin Mubai had just been born. Mu Le was five years old that year.
Mu Le ended up staying at the Jin household with her mother, watching Jin Mubai grow up day by day. They were childhood friends.
When he grew up, Jin Mubai became a heaven-blessed prodigy, the pampered young master of the Jin family. Countless wealthy young women were in love with him.
She couldn't remember when it began, but she could no longer take her eyes off him. Yet the young man still affectionately called her Sister Mu Le, just as he always had.
So she could only bury her feelings in her heart. During the years she secretly loved Jin Mubai, she watched him fall in love again and again.
None of his relationships ever lasted long. Whenever one ended, he would lean against her shoulder and act spoiled, just as he had as a child. "Only Sister Mu Le deserves to stay by my side forever."
She had allowed herself to hope. After a sleepless night, even though she knew Jin Mubai was the moon in the sky, far above her, she still mustered the courage to confess her feelings.
The young man looked startled, but soon recovered, the corners of his lips curving into a charming smile. "Of course, I love Sister Mu Le best, too."
She was so happy she couldn't sleep all night. But the next day, Jin Mubai brought a girl with him, put an arm around her shoulder, and introduced her to Mu Le with a smile. "Sister, this is my new girlfriend."
That was when Mu Le finally gave up hope. She began trying to accept someone else. One day, after her date had thoughtfully walked her home, a young man slowly emerged from the shadows at the entrance to the stairwell. His eyes held a possessive, violent anger she had never seen before. "Sister, didn't you promise to stay by my side forever?"
From that day on, Jin Mubai changed completely.
