"My name is Yan Shun. Shun, as in smooth sailing."
But many years later, when he received that package, he found a long-unopened letter tucked inside the book he had lent her all those years ago. The yellowed paper and the handwriting left him stunned for a long time.
May this letter find you well. Reading your words feels like seeing you again.
Jiang Xunian.
Perhaps I should introduce myself to you again.
Hello, my name is Yan Shun.
I am Yan Shun, the girl whose parents forced her to marry a man in his forties for a bride price of 150,000 yuan; the girl who was treated as inferior because she was a girl, despised by her teachers, ostracized by her classmates, slandered with rumors about her sex life, and called a slut.
Shun, as in smooth sailing.
Those few opening words alone tore half of Jiang Xunian's heart out.
At the end, she left behind only a secret she could never bring herself to say aloud.
He broke his word twice in his life, while she wrote only two letters in hers.
This is the last letter, a farewell.
I'll tell you the secret beneath the fireworks when I wake up.
We part here, and never meet again.
Goodbye, Jiang Xunian.
The epiphyllum that bloomed just last night outside the window had already withered, just like her eighteenth year: it ended almost as soon as it began.
In her wedding dress, she was pure white and flawless, but it was her shackle, binding her eighteen-year-old self and the freedom and uninhibited life she would never have.
*Bad ending
*Short story
Theme: May all girls remain passionate forever
It hurts so much. I don't know why I kept crying after reading this article and couldn't let go for a long time. Was it Yan Shun's dark life, or was it the last moment when Jiang Xu Nian got married and started a career, forgetting Yan Shun's life. It was Yan Shun's final despair and he died before marrying that man. It was clear that the two people had a secret love in both directions, but in the end they came to a fork in the road. When I saw Jiang Xunian witness Yan Shun being held in the arms of that man and kissing her cheek, I was at a loss for a moment. However, he left so decisively that I didn't see Yan Shun's final tears. If Jiang Xunian had not seen that scene, if Jiang Xunian could listen to Yan Shun's explanation, would the end of the story be different? Will Jiang Xunian pull Yan Shun out of the darkness? But the ending of the story is that Yan Shun committed suicide by taking sleeping pills, Jiang Xu Nian forgot about Yan Shun, and the last letter also turned into ashes with the fire, just like the young love between Yan Shun and Jiang Xu Nian was gone forever. The old ideas of feudal families, parents who can marry their daughters to men in their forties just for 150,000 yuan, and classmates who make pornographic rumors, don't know the truth but think they are standing on the highest moral level to criticize those who think they are guilty. I really hate it, but it is also a true portrayal of some people's lives. Finally, I want to say that I am not sorry that Yan Shun finally decided to commit suicide. She was too tired. In this world, only Yan Qiao still loved her, and the young Jiang Xunian still loved her. Her death was actually a kind of relief. She went to find the boy who put the fairy stick for her. In the end, Jiang Xunian spent seven years forgetting Yan Shun and falling in love with another person. In fact, it was the end of reality. This was a relief for him and Yan Shun. The mountains and rivers are separated, and we will never see each other again. Yan Shun, I wish you peace and joy in your next life, without any disasters.
Speechless, I hate this feeling that the person who trusts you suddenly doesn't believe you, even more than the person who has always disbelieved in you. At least the latter will not give people expectations.
It's a pity that Jiang Xunian doesn't like Yanshun enough. It's a pity that Jiang Xunian only believes in his own eyes and doesn't listen to Yanshun's explanation. In the end, we are separated by mountains and rivers. I don't wish Jiang Xunian well. I hope that Yanshun will be brave, passionate and free in the next life.
I really cried to death. I couldn't help it because the male protagonist didn't believe in the female protagonist. May everything go smoothly in the next life.
It hurts so much, only Yanqiao loves Yanshun.
Why don't you believe in Shunshun? In the dream, I hope she meets the young Jiang Xunian instead of the already married Jiang Xunian.
The young Jiang Xunian was the light of Yanshun, but he failed to be her final salvation. He only left a little hope in her dark life, and then turned around and left, leaving her alone in the abyss. Yanshun was imprisoned in that misty light, and with his full love for Jiang Xunian, he stayed at the age of eighteen forever.
I read the full text, it was well written and I have never come out, but I am very selfish. The heroine is suffering, and the hero's distrust of her is her last life-saving straw. The hero is the heroine's light. The heroine could have lived a good life for him, but the hero's distrust made the heroine fall into the abyss instantly. The hero went abroad for seven years and forgot that the heroine fell in love with someone else. He did not even remember that the heroine existed. Later, he brought his wife and daughter back to China and saw the letter written by the heroine. And he actually has no guilt or emotion at all. He only remembers that he loves his wife very much. He has been abroad for seven years and has a four-year-old child. There is another child in his wife's belly, which means that he fell in love with someone else not long after he went abroad. Although this article is well written, I am very selfish. I always feel that selfish people like me always think that the male protagonist should not be happy. It is normal for you to fall in love with someone else after you have been abroad for so long. I would not say this in any other plot. But he did the thing that I hate the most. Your distrust really made the heroine's last bit of faith collapse. In the end, there was a saying that there was no need to keep someone who would never meet again, and there was no apology. Although it could not save anything, I can only say that the heroine was too miserable, and leaving was the best ending for herself. The above are just personal thoughts...
Good luck, good luck in your next life
As expected, people can only rely on themselves to survive. I hate people who regard others as salvation and light. This article is the most uncomfortable. The bad people are living a good life, but the good people are sleeping here. Except for the heroine, there is no good person, even if it is the male protagonist, he is even more disgusting and hypocritical.
