A poor, beautiful photographer × a wealthy old-money CEO
A faux "kept lover" | Reconciliation after a breakup | The husband-chasing crematorium
The year Jiang Chen met Zhou Qiyun, she was eighteen.
He was the eldest son of the Zhou family of Jingbei, the designated heir. He had never even flown economy class, and had no idea how she had made her way north on an old-fashioned train, all the way to the city where he had been born and raised.
Everyone said they were worlds apart, and she knew it too.
Until one night, Zhou Qiyun kissed away the sweat on her collarbone.
"Let's break up," he said calmly. "I can give you everything except marriage."
Jiang Chen was silent for a long time before answering, "All right."
Later, she left Jingbei, where she had spent four whole years.
She moved to a small town. There were no rows of towering buildings or dazzling lights like in Jingbei, only blue-gray roof tiles and brick walls, with fish lanterns shining in the night. She thought they would never see each other again.
Then, on a rainy night with the lanterns glowing in the distance, she saw Zhou Qiyun, whom she had not seen in years.
She never imagined that the once so arrogant man would have red-rimmed eyes.
Zhou Qiyun was dressed in fine clothes, but his trouser cuffs were caked in mud. He looked unlike anyone she had ever seen before.
He held her tightly, his voice trembling. "It was all my fault before.
"Can you forgive me?"
How could she possibly have stopped loving me?
