When Wen Shiqing had just moved into her new home near Ancheng University, the sublandlord kindly warned her not to knock on the neighbor’s door casually. The man inside was cold and aloof, and not a good person to mess with.
She agreed at once, then promptly forgot all about it. Every day, she carried on as usual, cooking delicious food, filming videos, and going to class.
Until one day, she ran into her cheating ex-boyfriend again. In a foul mood, she downed several bottles of alcohol, then stood outside her home unable to find her keys. By a strange twist of fate, she knocked on the neighbor’s door.
A moment later, the door opened. Wen Shiqing froze when she saw the person before her.
The man wore black pajamas, and a deep red mark showed at the base of his neck.
Leaning against the doorframe, he lowered his eyes and chuckled. “Can you tell who’s standing in front of you now?”
“...?”
Wen Shiqing sobered up halfway on the spot and tried to run, only to be firmly caught with one hand.
“Stop running.” He bent down to meet her eyes, guiding her hand to the bite mark on his Adam’s apple. “This, at least, deserves some compensation tonight.”

After they married, Wen Shiqing helped Liang Zhiyan fend off his family’s urging, as they had agreed. But she never expected him to spoil her even more than he had when they were children, indulging her and granting her every request.
The art exhibition in the year they graduated.
Liang Zhiyan was invited to attend as an outstanding alumnus, and the college had set aside a dedicated exhibition space for him.
On opening day, a group of students gathered around a painting on the first floor of the gallery, whispering and gossiping.
When she heard them mention Liang’s name, Wen Shiqing walked over curiously, only to discover that the series of paintings was called My Mrs. Liang. The model for the figures in the paintings was her, from the age of eight to twenty-two.
Fourteen paintings, showing how she had grown and changed over fourteen years.
Just as Wen Shiqing stood there in astonishment, someone gently tapped her shoulder.
Liang Zhiyan slowly drew her into his arms and kissed her forehead. “Happy graduation, Mrs. Liang.”
