Zhou Siyun was born into a prestigious family. He was worldly and passionate. Back then, Song Yutong was merely an illegitimate second daughter whom her family refused to acknowledge. The two of them were worlds apart.
Their families' history left them with no choice but to be bound together. She was his fiancee in name only.
Song Yutong remembered the last time she had seen Zhou Siyun was a month earlier. Not long after he had proposed they break up, his parents suddenly summoned them home to discuss their engagement.
After that, she learned that tenderness could be faked.
Zhou Siyun could casually and affectionately put an arm around her shoulders, using the intimate pet names lovers called each other to keep up appearances.
But he would never marry her.
As she left the Zhou residence, she leaned against the car seat, visibly unhappy. Her expression displeased Zhou Siyun.
He had lowered his face and sneered, "You're disappointed my brother isn't here, aren't you?"
She said nothing.
Zhou Siyun gave a derisive laugh, his tone carefree and languid. "I'm just your backup plan."
Later, Song Yutong would dream countless times of the moment he said those words. If only she had paid closer attention then, she would have noticed the city lights shining through the gap in the car window, illuminating the man's profile as it disappeared into the night...
There was more self-doubt and self-mockery in his expression.

Theme: Saving each other
I'm serious. The writing is a bit messy. I can't say it's ugly, but I can't say it's really good either. Come on, author (;?Д`)
I really like this novel! But I still feel a little uncomfortable with the fact that the male protagonist really started another relationship seriously, because the male protagonist really loves that Ms. Shen, judging from the details described by the author. But if the male protagonist really loves the person named Shen, then the male protagonist will not reunite with the female protagonist. Even if he breaks up with the female protagonist, it will be a new relationship. But then again, the male protagonist wants to reunite with the female protagonist. This shows that the male protagonist's true love is the female protagonist, but since his true love is the female protagonist, how can he really fall in love with another girl? I hope the author can round this up.
It's so exciting. I'll update it tonight or tomorrow 🥺 half of it is gone, like shit, half of it is pinched off
Ahhhhhh, I really don't understand the relationship line. The female protagonist and the male protagonist broke up. The male protagonist just fell in love with another woman, and the love was very serious. Later, the woman broke up unilaterally and flew abroad. The male protagonist actually wanted to pursue her. Forget it, there was no official ending. After breaking up with the woman in such a confused way, it was not clear whether he still loved the woman. Can I understand that the male protagonist still loves the woman, but the woman no longer wants him, so the male protagonist came back to marry the female protagonist. Then he fell in love with the heroine so easily. What the hell is this? After finishing the relationship between the hero and the girl, it means that he no longer loves the girl before he gets married and then falls in love with the heroine.
I didn't realize how affectionate the male protagonist is towards the female protagonist [Hold your chin]
It's over.. I'm quite reluctant to let it go. Although the ending is very happy, there is still too little sweet interaction between the two [Joker]
Won't you update today? You're late [angry]
I haven't read it yet, but after five thousand words, I will praise 😍
Looking forward to the follow-up. When will they know that they are important to each other?
Has the author considered writing about Cen west and Cen Huai Jing [Make Me Kangkang]
