Xiaoyuan loved his ex to pieces.
For five years, he cared for his every need, day in and day out.
He carefully reined in his dependent, love-seeking nature, striving to play the independent, perfect lover his partner wanted him to be.
He loved what his partner loved and thought what his partner thought. In the end, all he got in return was resentment, deceit, contempt, and bone-deep scorn.
In the end, like a bunch of Valentine's Day daisies someone had rejected, he was hurled down beside a trash can. The rain poured as the petals scattered across the ground.
Then, on a rainy day, Mr. Pei picked up the battered bouquet and lovingly tended to him in a greenhouse. Only then did he understand:
He could shamelessly laugh and play in his lover's arms, sheltered from every storm.
Even as a man, he could be someone else's most treasured love.
He deserved to be cherished.
Mr. Pei was used to giving his exes the very best.
Whether it was wealth, resources, or connections, he never let Mrs. Pei suffer the slightest hardship.
But it seemed that sincerity could never win sincerity in return. The effort he had poured into his ex became a blade aimed at his own heart.
Just as he began to think that being alone was the best possible ending, he happened upon a shivering young man in the pouring rain.
Only then did Mr. Pei realize that his true Mrs. Pei was lying in a damp, filthy mire,
suffering every hardship the world had to offer.
