It's a pity their love only began after death.
An 18-year-old stubborn high school boy x a 26-year-old beautiful, pleasure-loving heiress x a 30-year-old domineering CEO in a marriage that turns to love
01
He Jiayan's husband, Lou Zhuyu, disappeared at sea less than a year after their arranged marriage.
To her, whether this marriage existed or not made little difference.
After all, their understanding of each other was limited to the bed that had borne witness to countless nights.
Strangely, right outside the gates of her old high school,
a familiar figure, in a completely different guise, suddenly entered her sight.
It was a younger version of Lou Zhuyu, his face not yet fully rid of its youthful innocence.
His eyes shone with the unique light of a boy, and his stubbornness had yet to be tempered by the world.
He was utterly different from the reserved, steady, and cold-hearted Lou Zhuyu she remembered.
The young Lou Zhuyu possessed an irresistible freshness and vitality.
He Jiayan found him so alluring that, naturally, she whisked him home.
02
Zhuang Fuyan studied the woman before him, who claimed to be his future wife.
Every word she spoke seemed to carry a power that was hard to resist, making him want to believe her without thinking.
If only her fair, delicate fingers weren't clasped tightly around a man who seemed to be very close to her,
Zhuang Fuyan might almost have been persuaded by her words.
How could his future lead him to the altar with a woman whose affections were divided?
03
Lou Zhuyu, a name that commanded the business world. His methods were so brilliant that he was a legend in the industry.
Every decision was like a carefully laid game of chess, each move deliberate, until his opponents were defeated one by one.
People usually saw only his cold, ruthless, decisive side.
Few knew that Lou Zhuyu had once said to his wife, his voice almost choked with emotion:
"It's all right if you choose him. He can stay by your side a little longer than I can."
Note 1:
The title was inspired by Bai Juyi's poem "A Letter Sent Again": "Within this vast world, those who do not die will meet again."
Note 2:
Lou Zhuyu changed his name. In his youth, he went by Zhuang Fuyan.
Lou Zhuyu will of course come back later.
