# She Doesn't Love You, She's Just Using You
A gloomy, damp, penniless girl bent on revenge x a stubborn, devoted dog who follows close behind her, tail wagging every day
A story of redemption
*
Six years ago, Shi You left Gu Che a note:
"I'm leaving. Don't look for me."
Six years later, the first thing Gu Che said to Shi You was:
"You ran away and came back. I promise I'll make you wish you were dead."
Shi You knew he was capable of it, but paid him no mind.
Half her soul was frozen in that lake, surrounded by a primeval forest with no way out.
The local guides told tourists her name was Liv. In Norwegian, the name meant "life." Only those with the fiercest will to live could survive there.
Tourists came and went, while Shi You stayed by the wooden cabin.

Gu Che asked, "Do you regret leaving me that note?"
If she hadn't written those three words, he would have gone looking for her long ago, turning the earth upside down to find her.
Shi You's answer was simple.
"No."
Gu Che was the one who truly wished he were dead.
She didn't like him, so she told him not to look for her when she left.
She didn't love him either, so she had never thought of relying on him.
She didn't even hate him, which was why she had no regrets.
Even during the days of polar night, she never once thought of having him come find her.

Shi You reminded him, "There's no point in doing this."
She had survived in a place like that, let alone in a room where people waited on her hand and foot. The Arctic permafrost had long since worn away her capacity for love and desire.
Gu Che's fingers brushed her cheek as he smiled faintly. "How could it be pointless?"
"Haven't you always wanted freedom?"
"As long as you're by my side, you'll always be free."
Shi You turned her head away. It was trusting those words that had landed her in a cage in the first place.
She had read those words a thousand times:
"If freedom is what you seek."
