I have also thought about what the world would be like without me. Then thank you, fortunately I am here now, and I am still alive with hope. ——Jiang Sui

Five years ago, Gu Chengxiao, a business prodigy, disregarded the friendship between the Jiang and Gu families and openly resisted his engagement with the daughter of the Jiang family for the sake of a woman of unknown origin. For a time, he became known as a talented and beautiful woman;
Five years later, the most exciting news in Jincheng was that the elegant and noble President Gu proposed to Jiang Sui again, expressing his sincerity and willingness to marry for a hundred years.
Overnight, women's envy and jealousy filled Jincheng, but they all fantasized about such a luxurious and beautiful wedding.
But late at night, some people still think of the love that shocked the whole city back then, but now the beauty has disappeared and Gu Chengxiao has married a new love.
A reporter asked him: "Why is President Gu now...?" The words that followed were self-evident.
Gu Chengxiao's eyes did not change, and his tone was always cold: "I was young and frivolous at that time, but now I just want peace of mind."
At that time, everyone said that the prince loved the princess after all.
But Jiang Sui knew that Gu Chengxiao once held the photo in his hand and only had eyes for that pretty and bright person, and he was no longer indifferent.

After the marriage, everyone envied her good fortune: when she attended a banquet, she would turn around and see him, their fingers intertwined and never leaving her, waiting for her tenderly.
Those who knew the truth ridiculed: "You are just a substitute."
Jiang Sui smiled calmly: "I have never been moved by him, so it doesn't matter whether he is a replacement or not." She has her responsibilities and her mission, so why talk about love?
But Jiang Sui finally broke his promise.
She took advantage of her status to witness with her own eyes a man's almost crazy love for a woman, and she was moved.
She thought that it was not easy for her to love someone, but he still had appreciation and responsibility for her love, so she might as well stay with him until his face was wrinkled.
The years are peaceful, but they are no match for the prepared truth: "He only married you because the woman he loved died to save you, and you are so shameless that you want to steal someone's love!"
At that time, her tone was slightly sarcastic: "Don't even think about having a good time if you can't get someone else. I'm talking about you."
Behind the scenes, she was confused: should she continue to ignore it or leave?

In "Love in a Fallen City", Fan Liuyuan said to Bai Liusu, if you knew me in the past, you might forgive me now. But, Gu Chengxiao, if you knew me in the past, would you fall in love with me now?
