She Is a Sparrow in His Palm

The story begins when Ye Qingming marries a man she has met only once, becoming Mrs. Jing. "Victoria Harbour was unbearably cold that day. You shielded me from my father's slap, and I knew I'd married the right man." "But, Mr. Jing, what was your original reason for marrying me?" "Mr. Jing, when I was having a difficult labor, were you hoping we would both survive, or that one of us would die in the other's place?" Many years later, someone asked Jing Xizhou, "Back then, did you ever soften toward Ye Qingming?" "Perhaps," he said. At this point, who would bother to pursue what really happened?
