Never Forgotten, How Can I Recall?

He hid from her for ten years. She forgot him for ten years.

Shen Nianxuan never imagined that the man she first met at her grandfather's funeral would turn out to be her fiancé.

It was only when the Gu family's lawyer arrived with their marriage contract that she learned their families had arranged the match before they were born.

On the day Shen Nianxuan married into the Gu family, Gu Linchuan didn't show up. She spent the entire night alone in their wedding chamber.

After that, he left early and came home late. Under the same roof, they crossed paths only a handful of times each month.

She knew, and everyone in their circle knew, that Su Wanqing, the eldest daughter of the Su family, had Gu Linchuan's heart.

But she didn't mind.

The bankrupt Shen family needed the Gu family's support, and needed her as a pawn to win Gu Linchuan's favor.

Their relationship was nothing more than a contract with a set price.

She gave up so much: her dignity, her feelings, and even the child she and Gu Linchuan had together.

Later, heartbroken, Shen Nianxuan faked her death and escaped, finally leaving S City, the place that had brought her both happiness and pain.

But Gu Linchuan began searching for her like a madman.

Much later, he cornered her on a street in a small southern city. Eyes bloodshot, he held out a charred bracelet.

“Nian Nian, I hurt you. I thought you hated me, that you despised me... I just didn't dare face you again...”

Shen Nianxuan stared at him for a long time, then gently shook her head. “Gu Linchuan, I don't remember a single thing you're talking about.”

He spent half his life consumed by guilt. She spent ten years forgetting.

In the end, it was just a story of Nian Nian no longer knowing him.
