Letting Go of Every Tenderness, I Return You to the Crowd

The year Xie Zhiyun graduated from college, the Xie family went bankrupt. Her father was forced into prison, her mother suffered a stroke, and her fiancé, Sheng Nanting, couldn’t wait to rid himself of the burden she’d become. He married her sworn enemy in a lavish public ceremony. The news of the happy occasion filled the giant screens above the city, while Xie Zhiyun was cornered by creditors in a filthy, foul-smelling alley and told to sell her body to repay her debts. Just as Xie Zhiyun was ready to fight to the death, Shen Shubai appeared out of nowhere. He paid off her debts and summoned the world’s top doctors to operate on her mother. Sadly, her mother still didn’t survive, and Shen Shubai proposed to her. “Zhizhi, from now on, I’ll be your family.” He kept his promise. Everyone in Nancheng knew that Xie Zhiyun was the apple of Shen Shubai’s eye. Then, three years later, Xie Zhiyun unexpectedly learned she had stomach cancer. She also overheard Shen Shubai talking with a friend: “Shubai, when are you going to divorce Xie Zhiyun? She’s been used by other men. She’s not good enough for you.” “You gave her mother’s heart to Gu Wanting. That still doesn’t mean you have to marry her!” Shen Shubai’s voice turned bitter. “I know those people used her and left her broken. Just thinking about it disgusts me. But Wanting and Sheng Nanting weren’t married yet. If I didn’t marry Xie Zhiyun, she’d definitely go back to him and keep pestering him.” “For Wanting, I’d do anything.”
