She Died on Black Pine Ridge the Night After Her Wedding

On their wedding night, Lu Zheng said coldly, "This marriage was approved by the organization."

Shen Wanyi submitted a divorce report, but that very night, after her father was ambushed and went missing in Heisong Ridge, she fell alone from a cliff.

Lu Zheng searched frantically for three months, finding only one of her embroidered shoes.

Three years later, in a small town in the south.

With red-rimmed eyes, Lu Zheng knocked on the door of a photo studio.

The woman inside had cut her hair short and held the hand of a little girl whose features looked seven parts like his. She raised her eyes indifferently. "Comrade Lu, you've got the wrong person."

Only later did he learn that she hadn't died. She had taken his child with her and personally cut off every path back for them both.
