After seven years together, Tang Ruan obediently played the role of Huo Yanchuan's future devoted wife, swallowing her bitterness and smiling for everyone.
It was only because Huo Yanchuan had once told her that after seven years, he would settle down and get married.
For those words, Tang Ruan gritted her teeth and endured countless nights in tears.
Until the day of their seventh anniversary, when she saw Huo Yanchuan hang up on her without hesitation just to soothe his temperamental new flame, then publicly humiliate her as if she were worthless.
"Tang Ruan? She's like a clingy plaster. If it weren't for the ties between the Huo and Tang families, I'd be annoyed just having to look at her."
His new flame beamed again, while Tang Ruan's heart sank into an icy abyss.
So in his eyes, all these years of love had been nothing but a burden she had forced on him, relying on the two families' long-standing friendship. He had wanted to escape for a long time.
After crying all night, Tang Ruan decided to let go.
She persuaded her parents to go to the Huo family and call off the engagement, then packed her bags and left the country.
She thought nothing could disturb her peaceful life from then on, until she spotted a face in the crowd that was identical to Huo Yanchuan's.
Suddenly, she understood.
