Everyone envied Lan An for her privileged upbringing and smooth life, for being gently favored by time.
No one knew how empty her family life was. The only person she could rely on was Shiqi, her close family friend of twenty years.
Shiqi had spent years living beneath the shadow of poverty and her family's favoritism, full of insecurity and resentment. One day, she saw Wan Feng on the basketball court and secretly fell for him, only to witness the boy's eyes and heart belonging entirely to the dazzling Lan An.
She hid her feelings, never competing or making a fuss. Under the guise of friendship, she schemed at every turn and secretly drove them apart.
Taking advantage of the two people's timid, unspoken love, she created misunderstandings and sowed discord.
Lan An felt she had no right to be jealous, so she cried alone at night and deliberately kept her distance. Wan Feng mistakenly thought she despised him and gradually withdrew his affection.
Twenty years of friendship could not withstand the darkness in people's hearts. Their mutual love was defeated by silent schemes.
In the end, the confidants became strangers, their love was buried for a lifetime, and all that remained was an irreparable human tragedy.
The most hurtful thing is never the enemy's sword, but the best friend wearing a mask of kindness and watching your perfection slowly collapse.
No one here did anything wrong, it's just that the wind in Wutong Lane never crosses lovers.
