After three years of secret entanglement, Shen Jingque became Fu Hanzhou's lover, hidden from the world.
He saw her as a docile substitute, a pawn to use whenever he pleased.
He lavished her with money and luxury, then ground her dignity into the dirt.
She gave blood for his white moonlight, took the blame for her, and endured endless cold shoulders.
She never argued or made a scene, as obedient as if she had no feelings at all.
Fu Hanzhou thought she would never leave him.
Until the surgery that ruined half her life. He was absent from start to finish.
She gave up her piano, let go of her love, and severed every tie that bound her to him over those three years.
One letter ended it. They owed each other nothing.
She vanished from the world, leaving no trace across mountains or seas.
Later, he searched for her like a madman, crossing a thousand cities, but found no way to atone.
When they met again, her eyes and brows were gentle. She treated everyone kindly, but looked at him with nothing but distant unfamiliarity.
