In the story, Shen Yan, who had returned to China pregnant, was believed to be reconciling with Song Jinshu. Initially, Song remained noncommittal, unsure of the truth. However, witnessing Shen's undivided affection for another, she discovered a side of him she hadn't seen before – a deep love for someone else.
The devastating loss of their child made Song realize that Shen's gentle and caring nature was forever beyond her reach. Reflecting on their decade-long infatuation, she felt a profound sense of sadness and regret. Clinging to a frozen memory, she expressed her exhaustion, saying, "Shen Yan, let's end this marriage. It's time we both stop hurting each other."
Throughout their relationship, Shen believed that he owed something to Song. This misunderstanding prevented him from comprehending her desire for a divorce. He interpreted it as a retreat seeking sympathy. But as the truth unraveled, he discovered that, in reality, he was the one who had been in debt emotionally all along.
