In the bustling city of Qingcheng, it's well-known that the esteemed businessman Chi Jinyan possesses a private and elusive wife. She captivates guests with her piano performances at exclusive clubs, effortlessly bares herself to the public's gaze, diving into pools and enduring indignities, even stoically kneeling in frigid snow in silent prayer for his heart. Surprisingly, all these actions, though unconventional, are tacitly condoned by Chi Jinyan.
However, in a moment of unexpected vulnerability, Chi Jinyan tenderly lowered himself, cradling her lifeless face, and humbly sought her answer to one question – whether she could return his love. Her lips curved in a forlorn smile, her eyes brimming with despair, as she replied with a resolute "No."
He couldn't comprehend, "Doesn't this... fulfill your desires?" She had excelled in everything else, save for loving him. Hand in hand with another, she chose to walk away from him, leaving behind a trail of unspoken longing.
I cried a lot on this novel. The ML has suffered and has helped the FL silently without anything in return. There were a lot of misunderstanding though and missed chances. Hope that every one should give this novel a chance.
