When the confession letter was made public by Gu Yincheng,
Su Nian’s heart died on that stormy night.

Once, Gu Yincheng’s gentleness had been like a beam of light,
Illuminating the bleakness of her world.

But when that light went out,
Su Nian yielded to her Father’s request—
And stepped into the abyss that was Zhou Beiming.

Rumors said Zhou Beiming had countless women,
That he was the most fearsome man in Yucheng.
It was said he had once broken a woman’s ribs in bed,
And squandered fortunes building dens of debauchery for his own pleasure.

But the first time they met,
In a violent downpour,
It was a beautiful man who held an umbrella over her.

He asked her,
“Little bunny, want to come home with me?”

She placed her hand into his palm,
And became his lover for two years.

Zhou Beiming never broke her ribs.
He only made her his joy, night after night.

He still kept other women around,
But later, Zhou Beiming proposed a marriage contract.

The most feared man in Yucheng
Would come home every night after work—
To cook, to clean,
To hand her his money and protect her with his life.

He asked for nothing else,
Only that he could kiss her, hug her, lift her in his arms.

Until one day, Zhou Beiming’s “white moonlight” returned from abroad.

She looked just like her.
No—Zhou Beiming had fallen for her because she resembled his old flame.

Su Nian decided to give up her place,
To step aside and let him find true happiness.
She signed the divorce papers and left.

The arrogant man’s eyes reddened.
He called her blind.

He said,
“Nian Nian, you are my white moonlight,
You are the cinnabar mole on my heart.
From beginning to end, I’ve only ever loved you.”

He said,
“If you can’t see it,
I’ll do it a thousand, ten thousand times.

If you can’t hear it,
Then I’ll speak every word of love to you—
But I won’t let you divorce me.”

Su Nian was moved.

So there really was someone in this world
Willing to love her a thousand, ten thousand times over.
Someone who would cry—just because she didn’t want him.
