It all started ten years ago, when he first met Fu Yichen.

At the time, Yan Shuoyun was in his third year of college, a campus bully from a wealthy family, admired by everyone.

He was also pursuing the campus belle, Ji Yuyu.

Ji Yuyu was wavering between him and the smart, handsome Wu Shaowei, but Yan Shuoyun was confident that he had a better chance.

Things seemed to be going well, but then disaster struck his family.

His relatives betrayed his family, and his parents died in a car accident.

Everything in his life fell apart, and he became a mess, abandoned by everyone.

Even the campus belle mocked him, saying he was like a toad dreaming of eating swan meat.

But Fu Yichen, a junior at the time, chose this moment to confess to him.

He said, “Senior, you’re a star. You’ll rise again.”

Yan Shuoyun initially wanted to tell him that he didn’t like men, but looking at Fu Yichen’s sincere face, he unexpectedly gave in.

They made a ten-year promise: if Fu Yichen could make Yan Shuoyun fall in love with him within ten years, they would be together.

It was Fu Yichen who pulled him out of that mire, staying by his side as he relearned how to live, constantly praising him for his natural talent in business.

After they graduated, they used this talent to start their own company, with Fu Yichen becoming his personal secretary.

They unexpectedly struck a deal with a business giant, and Yan Shuoyun was able to uncover the culprit behind his family’s tragedy and finally seek justice.

Five years ago, they slept together after Yan Shuoyun got drunk.

Actually, he had planned it. Five years ago, he had already started having feelings for Fu Yichen.

It was strange, wasn’t it? He had never loved men, but Fu Yichen made him want to possess him.

But he didn’t dare to pursue it recklessly, afraid of losing someone he loved again, afraid of another betrayal.

He chose to be an ostrich, slowly crawling toward the end of their ten-year promise. He had already bought an engagement ring.

If Fu Yichen wanted a commitment, having stayed with him for so long, Yan Shuoyun was ready to work hard to fulfill his wish.

Perhaps his growing success had made him more and more noticeable, because the campus belle, Ji Yuyu, who he hadn’t seen in years, suddenly reached out to him again.

She showered him with attention, which disgusted him, but she insisted she had something important to discuss and insisted on meeting him, so he agreed.

Ji Yuyu was still as beautiful as ever, but to the more mature and experienced Yan Shuoyun, she had lost all appeal.

In fact, aside from Fu Yichen, no one could catch his eye anymore.

Ji Yuyu kept praising how well he treated her back then and hinted that she actually had feelings for him now.

Seeing that he hadn’t been involved with anyone for so many years, she assumed he must still have feelings for her.

She hoped he could provide her with some funding, as her recent business ventures had failed. If he could offer financial support, she was willing to be with him.

After hearing this, Yan Shuoyun felt nothing but insulted. The goddess from his past had turned into nothing more than a hollow, disgraceful woman.

He left some money for the coffee and got up to leave, but this action infuriated Ji Yuyu.

As he was about to cross the street, she suddenly pushed him hard.

And that led to the current result: Fu Yichen inexplicably died in his place.

Of course, he sued Ji Yuyu, bankrupting her completely.

But her life was never worth Fu Yichen’s, and no amount of compensation could ever bring Yichen back.

When Ji Yuyu first got in touch, Fu Yichen wasn’t happy about it and warned him to stay away from her.

But maybe it was a sense of revenge that drove him, wanting to see what tricks this woman could pull, which made him continue to stay in contact with her.

But this vengeful mindset ended up costing Fu Yichen his life too.

Why did he become so obsessed with revenge and fail to see Fu Yichen’s pain?
