Prologue

The destructive power of an atomic bomb is nothing extraordinary

At the local large cultural festival, he led her through the bustling and crowded grand palace, arriving at a rarely visited alley, following the scent of wine through the lane

As memories are destroyed by reality, Cheng Gaigai understands that from this moment on, what she must strive to learn is to bury all the outdated times

Outside the door, snow swirls in the wind, yet the atmosphere inside the restaurant is warm and cozy like a fireplace, illuminating the handsome man's brows and eyes. He holds a muted green velvet box, his gaze filled with deep affection.

She should point it out to you immediately, "now"

Later, passing by the palace, he suddenly stopped in the midst of the noisy crowd, producing a piece of paper from nowhere and stuffing it into her arms. Upon closer inspection, it was an insurance policy. The insured was him, but the beneficiary was prominently written as her name

Why is it that I am confessed to, yet it feels like a worthless piece of paper? He proposes to others with an exorbitantly priced diamond ring? How unfair! It is simply a modern version of Chen Shimei! The newlyweds are laughing while the old lovers are crying! ... Before taking action, she must consider whether to notify the media or something, to escalate the situation, to set an example, and to teach all heartless men a lesson

Is it expensive

The diamond is cut from the body of the Exarch, demonstrating the level of dedication involved

After listening, the girl began to search for the sharpest metal within her line of sight. Zhou Yin asked her what she was doing, and she replied: "Looking for a knife, to kill him"

"Then your existence is like a money printing machine, and even in death, you are just a pile of Renminbi? This business seems quite profitable; I want to invest."

If someone asks Cheng Gaigai, what impressive marriage proposals have you seen?

The light of the snow reflecting off the high mountains illuminates the quiet figure of the man as he crawls, as if in the span of a day and night, they could together grow gray at the temples

The owner of the wine shop is a local elder, and by chance, he became a close friend across generations. Thus, on a holiday, he gifted a jar of fine wine. The men and women, who had long been parched, fought fiercely over this jar of good wine, and in the end, accidentally smashed the jar, filling the courtyard with a sudden and delightful fragrance.

Escape to Tibet together, taking the train, without even having money to buy plane tickets. The little she earned from her part-time translation work left her with very little after paying tuition and living expenses. Fortunately, both of them had impressive resumes and were hired to teach children Chinese and English at the same school

Cheng Gaigai believed that he had not noticed the fluctuations of his own emotions. It was only on the way back that he realized that the other person's heart was as clear as a mirror

The man, fearing to trouble the elderly, humbly took it upon himself to tidy up the scene, inadvertently getting cut by a shard. She squatted above the stone eaves, observing his slightly furrowed brow; although he had not touched a drop of alcohol, he appeared dazed under the bright daylight, and tears unexpectedly streamed down her face

"After all, the components are quite similar," she said

... ...

Are you willing to entrust the rest of your life to me

Suddenly, in a hidden corner of the restaurant, she was peering from the shadows, her head tilted in inquiry

Unexpectedly, on the coldest day of the year in Bincheng, he actually asked another girl the same words.

Do not forget, it was you who brought her before him

The person who slowly sat down, with a restless and oppressive atmosphere surrounding him, refocused his gaze on the man not far away, as if to comfort himself or perhaps to lament, softly said: "Alas, it is what it is; who could have known he was poor at that time"

On that day, the sound of chanting could be heard from the nearby scripture hall, with the faint aroma of incense wafting through the air. He, along with ordinary people, prostrated at the foot of the mountain. It is said that as long as one is sincere and earnest, one can cultivate the chance to meet again in the next life

Zhou Yin, sitting opposite, took a moment to respond, "What?" She pouted and repeated, "Is that ring on his hand expensive?" Zhou Yin stroked his chin and replied, "It's not bad... I suppose."

He, accustomed to being extravagant in the past, had no concept of money. Whenever he saw beautiful foreign objects, he would want to buy them for his collection, which led to both of them having to endure a period of subsisting on meager rations every month before their salaries arrived. During this time, even buying soap became a matter of careful calculation, and ultimately, they resorted to using locally grown white jade grass as a substitute for soap to wash their clothes

Upon finishing the speech, she actively used her forehead to nudge the Gesang flower garland in his hand.

However, there have also been good times

Without the slightest consideration for how distressed the insurance company might be, he successfully elicited a smile from her.

At that time, we were truly poor

Action speaks louder than words, Cheng Gaigai slightly curled her fingers and stood up, Zhou Yin reached across the table and timely pressed her down, his expression suddenly tinged with a hint of compassion

The expression on that person's face was as if he were offering the entire universe. He raised the small wound on his index finger and said: "What’s there to fear about shedding a little blood? Even if I die, you need not worry about how to live the rest of your life. Either I will return, or the money will return, or I will return with the money."

Are you willing to entrust the rest of your life to me
