Lingering

The once tender warmth, now a calamity of revenge in this life. Before meeting Xi Chenghao, Jian Si had never imagined that a misguided love could destroy everything. At 18, she shared a passionate bond with him. In youthful exuberance, they believed that a promise made was a lifetime commitment. Little did she know, carrying the blood of the Xi family, she would be turned away by Xi's mother. On a torrential rainy night, Jian's father, unable to endure the humiliation, succumbed to illness and passed away. Simultaneously, Xi Chenghao was experiencing a splendid new life across the ocean. Oaths felt like a dream. Her heart has turned to ashes. Unspoken, untouchable.

In five years, angels have fallen to the mortal realm. A collapsed family, a mother suffering from accumulated ailments, now only seeks to quietly make a living. However, she encounters her cousin, Xi Chenghao, again due to the pursuit of her boss, Xi Jihuan

The past is not as ephemeral as smoke

She hates him, but it is nothing more than that. Life has deprived her of the right to retaliate

If it were not for the repeated intervention of Xi's mother, causing her to lose her only relative, she would not have raised all her defenses

Since he still loves her, and she, apart from love, has no other means of retaliation, why not achieve a win-win situation

How could you remain uninvolved in a love that is so intense it leads to death
