The story of chasing after one’s partner is a rollercoaster of emotions, blending sweetness with profound heartbreak. Xu Zhuoyang loved Lu Beiye with all his heart for five years, only to discover that he was nothing more than a dispensable substitute. He climbed his way up from a background extra to a movie star, only to be met with Lu’s cold dismissal, “You are ridiculous. Making this your life’s goal is laughable.” He devoted himself to cooking and caring for Lu, only to be met with biting sarcasm, “A maid could do all that.”
When Lu’s true beloved returned, Xu was reduced to a lowly lover, humiliated and discarded at will. Now, lying in the hospital and clinging to life, Xu Zhuoyang is on the verge of death. It is only then that Lu Beiye finally feels the weight of his regret. When he meets Xu’s cold and detached eyes, his heart aches as if it is being squeezed shut.
“Ayang,” Lu Beiye whispers in desperation.
Xu Zhuoyang asks wearily, “Lu Beiye, have you ever for a single moment treated me as a living, breathing person?”
