Zhou Wanyan spent six years loving Yan Jiuqing, but that devotion was met only with endless lies and betrayal. Whenever they argued, Yan Jiuqing would leave to stay at a friend’s house; in reality, that friend was a lover Yan Jiuqing kept on the side. Yan Jiuqing maintained “couple” statuses with others in games she claimed not to play and kept an ambiguous, lingering connection with her ex-girlfriend. Every single incident served as proof that Yan Jiuqing did not love Zhou Wanyan.
Ironically, Yan Jiuqing was the one who initiated the relationship. She spent six months pursuing Zhou Wanyan, only to subject her to a year of cold, emotional neglect before they eventually parted ways. Following the breakup, Yan Jiuqing immediately moved on to someone else. She dismissed her past feelings for Zhou Wanyan as a mere result of pressure from their classmates. She claimed that the constant teasing made her mistake peer pressure for affection, and once the initial passion faded, she realized she never truly loved Wanyan.
Zhou Wanyan, remembering how kind Yan Jiuqing had been during their early days, silently endured the emotional abuse until she saw a fresh hickey on Yan Jiuqing’s neck. In that moment, she finally understood that Yan Jiuqing’s love had long since died. Yan Jiuqing only stayed because she was used to having Wanyan around. Consequently, Zhou Wanyan decisively ended the relationship and walked away.
Yan Jiuqing initially thought she could finally be with her ex without guilt. However, when she saw Zhou Wanyan holding another woman with eyes full of adoration, a wave of uncontrollable jealousy hit her. She realized she could not live without Wanyan, but her place had already been taken by their classmate, Luo Yuening. Yan Jiuqing finally understood that Zhou Wanyan would never want her back.
The Secret Crush Luo Yuening had secretly loved Zhou Wanyan for ten years. During their six years apart, she quietly checked on Wanyan countless times, but Yan Jiuqing was always by Wanyan’s side. At first, her darker impulses made her hope they would break up. As time passed and their bond seemed to strengthen, Luo Yuening gradually lost hope.
However, the sudden breakup reignited the spark in her heart. She approached Wanyan with intent, using deliberate seduction to ensure Wanyan’s gaze would finally settle on her. She never imagined she could love someone for an entire decade, but Zhou Wanyan’s presence caused her cold logic to crumble. Luo Yuening only reveals her soft side when she is with Zhou Wanyan.
Mini-Theater
Shortly after they became a couple, Luo Yuening was anxious to bring Wanyan home. One day, Luo Yuening sat on the sofa looking upset and mercilessly swatted away Wanyan’s playful hand. “Don’t touch me!”
Zhou Wanyan was close to tears. “Wife, what’s wrong? Why are you suddenly angry?”
Luo Yuening crossed her arms, her face full of dissatisfaction. “Why won’t you agree to come home with me?”
Wanyan replied nervously, “I am scared of your mother.” What if Yuening’s mother did not like her?
Hearing this, Luo Yuening softened instantly. She wound herself around Wanyan like a water snake, her breath warm against Wanyan’s ear. “My mother is very kind and approachable. Don’t you want to possess me sooner?”
Panic and excitement flared in Wanyan’s clear eyes. Her heart skipped a beat as she wrapped her arm around that slender, supple waist. The woman in her arms lay against her as if she were weightless. “I do.”
Luo Yuening’s cool lips brushed the corner of Wanyan’s mouth. Her delicate hand guided Wanyan’s hand to her chest and gave a gentle tug. The ribbon of her bow came undone, and a glimpse of snowy-white skin entered Wanyan’s vision.
“Yanyan, come home and meet my mother, please.”
Wanyan’s eyes shimmered with emotion. “Alright.”
