Her mother was mentally ill, her son had autism, and her husband's ex-girlfriend returned... She thought life couldn't get any worse. Unexpectedly, the appearance of Xiao Chengjing dragged her life back into the abyss. He imprisoned her, humiliated her, and wouldn't let her escape. But he would also be there in her dark times, helping her, protecting her, avenging those who had brutally hurt her. In the midst of plots and schemes, where should she turn? Knowing she couldn't love, she lost her heart. If only they had never met, how wonderful that would be...
Ye Youran left the hospital, her mood as heavy as a clouded sky.
The doctor's words still echoed in her ears:
"Your husband's physiological barriers belong to a psychological ailment, neither traditional nor western medicine will have any effect on him..."
Her husband hadn't touched her in the two years they had been married.
But Lin Feng loved her, helping her care for her mentally ill mother without seeking anything in return.
Out of gratitude, she accepted this platonic marriage.
But her mother-in-law was always urging them to have children, so she could only consult the hospital to see if Lin Feng's hidden ailment could be cured.
She had to do this behind Lin Feng's back, worried that it might hurt his male pride.
For the entire day, she ran around dozens of hospitals, and every doctor just shook their head.
She was nearly in despair.
Perhaps... they might have to consider in vitro fertilization?
Ye Youran stood at the front door of her house, rehearsing in her mind how she would break the news to Lin Feng.
Just then, she heard intermittent voices coming from inside the house.
Her heart tightened, and trembling, she fumbled for the house key and opened the door.
"Feng, when are you getting a divorce?"
The woman's voice was coming from the master bedroom.
Ye Youran, feeling as if her feet weighed a thousand pounds, drudged her way forward.
The door was not closed, the conversation between the man and woman filtered out clearly.
"Darling... Give me some time to think..."
The familiar voice of the man echoed, causing Ye Youran's blood to run cold, rushing to her head.
She suddenly kicked the door open, only to see a man and a woman intimately embraced.
"Lin Feng, you... you..."
Eyeballs wide open with disbelief, Ye Youran stuttered, unable to form a coherent sentence.
Her husband—who hadn't touched her for two years?
Why... why was he rolling in bed with another woman?
Her gaze shifted to the unfamiliar woman. The woman's face was a grave blow to Ye Youran, like a heavy hammer hitting the back of her head.
Why... why was it her?
That woman... she had previously seen her in Lin Feng's computer.
His first love, Yu Yunxi...
So it turns out, Lin Feng was only impotent towards her.
She had run to so many hospitals, consulted with so many doctors, and it was all a joke!
Tears poured down Ye Youran's face, her reddened eyes fixated on Lin Feng.
“Feng, this is your wife?”
Yu Yunxi casually examined Ye Youran with a disdainful gaze, “From head to toe, the only similarity she has with me is her mouth…Feng, you didn't do a great job picking a stand-in...”
“Stand…..stand-in?”
Ye Youran felt her heart shatter, almost on the brink of collapse.
Lin Feng had pursued her for three years, sheltering her, adoring her, treating her as his precious.
It was Lin Feng who had taught her what warmth is, what love is, what home is…
But now, the love and home she had, were being invaded by another woman!
How ironic…
"Youran…” Lin Feng was about to speak.
However, Ye Youran suddenly covered her ears: “I don't want to hear anything you have to say!”
Like a madwoman, she ran out of the door.
Due to her childhood experiences, she did not have the courage to accept this reality, nor the courage to hear Lin Feng utter the words 'divorce'.
She just wanted to run away, run far away… hide in a corner where no one knows, lick her wounds in solitude.
Somehow, she found herself standing in front of a bar.
They say that getting drunk can help alleviate the worries, perhaps if she got drunk, she wouldn't have to face these pains.
Ye Youran lifted her foot, and walked into the bar...
