City A, the lights begin to flicker.

After three months of shooting, Jian Yao's plane finally landed after a four-hour flight.

After collecting my luggage and arriving at the exit, I thought the company would send a car to pick me up. Unexpectedly, as soon as I stepped out, I saw Lao Li, the driver from the Fu family, standing respectfully beside a black Rolls-Royce.

Pulling her suitcase, she walked over. Lao Li took the suitcase and opened the car door for her.

A man of noble bearing sat in the car. He was dressed in a well-tailored black suit. His face, cut with icy precision, showed no emotion, not even a glance in my direction.

This man was Fu Shengnian, the husband of two years. It was somewhat unexpected for him to come to the airport to pick her up, but then again, today was the day their agreement expired. It wasn't strange that he would show up.

Get in the car and maintain a certain distance from the man.

Fu Shengnian once said he disliked being too close, but after two years, this was still the first time they had been so close.

I could smell a faint scent of sandalwood on him, yet it felt strangely unfamiliar.

Lao Li put his luggage into the trunk, got back into the car, and drove away from the airport.

The atmosphere in the car was heavy and oppressive, the man beside her had a stoic expression, never uttering a word, the suffocating silence made Jian Yao very anxious, her heart pounding rapidly, she even felt her breath becoming labored.

Twenty minutes later, the Rolls-Royce stopped in front of the Fu family mansion. The butler hurried over and opened the back door. Fu Sheng, an elderly man, stepped out with a cane and uttered a frigid "Come to my study" before turning his back and entering the house without looking back.

Jian Yao's nerves had been on edge the entire way, and she still hadn't relaxed. She had anticipated what was to come, so when she walked into the study and the man pulled out a divorce agreement from the drawer and threw it in front of her, she remained remarkably calm.

"Let's get a divorce."

After three months, the first thing he said when they met was cold, like a knife stabbing straight into her heart.

I've liked him for ten years. Even if I got the position of Mrs. Fu, what does it matter? His heart doesn't belong to me.

"Shi Shi must be twenty years old this year, right? Old enough to get married," he said, trying to sound calm.

Fu Shengnian's brows furrowed slightly, his handsome eyes showing a hint of impatience. He didn't hesitate for a moment and handed over the pen in his hand.

She lifted the corner of her mouth, pulling out a rather unnatural smile. Because she had removed her makeup, she looked somewhat pale and her face seemed a bit wan.

Fu Shengnian ignored his words and said indifferently, "Sign here."

Nodding, she took the pen he offered and without looking at the contents of the agreement, went straight to the last page and signed her name.

Putting down the pen, she looked up at Fu Shengnian. The man's beautiful eyes were still like they used to be, filled with stars and the vast ocean, but his gaze was so cold it sent chills down her spine.

"It's a bit late today, I'll move out tomorrow, okay?" He smiled, thinking that Fu Shengnian would be more considerate of their past relationship. Unexpectedly, he said very firmly, "Lao Li will take you to the hotel."

Are you leaving already?

Aren't you staying even one night?

His smile froze on his face. He faced Fu Shengnian for a moment, then turned cold and walked away.

I went back to my room and grabbed the luggage I hadn't had time to pack yet. Carrying it downstairs, several servants rushed over to help me. I waved them off and said, "No, I can manage."

The servants looked at each other, sighing helplessly. They stood in a line and watched him leave.

Having lived here for two years, Jian Yao still had some affection for this place. Everyone here, except Fu Shengnian, treated her very well.

It's a little heartbreaking, but after marrying Fu Shengnian, she was subjected to years of emotional abuse. She had already been through so much hardship.

That's it.

It's time to end.

Although my heart was about to tear apart, I held back every tear.

After casually getting into the car, Lao Li drove to a five-star hotel in the city center and checked in. He then switched on his phone which had been off for over four hours.

I received a text message reminder from my father, Jian Ming Shu, that he called.

He let out a long sigh and pulled out Jian Ming Shu's phone number. The other party picked up soon after.

"Yao Yao, Shi Shi's illness has relapsed." Jian Ming Shu's voice was hoarse, and there was a deep sense of powerlessness in it.

Astonishment, "When?"

"A week ago."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"I won't disturb you if you're filming."

Jian Yao fell silent for a moment, then recalled that it was two years ago when she donated bone marrow to save Jian Shi. She suddenly understood Jian Ming's intention for calling: "What do you need me to do?"

“That’s not necessary. Shengnian has already arranged for the best doctors, and the hospital has also found a bone marrow match with Shi Shi in the bone marrow bank. You don't need to do anything, just come over and see her.”

Jian Yao remained silent. Jian Ming Shu succinctly gave the ward number for Jian Shi, urging them to go quickly, saying that Jian Shi had been thinking of them.

Her heart ached sharply, but she merely uttered a soft 'hmm' and cut the call before Jian Ming Shu could speak.

This night was unbearable, tossing and turning all night. At 2 am, I had a bottle of red wine, drank almost half of it before falling into a drunken sleep.

The next day, as noon approached, I was woken up by a call from my manager. My manager recommended that I participate in a currently very popular rural life reality show. Everyone who has been on this show has become famous.

"Help me push it, I'm so tired and want to take a break."

The agent almost blew up, “Vacations are something you decide to take whenever you want? For three years since your debut, you haven't accepted any leading roles, been on variety shows, done publicity stunts, or even collaborated with male artists as a romantic pairing. The company has met all your requests, and you still want more? In three years, you haven't shown any ambition at all. If this continues, you'll be forgotten sooner or later.”

Let it be.

"Jian Yao, you…"

Jian Yao felt annoyed and hung up the phone decisively. She went to the bathroom to take a shower, ignoring the persistent calls from her manager, whose phone rang repeatedly.

After getting ready, she called her longtime friend Gu Xiang to see if she could stay at her place for a few days. Gu Xiang was overjoyed and immediately drove over to pick her up.

Upon arrival, they briefly tidied their luggage and had a meal with Gu Xiang before heading to the Central Hospital.

Jian Shi was in a single ward with dedicated nursing care. Through the glass on the door, she saw the nurse feeding her, but after a few bites, Jian Shi vomited everything up. She felt an indescribable sadness in her heart.

Jian Shi is Fu Shengnian's half-sister, five years younger than him. She just turned twenty this year. When they were young, their relationship was very good. Jian Shi relied on Fu Shengnian very much and always followed him around like a little duckling. Until both of them entered high school, the subtle changes in their relationship began to emerge over the years.

Two years ago, when Jian Shi was first diagnosed with cancer, Fu Shengnian almost went crazy. At that time, he realized that Fu Shengnian's character wasn't what he thought it was.
