Song Nian was dazed, until the young Lu Zhonian reached out to her, saying, "Come with me."
That year, Song Nian had nothing, it was Lu Zhonian who rescued her from dire straits, gave her a home, love, and a safe haven.
Thus, even through so much pain and struggle, in the end, it was willingly.
Everyone has to pay a price for their desires, and Song Nian was willing to pay this price.
But later, Jiang Ci appeared.
Unlike Lu Zhonian, Jiang Ci truly treated her as an independent person.
That was when Song Nian was 17, Lu Zhonian was rarely home throughout the years, and her life revolved between school and the cold home.
Song Nian didn't know what the meaning of life was, to be precise, that wasn't something she could care about at the time.
The only warmth she could cling to was Jiang Ci's concern for her.
18-year-old Jiang Ci, wearing a faded white shirt from washing, excelled in both character and learning, and amidst the school full of nobility, he was simply unblemished.
