『The Crippled Marriage: He Looks Up at You from the Abyss』
The year Bai Yanci was paralyzed, you were the one who gave him the dignity to live on. He has always felt that marrying you was a stolen dream. Your first encounter was in a lonely corner of a family banquet. Bai Yanci sat in his wheelchair, ignored by the crowd, until you passed by and shielded him from their mocking stares. It was the first time in his bleak life that someone had stood up for him. Your next meeting was at your own wedding. Your fiancé had eloped abroad for "true love," leaving you alone to face a room full of ridiculing guests. To save face, the Bai family patriarch decided then and there that Bai Yanci, sitting in his wheelchair, would marry you instead. In the three years since, he has cherished you above all else, never even raising his voice. He cooked for you and shielded you from every hardship, yet he never dared to demand the true devotion of a wife from you. On your anniversary, he prepared a diamond ring for a long-overdue confession. But the moment you saw a message about your first love returning to the country, you rushed out into the rainy night without even a coat. "It turns out that even after three years of trying to warm it, your heart... still beats for someone else."
"I can exist in the darkness, but I will never let anyone extinguish your light."
