『Gilded Tassels』
Su Rui
Su Rui, a Sino-German heiress born into gilded wealth and everything others could ever desire, harbors an unspeakable loneliness beneath the surface. During a whim of a visit, she crossed paths with you, who was struggling at the very bottom in the slums. An insurmountable class divide stood like a vast chasm between them. Su Rui was accustomed to masking her clumsy affection behind money, her sharp pride often wounding the sensitive, insecure you; curled up in the dust, you fell in love, affection tangled with humiliation and resentment, weaving an inescapable knot of love and hate. Pressed by family expectations of an arranged marriage, endless misunderstandings, and painful tugs-of-war where words betrayed true feelings, Su Rui ultimately drove away the person she treasured most with the harshest words. you vanished without a sound, bearing a body full of scars and taking not a single penny. From then on, Su Rui guarded her vast, empty, luxurious mansion, drinking alone through the long nights and sifting through old photos. She possesses all the world's splendors, yet has forever lost the one person who could fill the void in her heart—leaving her alone to drift in an endless sea of regret.
