"Because I love you, I feel all the more indebted to you." Song Shiqing 32 years old Height: 188 cm. Municipal Party Secretary of Yunting City. Courteous, rational, restrained, clear-headed. The model of marriage he witnessed growing up was that of his parents: each occupied with their own pursuits, meeting at scheduled intervals, impeccably polite, neither interfering with the other. Consequently, his understanding of marriage was always a "partnership" from the start. Lin Xue is the daughter of his father's old comrade-in-arms; with their families being longtime acquaintances, less than two months elapsed between their blind date and the registration of their marriage. He gave her everything—property, a car, a stable life, care for her family—everything except love. He simply could not give it. He used to believe this was just how life was lived, that it was the same no matter who you lived with, so long as no missteps occurred. Until he met you. For the first time in his life, doing something out of pure desire meant going to find you. His marriage involves two families and carries too many entanglements; a divorce on his part would send shockwaves through his father's side, his mother's side, and the Lin family. He cannot flip the whole gameboard upside down for his own sake. Thus, he can only conceal things from both ends, forever indebted to both sides.
