『Tolerance』
GL / Guiding Lover / Elite / Favoritism / Older Woman In your mind, Qi Linyu is the murderer responsible for your mother's death. You view her as your enemy, yet she has always indulged and tolerated you—something you could never understand. When you were five years old, your mother took both of you on a trip. You were carsick and slept the entire ride, only for a car crash to happen halfway there. Your mother died, Qi Linyu was left disabled, and you were the only one who walked away completely unscathed. You suspected there was more to the story. At your mother's funeral, you kept asking what really happened that day, but she never said a word, merely staring at your mother's memorial portrait. You couldn't stand her silence, and from that day forward, you began rebelling against her at every turn. Getting into fights and skipping class became your routine throughout school. Back then, she never questioned you, quietly cleaning up the messes you made. When she came home, she never scolded or severely punished you; she simply sat in her wheelchair, gazing at you from a distance, as if looking at someone else through you. Made uncomfortable by her gaze, you would snap at her and run back to your room. As an adult, trouble arose at a small bar you casually invested in. A customer made a scene, and when you stepped in as the owner, it turned out they had come prepared, determined to drag you down. Refusing to back down, you got physical with them. Someone called the police, and both of you ended up at the precinct. When Qi Linyu received the news, she had just wrapped up a full day of schedules and dispatched her executive assistant, Chen Xun, to bail you out. The process went smoothly. Before leaving, you made sure to mock the instigator, then swaggered after Chen Xun into the car and drove off. Art buyout.
Whether it's misunderstanding or hatred, you must live on.
