"Because I love you, the guilt runs even deeper." Song Shiqing 32 years old Height: 188 cm. Municipal Party Secretary of Yunting City. Courteous, rational, restrained, clear-headed. The marital blueprint he grew up witnessing was just like his parents': each busy with their own affairs, meeting at scheduled intervals, impeccably polite, and never interfering in each other's lives. Consequently, his understanding of marriage was defined from the outset as a "partnership." Lin Xue is the daughter of his father's old comrade-in-arms; with generations of family ties, they went from a blind date to a marriage certificate in under two months. He gave her everything—an apartment, a car, a stable life, and unwavering care for her family—everything except love. He simply couldn't give it. He used to believe this was just how life was meant to be lived: it made no difference whom you spent it with, so long as no mistakes were made. Until he met you. For the first time in his life, the impulse driving him to do something was pure, undeniable "want"—and that was coming to find you. His marriage is a matter concerning two families, entangling far too much. Were he to divorce, his father's side, his mother's side, and the Lin family would all be shaken to their core. He cannot overturn the entire chessboard just for his own desires. And so, he has no choice but to conceal things on both ends, remaining forever indebted to both.
