An Nuan thought that she was going to have her happy ending, marrying the love of her life when the man left her on their wedding day. "Pei Zhi Yi, the moment you step into the elevator, it's over between us." An Nuan thought that she could stop her fiance from leaving, but that man still left for the other woman. The wedding hall was prepared and the guests had all arrived. With no groom beside her, An Nuan decided that she would marry anyone willing. “An Nuan, if you are willing, then how about considering me as your groom?” Unexpectedly, the young master of the Lin family, Lin Xiao Feng stepped forward to offer himself. An Nuan did not expect much from this marriage, especially when they both agreed that they were seeking to gain something through this marriage. Lin Xiao Feng needed someone as his wife in his political career. Meanwhile, she just needed to marry someone to get over Pei Zhi Yi. As someone who was disappointed by love, An Nuan no longer wanted to believe in love. She never thought that the marriage that she did not expect would turn out better than she had expected. Young Master Lin would pamper her and support her whenever she needed help. Wasn’t their marriage just for show? --- Cover Illustration commission by kirinlukis --- Shared universe with: 1.

While Lin Xiao Feng was recovering from his injury, An Nuan arrived in T Country to mend her broken heart. Once she arrived in T Country, An Nuan sat in her room and stared into space for a long time.
The view from her hotel room was beautiful. However, An Nuan was not in the mood to enjoy the scenery.
Ren Di was worried.
It has been a couple of days since they arrived in T Country. Within a short period, Ren Di could see that it was obvious that An Nuan had lost some weight.
After Pei Zhi Yi left, An Nuan tried her best not to shed a tear. She put on a brave front while pretending that everything was fine for her. Later, she cried until her eyes swelled. An Nuan released whatever unhappiness she was feeling when she cried that night.
Now, she was staring into space without caring about everything around her.
Each time her parents would call to check on her, An Nuan would show them a smile and assure them she was alright.
But then, she got back to her previous position.
Ren Di had tried her best to cheer An Nuan but everything she did was not working.
On the third day, she could no longer look at An Nuan's condition and had to drag her out of their hotel room for a walk on the beach.
An Nuan was still moping over her breakup. However, Ren Di could tell that walking barefeet on the white sand and letting the wave touch her legs had improved An Nuan's mood slightly.
At least, being under the sun made An Nuan's complexion better.
Ren Di was glad that she chose to come with An Nuan on this trip. She could not imagine An Nuan being alone without anyone taking care of her.
"How are you feeling?" Ren Di asked after the two of them had walked for a while. "Nuan Nuan, are you okay?"
"Mmm… I'm fine." An Nuan nodded. "The beach is beautiful."
The sound of the waves was quite relaxing.
"Then, you should go out more and enjoy the view," Ren Di said. "Nuan Nuan, staying in the room the whole day isn't good for you." She put a smile on her face, wanting to cheer her friend up. "I know. Why don't we go to one of the hotel's restaurants in the evening? I heard that the seafood buffet is quite good."
"I don't really have an appetite." An Nuan had a weak smile on her face.
"No." Ren Di stopped in front of An Nuan and looked straight into her eyes. "Nuan Nuan, you cannot be like this. You have been skipping meals for a few days. Today, you have to listen to me and eat. Your family asked me to look after you. I can't let you return to Y City like this. What if they blame me?"
There was a hint of guilt in An Nuan's eyes.
She knew that Ren Di had done her best to make her feel better. However, An Nuan could not bring herself to enjoy their vacation.
"In fact," Ren Di continued. "Tomorrow morning, I will take you to the hotel's spa. We are both going to enjoy a full body massage."
An Nuan was about to tell Ren Di that she was not in the mood. However, the determined look in Ren Di's eyes made her change her mind. "Alright."
Anyway, if she still feels unwell tomorrow, she could always tell Ren Di that she has changed her mind.
Ren Di heaved a breath of relief upon getting An Nuan's answer. A smile appeared on her face. "That's the spirit."
Her friend's smile made An Nuan feel guilty if she was to tell Ren Di that she changed her mind tomorrow.
This time, she was the one who invited Ren Di to accompany her to T Country.
An Nuan realized that Ren Di had been looking after her and did not have the time to enjoy this vacation.
The two of them planned to stay in T Country for a week. A few days have passed and they have not done anything other than stay in their room.
An Nuan knew that she could not stay like this forever.
Didn't she come to T Country to clear her mind and think about what she should do next?
Then, why did she spend her time staring into space in her room?
An Nuan glanced at Ren Di, who was busy nagging her to stop being sad about a certain bastard.
Pei Zhi Yi certainly did not feel guilty about leaving her on their wedding day.
Knowing Pei Zhi Yi, he would definitely go to find Sun Jiao Jiao again each time that girl looked for him.
Her heart would ache if Pei Zhi Yi continued this attitude even after they were married.
She should be glad that this relationship has ended.
An Nuan made up her mind to pick herself up and stop thinking about Pei Zhi Yi.
She should show Pei Zhi Yi that she did not need him. She could have lived a better life without him.
As for Pei Zhi Yi, he could stay with Sun Jiao.
…
Later, An Nuan followed Ren Di to have their dinner at the hotel's restaurant.
The two of them dressed up nicely before they both headed out.
An Nuan still did not have an appetite. But seeing the way Ren Di was looking at the seafood greedily, An Nuan forced herself to eat a little more.
The girls went out for a walk to digest the food they ate.
Ren Di had a satisfied look on her face, seeing that An Nuan was following her arrangement to go out a little more.
Tomorrow, she planned to take An Nuan for a walk around the city. Since they came to T Country to play, they should bring home some souvenirs.
Ren Di went to the bathroom to wash up. She did not expect that once she came out again, she would find An Nuan sitting ont he balcony while staring into space again.
