My dear wife, I've been writing to you non-stop for so many years. Even though I've only received two replies in the past seven years, I'm still overjoyed. You sent those two letters to me when you were in university. I still keep them and take them out to read from time to time.
My dear wife, I'm leaving. Don't be afraid that I'll follow you shamelessly in the future. If you head south, I'll head south. If you hide north, I'll chase north. In the future, you can go anywhere in the world. I'm sorry that you had to hide in a valley because of me.
My dear wife, I don't know how old you'll be when you receive this letter. If you're still young, go find a man you like and marry him. Don't worry, I'll give you my blessings from heaven. I'll also watch over him and not let him bully you. If he makes you unhappy or bullies you, go to my grave and tell me. I'll kill him even if I turn into a ghost!
If you're already old, if we have children, then let our children take good care of you. If we don't have children, then find a good partner to take care of you. Or go home. Your brothers will dote on you. Let your brothers take care of you. I'll be more at ease then.
My dear wife, actually, I'm quite afraid when I think about how I won't be able to see you after I die. I don't know if I'm a coward or not, but I really can't bear to see you.
What should I do, my dear wife? I really, really like you! Seeing that I'm already dead, can you let me go back on my word just this once? If there's a next life, can you still be my wife in the next life? Can we live together in the next life? Don't be so far apart anymore. It'll take a long time to send a letter.
No matter what, you have to take good care of yourself and do what makes you happy.
Signed off: Your loving husband, Lu Xingzhi.
After reading the letter, Jiang Yao's face was already covered in tears. Bean-sized teardrops fell onto the letter and the back of her hand. Her heart ached terribly, and all the emotions in her heart instantly collapsed.
"Lu Xingzhi, I'm sorry. I didn't know that I was so important to you. I also didn't know that you liked me so much. I always thought that you were like me, victims of an arranged marriage. This marriage, the wife and husband in the marriage, to us, are shackles that we can't wait to escape from."
She was against her parents who had disregarded her wishes and arranged her marriage. She was against this arranged marriage, not Lu Xingzhi!
That line of words, "I love your husband, Lu Xingzhi," was like a knife stabbing into her chest.
Jiang Yao, oh Jiang Yao, do you know what you've lost, what you don't cherish?
It was his love, his care and pampering!
In her heart, Lu Xingzhi had always been a man of few words and too dull. Before she married him, she had only seen him once. She had used her own way to protest and resist her parents. She wanted them to see how happy she was when they said she would be happy.
She was wrong. She was terribly wrong!
She had always wondered if she would be able to meet a man who loved her, who would cherish her, and who would pamper her. She had never thought that this man would already belong to her. It was she who had foolishly escaped, foolishly avoided, and foolishly ignored him.
This will was written by Lu Xingzhi four years ago. Jiang Yao was sobbing uncontrollably. Why did he have to use such a painful method to make her understand?
She had thought that it was just an arranged marriage without love, but it turned out that he had painstakingly obtained it. In this marriage, she was the only one without a heart.
