Tender Farewel
Lu Ci learned that she had a terminal illness and less than a year to live. Just as she was feeling relieved that, as an orphan, no one would mourn her death, she found out that the orphanage she lived in was about to be demolished. What she didn’t know was that this was a scheme set up by her ex-boyfriend to force her to find him. As per Shen Xiuting's wishes, Lu Ci went to seek him out. When Lu Ci saw that the party responsible for demolishing the orphanage was Shen Xiuting, she felt both joy and surprise. Although she initially wanted to avoid him, she chose to appear before Shen Xiuting to plead with him to sell the orphanage to her for its survival. Shen Xiuting agreed, but only on the condition that Lu Ci would stay with him for three months, after which he would sell the orphanage to her. Lu Ci agreed, but Shen Xiuting did not keep his promise and went ahead with the demolition. When Shen Xiuting's mother learned that Lu Ci had reappeared in her son’s life, she pressured Lu Ci once again to leave him. With the orphanage demolished, her life nearing its end, and her lover about to marry someone else, Lu Ci felt overwhelmed by despair and chose to end her life. Fortunately, Shen Xiuting saved her. After going through a series of misunderstandings and pain, they finally opened up to each other. Shen Xiuting no longer concealed his love, and Lu Ci confessed to him about her terminal illness. Shen Xiuting accompanied Lu Ci to the hospital for treatment, but unfortunately, her condition continued to deteriorate. In the final moments of Lu Ci's life, Shen Xiuting held a wedding for her in the hospital. After the wedding, Lu Ci’s life faded away. Lu Ci's passing dealt a crushing blow to Shen Xiuting. After taking care of her affairs, he stood before her grave, wanting to follow her into the afterlife. However, he received seven letters that Lu Ci had left behind, arranged by Li Sisi. He lived like a walking corpse for seven years, and ultimately gave his life to save a child, with roses stained in blood as he rushed toward Lu Ci.
