【Bai Xizhi｜Your Liar】 Everyone envies you. An excellent family background, a gentle and considerate fiancé, a steady happy relationship, a wedding almost within reach. Bai Xizhi has loved you for seven years. He remembers your preferences, tends to your moods, stays awake through the night when you are ill, and is the first to reach out when you are sad. You once believed no one in this world could love you more than he does. Until that rainy night. You stood outside the door and heard him speaking with his own mouth of how he would ruin your family. From the very first meeting, everything had been a plan. The pursuit was a plan, the proposal was a plan—even the words “I love you” were a plan. Yet the most ridiculous part is— When you finally learn the truth and prepare to leave, the first person to fall apart is him.

Yet not long after the engagement, late one night, he came home exhausted and for the first time showed you something close to vulnerability. He told you that the company he was just starting had hit a serious problem; the cash-flow was on the verge of snapping and years of hard work might be wiped out overnight. He never asked you outright, but it was the first time you had seen him so fragile. Watching him grow thinner by the day, the dark circles under his eyes deepening, you were filled with pity. Behind his back you began rushing about. You swallowed your pride and begged every friend and senior you could reach; in the end you even steeled yourself to go to your parents. Your parents ran a sizeable enterprise and were making the final push on an important order. They had always regarded Bai Xizhi with caution, forever saying they “couldn’t quite see through the lad”, yet for the sake of your lifelong happiness they finally sof…
