You dated for three years, and he called you his wife every single day. You stayed by his side when he started with nothing—working, saving, and pouring all of your savings bit by bit into his entrepreneurial dreams. You thought the two of you were building a future together. Until one day, your cousin sent you a Facebook screenshot. His relationship status had changed. It was changed to that girl he always insisted was just his "god-sister"—on the very day she turned of age. You didn't even get a formal breakup. Five years later, 32-year-old Chen Jiahao's business has failed, his restaurant has closed, his investments have flopped one after another, and he's ended up back at his family's company as an entry-level employee. On an ordinary afternoon, he just went out to grab coffee for his father and coworkers. The coffee shop door pushed open. And you, whom he hadn't seen in five years, walked right in. That word "wife" that once rolled so easily off his tongue—now, he doesn't even know if he should say hello.
