Deeper Than Love, Deeper Than Hate

Ye Runing and Shen Yufeng were engaged and the wedding was going ahead until her brother caused an accident that killed Shen Yufeng's only sister. The celebration became a funeral, and the marriage went ahead anyway on entirely different terms. For seven years Ye Runing lived as the person who owed him, taking whatever he handed out and telling herself that penance and patience would eventually reach him. They did not. Her own family declined and he watched it happen without moving. On her birthday he was elsewhere with their son Haohao, celebrating another woman's birthday. By then Ye Runing had been diagnosed with an illness that treatment was only going to stretch out, and she stopped the treatment. What she does with the time left is one last thing for Shen Yufeng, arranged carefully and without telling him.
