So he chose to ignore it all, to pretend as if Shi Yuhuan didn't exist in this world, as if he'd never known the man.
Yet, he was always living in this nightmare, trapped within the hateful gaze of Shi Yuhuan. His soul felt locked up, unable to free itself no matter how hard he tried.
For all these years, Shi Yuhuan had remained single and he had been secretly relieved, thinking maybe Shi Yuhuan was just like him, merely unwilling to accept it.
