Lin Xinyue: "6 years… loving someone silently… and still ending up as nothing in his life…"
(Lin Xinyue stands near the window… her fingers lightly holding the curtain… the city lights reflect in her eyes… but inside, everything feels empty… just like him…)
(Her mind slowly drifts back to the past…)
(Flashback – Classroom)
(The door opens… and he walks in… calm… confident… effortlessly grabbing everyone's attention…)
(This is Gu Chen… someone who, at that time, was just a stranger to her…)
(Lin Xinyue's gaze lingers on him… a little longer than it should…)
Lin Xinyue (soft whisper): "It's just a crush…"
(She quickly looks away… pretending nothing happened…)
(Time passes…)
(Lin Xinyue sits behind him… pretending to write… but her eyes keep drifting toward him again and again…)
(Gu Chen asks someone for notes… Lin Xinyue hesitates… then quietly places hers on his desk…)
Gu Chen: "You made these?"
(Lin Xinyue nods slightly…)
Lin Xinyue: "…yes."
Gu Chen: "Thanks."
(Just one word… but a small smile appears on Lin Xinyue's lips…)
(That one moment becomes something much bigger for her…)
(Montage – Passing Years)
(She keeps helping him… without expecting anything…)
(She watches him laugh with others… but never with her…)
(She waits… every single day… without getting tired…)
Lin Xinyue (voice-over): "Maybe… one day he'll notice me…"
(6 years later…)
(Wedding day)
(Lin Xinyue stands as a bride… everything looks perfect…)
(But her focus is only on one thing…)
(Gu Chen hasn't looked at her… not even once…)
(After wedding – Gu Chen's house)
(The door closes… and an uncomfortable silence fills the space…)
(Lin Xinyue slowly turns toward him… waiting for him to say something…)
Gu Chen: "This marriage is just a contract."
(Lin Xinyue's fingers tighten around her dress…)
Gu Chen: "You are my wife… but only in name."
(Her heart slowly starts breaking…)
Gu Chen: "After one year, we'll get divorced. Until then, stay out of my personal life."
(Lin Xinyue stays silent…)
(She wants to say something… but she can't…)
Lin Xinyue: "…okay."
(Her voice comes out soft… almost fragile…)
(And just like that… her marriage begins…)
(Days later…)
(Lin Xinyue wakes up early and prepares breakfast…)
(She sets everything neatly on the table…)
(Gu Chen walks past her… without even looking…)
(The door closes.)
(Lin Xinyue stands there… still holding the plate…)
(Another day…)
(Lin Xinyue waits near the door… checking the clock again and again…)
(The door opens…)
(Gu Chen walks in… smiling while talking on the phone…)
(But that smile isn't for her…)
(Lin Xinyue steps forward slightly…)
Lin Xinyue: "You're back…"
(Gu Chen doesn't reply…)
(He walks past her… as if she doesn't exist…)
(Room – Night)
(Lin Xinyue sits on the bed… holding her old diary…)
(She slowly flips through the pages…)
Lin Xinyue (reading softly):
"Today he smiled…"
"Today he talked to me…"
(Her voice trembles…)
Lin Xinyue: "…was I really this happy… over such small things?"
(A tear falls down…)
(Next day – Living room)
(The door opens…)
(She walks in…)
(Su Meilin.)
(Confident… beautiful… perfect…)
(She doesn't hesitate… she walks in like she belongs there…)
(She looks at Lin Xinyue with a faint smile…)
Su Meilin: "So… you're Mrs. Gu?"
(She looks her up and down…)
Su Meilin: "I expected… something better."
(Lin Xinyue lowers her gaze…)
Lin Xinyue: "…come in."
(Her voice is calm… but her hands tremble slightly…)
(Kitchen scene)
(Lin Xinyue is busy working… trying to distract herself…)
(Su Meilin walks closer to her…)
(Silence…)
(Suddenly…)
(The glass slips from Lin Xinyue's hand and shatters…)
Su Meilin: "Gu Chen! She hurt me!"
(Lin Xinyue looks at her in shock…)
Lin Xinyue: "I didn't—"
(Footsteps…)
(Gu Chen enters…)
(He looks at Lin Xinyue… then at Su Meilin…)
(His expression hardens…)
Gu Chen: "How dare you?"
(Lin Xinyue's breath stops for a moment…)
Lin Xinyue: "I didn't do anything—"
Gu Chen: "Enough. Don't make excuses."
(Lin Xinyue falls silent…)
(Her words stay trapped inside…)
(She looks into his eyes one last time…)
(Hoping… just hoping…)
(That he might understand…)
(But he doesn't…)
(Night – Room)
(Lin Xinyue sits on the floor… the diary open in front of her…)
(The silence feels unbearably loud…)
Lin Xinyue (soft whisper): "I loved you for 6 years…"
(Her voice breaks…)
Lin Xinyue: "…and you never even saw me…"
(Tears keep falling…)
(She doesn't stop them…)
(Because this time… she isn't crying for him…)
(She is crying for herself…)
Lin Xinyue (voice-over):
"Maybe… I was never part of his story…"
"Maybe… I was just a phase… he never even noticed…"
(A long pause…)
"…maybe… I was never his wife…" 💔
