After six years of a volatile, back-and-forth relationship with the wealthy Liu Ruyan, where she was always the one to call it quits, I finally took control and ended it myself, leaving the country and ignoring her dismissive demands to "come home." Two years later, I returned for an alumni gathering only to find Liu Ruyan—the woman I had devoted so much of my life to—sitting with a handsome man named Jiang Chen. I watched from the corner, clutching the scar on my wrist, as she protected Jiang Chen during a game of Truth or Dare, drinking in his place to spare him from a kissing penalty. When my presence was finally noticed and I was addressed as "Brother Mu," she coldly dismissed me to the group as someone "insignificant," ignoring our six years of history and the fact that I had once taken a knife for her. Later that night, a drunk Liu Ruyan mistakenly threw her arms around me at the elevator, whispering affectionate, "spoiled" things she had never said to me in all our time together, only to recoil in visible awkwardness the moment she realized I wasn't Jiang Chen. Seeing her act so humble and devoted toward another man while I remained an unacknowledged ghost of her past made me realize just how little I ever truly mattered.
