As a couple in a marriage of convenience, Jiang Muwan harbored no complaints, even if Gu Jiangnian gave her nothing.
So that day, with eyes reddened, Muwan stood just outside a sea of flowers and choked out, "It's okay if there is nothing."
The man, hearing this, chuckled and slowly stood up facing Jiang Muwan, "Manman, today, I'm giving you this belated marriage proposal, not out of duty or obligation, nor because we need such a ceremony between us. It's because I think, I'm willing, I'm a common man. Benevolence, responsibility, and obligation aren't enough to compel me to do anything; only true affection can make me wholeheartedly do all this."
"I know you're anxious, or maybe even fearful, because your unpleasant past has shackled your courage to pursue happiness, but I swear, in good times or bad, I'll be by your side, through thick and thin, until death do us part..."
