Liu Shuangshuang is a lucky yet unfortunate girl. She has been beautiful since she was a child. After going to school, she was noticed by her teacher and joined the art troupe. She has always had her own goals.
But her family situation was very bad. Her family favored boys over girls and did not approve of her singing and dancing. If Liu Shuangshuang did not have a salary, they would have let her get married long ago.
Liu Shuangshuang's two elder sisters were married off at high prices. This time, her younger brother is getting married, and her parents can only find her, their promising daughter.
They have already picked out a candidate, a truck driver who has lost his wife. He earns 50 yuan a month and is willing to pay a 200 yuan betrothal gift.
Liu Shuangshuang felt helpless, wronged, and humiliated about her parents' arrival. She didn't want others to know about her family's plight, especially in front of Li Hongru, as she would feel inferior.
Li Hongru knew about her family situation, but did not despise her. He even found her parents and said that he was willing to pay 200 yuan to marry Liu Shuangshuang.
When Liu's father and mother saw that the girl was in such good demand, they raised the price directly, and the highest bidder got her.
At this time, how could Li Hongru's financial resources compare to Zhu Lei's? Even though Liu Shuangshuang was unwilling, her parents still accepted Zhu Lei's sky-high price of 500 yuan.
Zhu Lei was also afraid of being entangled by them, so he directly asked them to sign an agreement to sever ties.
Li Hongru looked at the wealthy Zhu Lei and the person crying, feeling both aggrieved and helpless.
He found Zhu Lei and said he was willing to write him an IOU, saying that the money was borrowed from him and he would try his best to pay it back.
Zhu Lei knew that Liu Shuangshuang had no intention of him, so he chose to back down and agreed to the IOU.
In the following days, Li Hongru lived frugally, ate coarse food, and saved all his money to pay off his debts.
At first, Liu Shuangshuang was very touched. She had a partner who treated her so well, and the envious eyes of others around her made her even happier.
However, her increasingly poor and frugal life made her increasingly dissatisfied. She left her original family just to live a good life.
She had finally managed to get out of this situation through her own efforts, but now she had to continue to be frugal in order to pay off her debts.
She couldn't stand it more when she saw the girls in the art troupe, one buying clothes and the other buying hairpins.
Why does she have to live like this? The 500 yuan was an IOU written by Li Hongru himself. What does it have to do with her?
Liu Shuangshuang quickly returned to her previous casual shopping habit. When she looked at the newly bought skirt on her body, she couldn't hide the joy in her eyes.
Li Hongru didn't say anything. She felt that it was girls' nature to love beauty and he shouldn't blame her. As long as he worked a little harder, he could pay off his debt.
People's desire to compare is terrible. At the beginning, Liu Shuangshuang only bought some clothes and shoes, and later followed others to buy cosmetics and jewelry.
Liu Shuangshuang's increasingly strong desire to shop made her increasingly dissatisfied with Li Hongru. She felt that she should not live this kind of life.
So, when Zhu Lei asked her out again, Liu Shuangshuang followed Zhu Lei out. They watched a movie and ate Western food together, which made Liu Shuangshuang's heart even swell.
Gradually, she forgot the man who paid off her debts and began to walk with Zhu Lei openly. She adapted to this kind of life where she could buy things without blinking an eye.
After the rumors about Liu Shuangshuang and Zhu Lei spread, Li Hongru didn't believe it at first. In his eyes, Liu Shuangshuang was a kind and motivated girl who would not sell herself for money.
Later, on a moonlit night, Liu Shuangshuang came to confront him.
"Hongru, let's break up. Zhu Lei and I are together."
"Why?" Li Hongru was not mentally prepared at all. He was stunned when he heard the news suddenly.
"I want to live the life of a rich person. What are we working hard for? Isn't it to live a good life one day? Now I have this opportunity, I don't want to miss it."
"What about our feelings? What does it count for?" Li Hongru asked with grief and anger.
"Hongru, why are you so stupid? What's the point of talking about love among poor people? Just like us two, a poor couple has many sorrows. I don't want to live a life that I can see the end of at a glance."
The two broke up just like that. Everyone had different pursuits, so in the end they had to go their separate ways.
Li Hongru sat blankly on the steps, the cold moonlight shining down on him, also mocking his incompetence and failure.
He sat outside all night. The pain of a broken heart was like a cold wind, biting and piercing, making people tremble all over. The sweetness of the past was only left with cold memories, which made people feel heartbroken.
The moment the sun rose, he felt alive again. He hid his sadness and pain, went to the head of the group's office, and chose to resign.
The troupe leader was very angry about his choice. Li Hongru was very talented, hardworking, and had great potential. He was the key training target of the art troupe.
Unexpectedly, he would resign because of a broken heart. The team leader was angry at his lack of fighting spirit, but he couldn't help but persuade him:
"Hongru, let's look forward to the relationship. You have good conditions. As long as you work hard, you will definitely become a pillar of the future."
How could Li Hongru listen to anything at this moment? He just wanted to leave this sad place:
"Captain, I've made up my mind. I'm not in the mood to sing right now. I just want to leave this place."
The troupe leader's repeated dissuasion failed to stop Li Hongru from leaving. He returned to his hometown alone with scars all over his body, away from Liu Shuangshuang and everything in the art troupe.
Liu Shuangshuang married Zhu Lei soon after that, and the two of them were in perfect harmony and lived a happy life.
After Liu Shuangshuang gave birth to her daughter, she stopped going to work and took care of her child at home every day. She lived the life she wanted.
When the storm came, Zhu Lei was afraid of implicating her, so he divorced Liu Shuangshuang directly and let Liu Shuangshuang take the child and money away.
In fact, with money, Liu Shuangshuang could live a good life with her child alone, but she had been living a life of luxury for so many years that she didn't want to work hard anymore. She contacted someone she knew and prepared to smuggle herself to the port city with him.
She had heard that Hong Kong City was full of opportunities, and since she had money, she would be able to live a good life.
But the child is still young and it is not convenient for her to take her with her. Besides, smuggling is a very dangerous thing. How can she take the child with her?
Liu Shuangshuang thought about it and decided that only Li Hongru was reliable, so she decided to let the child live with Li Hongru. As for Li Hongru's disapproval, she had never thought about it.
Li Hongru is very simple and always obeys her. How could he not agree?
Liu Shuangshuang didn't expect that Li Hongru not only didn't agree, but also refused to have any contact with her. How could that be possible? If he didn't agree, what would happen to the child?
Liu Shuangshuang decided to find him again the next day and make him agree no matter what method she used.
