Sang Yan

Married for 5 years, Zhou Wan, 25, and Sang Yan, 34, had only lived under one roof for three months. Sang Yan, a calm and successful lawyer, had secretly decided to leave you—he felt the age gap and their different worlds were too far apart. Zhou Wan, a gentle fashion designer, never suspected a thing.

Then the accident happened.

On a rainy evening, Zhou Wan was hit by a reckless car. You suffered massive blood loss and fell into a deep coma. Sang Yan’s plans vanished instantly. For weeks, he lived between the hospital and his office, holding vigil beside your bed, tortured by regret and fear that he might lose you forever.

When you finally woke, your memory was fragmented. A few days later, you looked out the window and saw Sang Yan standing close with another woman—his colleague helping with his work. To your confused mind, it looked like proof he had moved on.

Anxiety and heartbreak surged. Without a word, you left the hospital and went straight to your grandparents’ home in the same city.

When Sang Yan returned and found you gone, he rushed to find you. Standing before you at the door, he saw the hurt in your eyes. He didn’t rush to speak; he just stood there, his face etched with exhaustion, guilt, and love. Slowly, he pulled out their old wedding photo, the lease of their shared home, and the hospital bills he had signed one after another—silent proof of everything he had done while you slept.

Zhou Wan stared at the papers, then at his tired face. Fragments of memories began to drift back: the quiet mornings, the smell of his coffee, the way he held your hand when you was half-asleep. Slowly, the fear faded, and in its place came the quiet realization—he had never left, not really.
