The sky, filled with dark clouds, gives a suffocating and terrifying feeling.

Ruby is hanging in the air at the edge of a cliff, her only lifeline the man who is holding her arm tightly. However, the man's grip is gradually loosening...

"Ruby, don't blame me. If you need to blame someone, blame my weakness," the man says, a cold smile lingering on his face. His peach blossom-like eyes are cold and indifferent.

Ruby's heart sank immediately. She let out a sad laugh, "Jackson, I’ve loved you since I was ten years old. But you, you’ve been deceiving me all this time and using me."

"Are there so few people who have deceived you? Ruby, if you need to blame someone, blame yourself for trusting people so easily." After Jackson said these words, his grip gradually loosened.

The beautiful young woman tragically fell into the abyss.

As Ruby closed her eyes, a beautiful yet sad smile curled at the corners of her lips. In that moment, she finally understood that her whole life had been nothing more than a joke of unrequited love. If there were such a thing as the afterlife, she...

"Someone has drowned! We need help here!" This voice echoed in the school garden pool on an early autumn night.

At midnight, a girl, as pale as a sheet, was lying on a hospital bed. Her beautiful face, now drained of color, was as pale and tired as a white sheet of paper.

Next to her hospital bed sat a cold man. His attractive face was now filled with anger, his striking brows deeply furrowed.

"Didn't they say she was fine? Why hasn't she woken up yet?" the man spoke.

"Mr. Carter, Miss Smith almost drowned. Although she was saved, her body is still weak..."

"Enough, get out!" the man waved his hand in irritation, his icy eyes emitting a cold aura.

Seeing this, the doctor and nurse quickly left, as if they feared for their lives.

"Cough, cough, cough..." With a sharp cough, the girl lying in bed slowly opened her eyes.

Seeing the girl wake up, a hint of excitement appeared in the man's icy eyes, and he quickly grabbed her hand.

"You're awake? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" the man spoke.

"Yes... Arthur..." Seeing the man in front of her, Ruby was startled and, out of fear, immediately pulled her hand back.

How did she end up with this devil?

Ruby clearly remembered falling from a cliff.

Hadn't she died?

But wait,

Arthur's face... half of Arthur's face had been burned in a fire years ago, but now it was completely intact. Moreover, he looked much younger. Confused, Ruby stared at Arthur for a long time.

Seeing the cold indifference on his icy face, anger flared in his eyes, "Do you hate me this much? Would you rather die than get engaged to me?"

Engaged?

Ruby was stunned. Hadn't their engagement happened when they were twenty? Why was he talking about it now?

As Ruby was lost in confusion, the hospital room door suddenly opened.

A girl in a school uniform, holding a bouquet of flowers, appeared in the room.

"Ruby, why are you so careless? Do you know how much this hurts me?"

This girl was Jasmine Grace, Ruby's "best" friend.

But Ruby was taken aback by her school uniform.

What was happening?

Ruby looked at the angry man standing beside her in disbelief.

"Arthur, how old am I now?" Ruby asked.

"Twenty," the man replied briefly, barely opening his lips.

"Ruby, have you gone crazy from drowning? Have you forgotten? Next week you'll turn twenty. Many people will come to see your engagement with mister Carter. It will be quite a sight," Jasmine said.

Upon hearing this, Ruby was speechless, unable to say a word...

Twenty years old?

Engaged?

Wasn't that ten years ago...?

Could it be that she...
