Rebirth of Love: Jiang Ciyou's Counterattack Legend

Jiang Ciyou sat alone in the room, the dim light shining on her body, as if covering her with a layer of melancholy. Her heart was like a turbulent sea, being pulled by two powerful forces, causing her to fall into an endless struggle.

She first thought of her husband. Once upon a time, their meeting seemed like a wonderful encounter arranged by fate. It was a sunny spring day, with petals fluttering in the wind. She was wearing an elegant dress and walking in the park full of vitality. Her husband accidentally hit her while riding a bicycle and helped her up in panic. At that moment, their eyes met and the spark of love seemed to be ignited at that moment. Since then, they began to date frequently, strolling in every corner of the city together, sharing each other's joys and sorrows. In those days, her husband's smile was like warm sunshine, which could dispel all the haze in her heart. His gentle words, every sentence was like a sweet note, playing the movement of love. They hugged and kissed in the moonlight and made an eternal vow by the sea.

However, the betrayal on the wedding night was like a sharp sword, ruthlessly cutting off all these beautiful memories. That night, when she was looking forward to spending a good night with her husband with joy, what she received was a cold text message informing her that her husband had eloped abroad with another woman. At that moment, her world collapsed, and the sweetness she had once felt instantly vanished, replaced by endless pain and despair. She felt like a poor person who was pushed from heaven to hell, and her heart was filled with anger, resentment and confusion.

Now, her husband is back, standing in front of her with guilt and expectation. His eyes are full of regret, and his words are full of confession for past mistakes. She has to admit that when she saw her husband appear again, the flame of love that had been extinguished in her heart seemed to be rekindled a little. Memories of the past came like a tide, and those beautiful moments kept replaying in her mind, trying to break through the defenses in her heart. She began to think, if she accepted her husband again, would they be able to regain their former happiness? Could she truly forgive his betrayal? She was afraid that this was just a momentary impulse of her husband, and she was afraid of falling into the painful abyss of betrayal again. She knew that once she accepted him again, it would mean that she would have to take the risk of opening her heart again, and this time the damage might be more fatal than the last time.

At this time, Lu Jingchen's figure also forcefully broke into her thoughts. Lu Jingchen was like a sudden spring breeze that blew into her dark and cold world. They met when she was at her lowest point, in that bar, with flashing lights and loud music. She just wanted to find someone to fill the emptiness in her heart and avenge her husband's betrayal. But Lu Jingchen attracted her with his unique charm. His smile had an indescribable magic that made her forget all her troubles the moment she saw it. The time they spent together was full of passion and romance.

When they went on vacation to the beach together, Lu Jingchen would get up early in the morning, prepare a delicious breakfast for her, and then take her for a walk along the beach. The waves gently hit the beach, and their footprints left a string of beautiful traces on the beach. The sun shone on them, and Lu Jingchen would suddenly pick her up and spin her in the sea breeze, and her laughter echoed in the air. In high-end restaurants, Lu Jingchen would always carefully pull out a chair for her, order her favorite dishes, and then look at her affectionately in the candlelight, as if she was the most precious treasure in the world.

However, it was not all smooth sailing between them. They also had quarrels, and those quarrels were like storms, temporarily breaking the harmony between them. Sometimes it was because of some small things, such as Lu Jingchen forgetting their anniversary, or she lost her temper with Lu Jingchen because of work pressure. These quarrels made her realize that there were also unstable factors in their relationship. She was worried that if she chose Lu Jingchen, these small problems would accumulate into big conflicts in the future, eventually leading to the breakdown of the relationship.

Deep in her heart, she kept asking herself, who should she choose? If she chose her husband, everything between her and Lu Jingchen would become a thing of the past. She didn't know if she could be so cruel as to give up her feelings for Lu Jingchen. She had gotten used to Lu Jingchen's company. His gentleness, his thoughtfulness, his little surprises, all of which had become an indispensable part of her life. But if she chose Lu Jingchen, she couldn't completely erase her husband's place in her heart. After all, they had so many good memories, and her husband now seemed so sincere in wanting to get back together.

She felt like she was standing at a crossroads. On the left was the road to a fresh start with her husband, and on the right was the direction to continue moving forward with Lu Jingchen. No matter which road she chose, it was full of unknowns and risks. She was afraid of making the wrong choice, afraid of hurting one of them, and even more afraid of being hurt again. This inner struggle made her feel extremely painful and helpless, and she felt that she was about to be torn in half by this tangled emotion.

She tried to analyze which of the two of them she had deeper feelings for. Her feelings for her husband were like an old tree rooted deep in her heart. Although it had been ravaged by wind and rain, the roots still existed. The memories of the past were like the soil around the roots, constantly nourishing the remaining feelings. Her feelings for Lu Jingchen were like a blooming flower, gorgeous and full of vitality. Each petal exuded a charming fragrance, representing every beautiful moment between them. However, although flowers are beautiful, they are also easily affected by the outside world, such as wind, rain, and insect pests.

She thought about how people around her would view her if she got back together with her husband. Would her friends and family understand her choice? Would they think she was too weak to easily forgive someone who had betrayed her? How would public opinion evaluate her? Would she become a topic of conversation after dinner and be criticized? And if she was with Lu Jingchen, his background might also cause her some trouble. His family and his career would be intertwined with her life, and she didn't know if she could handle these complicated relationships.

She began to think about her future life again. If she stayed with her husband, would their lives return to the way they were before? Would they be able to trust each other as before? Would her husband's betrayal be like a scar that would never heal, lying between them and causing her pain every time she saw it? Being with Lu Jingchen, their future was full of infinite possibilities, but this possibility was also accompanied by uncertainty. Could they face the difficulties in life together? Could Lu Jingchen really stay by her side forever and never leave her?

Her heart became exhausted from this endless thinking and struggle. Her eyes revealed confusion and pain. She didn't know how long she could hold on, and when she would find the right answer. She felt like she was falling into a dark abyss, with no end and no hope. Every thought was like a knife, cutting another hole in her already broken heart. She tried to calm herself down, but her thoughts were like a wild horse that could not be controlled. She longed for a voice to tell her what to do at this time, but there was only endless silence around her. This silence allowed her to hear the struggle in her heart more clearly, as if two little people were arguing fiercely in her mind, one said to choose her husband, and the other said to choose Lu Jingchen, and no one was willing to give in.

Her hands tightly grasped the corners of her clothes, and her fingers turned pale because of the force. Her body trembled slightly, as if she was making a final resistance to the inner struggle. She knew that this decision would affect her whole life, and she could not make a choice easily. But this tangled state almost made her collapse, and she didn't know how long she could endure this mental torture. She closed her eyes, trying to escape the hustle and bustle in her heart, but those memories and worries kept playing in her mind like a movie. She took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, hoping to calm herself down, but it didn't work. She felt like she was trapped in an invisible cage, and no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't escape.

Time passed by minute by minute, and she still sat there, immersed in her own inner world. Sometimes her face showed a painful expression, and sometimes there was a hint of hesitation and confusion. Her hair was a little messy, as if it was an outward manifestation of her inner entanglement. Her lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to start. Her whole body was shrouded in this inner struggle, unable to extricate herself. She felt like she was lost in a vast desert, unable to find an exit, and there were only endless sand dunes and scorching sunshine around her. She longed to find an oasis, an answer that would make her feel at ease, but this desert seemed to have no end. She could only continue to struggle forward, hoping to suddenly find the right direction at some point.

She began to recall the books and movies she had read, those stories about love and choices. She tried to find some inspiration from other people's experiences, but she found that everyone's situation was unique and those stories could not fully apply to her current situation. She remembered the heroine in a novel who hesitated between two men and ended up losing both of them because of an accident. She was afraid that she would go down the same path and lose her true happiness because of her indecision. She told herself that she couldn't go on like this and had to make a decision as soon as possible. However, every time she wanted to lean towards a certain choice, the advantages and memories of the other choice would immediately come to her mind, destroying her newly established determination again.

She thought about her career again. If she chose her husband, would his return have an impact on her career? Would he support her career pursuits, or would he only focus on his own interests as before? If she chose Lu Jingchen, his help to her career was obvious, but would this make their relationship impure and become an exchange of interests? She didn't want to sacrifice her career for her feelings, and she longed to succeed in both love and career. But now, this choice seemed to be closely related to her career, which made it even more difficult for her to make a decision.

Various scenes with her husband and Lu Jingchen kept appearing in her mind. When she attended a business dinner with her husband, her husband's confidence and demeanor made her proud; when she strolled on the streets late at night with Lu Jingchen, Lu Jingchen's humor and warmth made her feel happy. She didn't know how to weigh these two different kinds of happiness, one based on past memories and social status, and the other based on pure emotion and passion. She felt like she was in the middle of a scale, with her husband and Lu Jingchen at the two ends of the scale. No matter which end was slightly heavier, the scale would tilt, and she didn't know which side she should put her weight on.

She thought of her childhood dream, when she longed for a perfect love and a happy family. She thought she had found it, but her husband's betrayal shattered her dream. Now, this choice is once again in front of her, and she doesn't know if she dares to pursue that dream. She is afraid of being disappointed again, afraid that her dream will be ruthlessly shattered again. She feels that she no longer has enough courage to face possible failure, but she doesn't want to give up this opportunity to regain happiness. This contradictory psychology makes her heart more entangled, like a tangled mess, the more she sorts it out, the more confused it becomes.

Her cell phone lay quietly beside her. She would occasionally glance at it, as if hoping to get some answers from it. There might be messages from her husband or greetings from Lu Jingchen. She didn't know how to reply to them. Every message was like a hot potato. She didn't know whether to answer it. She was afraid that her reply would give them the wrong signal and make things more complicated. She turned the phone over, not wanting to see it again, but her mind was still on the phone, on the two men who might send messages.

She felt her body was numb, and her legs were a little sore from maintaining the same posture for a long time. She changed her posture, leaning on the sofa, staring at the ceiling with lifeless eyes. The chandelier on the ceiling was like a huge whirlpool, and she felt that her thoughts were also drawn into it, constantly spinning and struggling. She tried to get rid of this feeling, but she was powerless. Her heart was still wavering between her husband and Lu Jingchen. She didn't know when this painful struggle would end, and she didn't know what choice she would make in the end. She only knew that in this process, she was exhausted physically and mentally, and almost lost her faith in love and happiness.

She began to think again about what her life would be like if these things had not happened. She might live a plain and happy life with her husband, maybe have children, busy with household chores every day, but full of warmth. Or she would always be with Lu Jingchen, and they would create a beautiful life of their own together, full of romance and surprises. However, now these beautiful assumptions have been broken by reality, and she must make a decision between these two already complicated choices. She feels like a chess piece trapped in a chess game, and can only act according to the rules, but does not know what consequences each of her steps will bring.

Her inner struggle is not only about the choice of love, but also about the choice of her future life direction. She knows that no matter who she chooses, she will embark on a completely different path. Her values, lifestyle, and interpersonal relationships will change dramatically. She doesn't want to make the wrong choice because of a momentary impulse, but this long-term entanglement also makes her feel extremely painful. She hopes that there is a powerful force that can rescue her from this predicament, but she knows that the final answer can only be found by herself.

She remembered a sentence she had heard before: "Life is a journey full of choices, and each choice determines your next scenery." She didn't know what kind of scenery her choice would bring, a beautiful garden or a barren desert. Her heart was filled with fear of the unknown, but at the same time there was also a hint of anticipation for a new beginning. She knew that no matter what, she had to face this choice and couldn't escape forever. She took a deep breath, trying to cheer herself up and re-examine her feelings for her husband and Lu Jingchen, hoping to find a ray of hope in this endless struggle and find the answer that would calm her heart.

Her thoughts returned to her husband's betrayal. She wondered why her husband betrayed her, was it because of a momentary impulse, or was there a problem in their relationship? If it was a momentary impulse, could he really change completely? She recalled some of her husband's previous behaviors. Sometimes he would hide things from her. Although they were all small things, these small details were now infinitely magnified by her. She began to doubt her husband's character and whether he was really worthy of her trust again. As for Lu Jingchen, she also had her own concerns. She didn't fully understand his past, and his family background might also hide some secrets that she didn't know. She was afraid that one day in the future, something unexpected would happen and destroy their relationship.
