Rebirth of Love: Jiang Ciyou's Counterattack Legend

Jiang Ciyou locked herself in the room, sitting on the bed, clutching her hair tightly with both hands, the struggle in her heart was like a surging tide, hitting her wave after wave. The room was terribly quiet, with only her heavy breathing and disordered heartbeat intertwined.

Outside the window, the neon lights of the city flickered, and the hustle and bustle of traffic came faintly through the glass, but it could not dispel the haze in her heart. Her eyes fell dully on a painting on the wall. It was a sketch she and Lu Jingchen drew when they went to the beach together. The two people in the painting smiled brightly, and their eyes were full of longing for the future. But now, this painting is like a sharp knife, deeply hurting her heart.

Memories came flooding back, and those wonderful times spent with Lu Jingchen seemed like yesterday. They waited for the sunrise together at the beach, the sea breeze blew gently, Lu Jingchen hugged her tightly, and whispered sweet words in her ear; they walked on the street in the rain, Lu Jingchen stepped on the puddles mischievously, and the splashing water wet their trouser legs, but only exchanged for their cheerful laughter; and that time when she was sick, Lu Jingchen stayed by her bedside, awake all night, and the worry and concern in his eyes made her feel the warmth she had never felt before. These memories are like bright stars, illuminating her once dark world, allowing her to experience the beauty and sweetness of love again.

However, the shadow of reality loomed over her like a dark cloud, lingering. Her husband's threats were like a tight ring, tightening her nerves at all times. She knew clearly that her husband was a selfish and ruthless man. If she insisted on not returning to him, he would definitely do whatever it took to ruin her reputation. Those possible scenarios emerged in her mind one by one: her career would suffer a heavy blow, and her partners would withdraw their investment due to her husband's malicious slander; her reputation would become notorious in this city, and her relatives and friends would look at her with strange eyes; she might even lose everything she had, become penniless, and live on the streets.

Jiang Ciyou's eyes revealed deep fear and helplessness. She didn't know how to choose. She was afraid of being hurt again. The pain of being betrayed by her husband was still unforgettable. The feeling of being ruthlessly abandoned by the person she trusted the most made her cautious and treading on thin ice when facing new relationships. She was worried that if she chose Lu Jingchen, she would fall into a bigger whirlpool. After all, there were too many secrets and complicated things hidden behind Lu Jingchen's identity.

There seemed to be two voices arguing fiercely in her heart. One voice said: "Believe in Lu Jingchen, he really loves you, he has done so much for you, you can feel his heart. Don't be bound by the shadow of the past, bravely pursue your own happiness." But the other voice reminded her: "Have you forgotten the pain you once suffered? Love is unreliable, Lu Jingchen's identity is so complicated, if he has some ulterior motives, you will be doomed again. Going back to your husband, although there may be no love, but at least you can keep everything you have now."

Jiang Ciyou stood up and paced slowly in the room, her steps heavy and messy. She walked to the window and stared at the night sky outside, trying to find a hint of answer from the twinkling stars. However, the night sky remained silent and did not give her any inspiration.

As time went by, Jiang Ciyou became more and more tormented. Her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and her hands clenched and unclenched unconsciously. She felt as if she was standing at a crossroads in her life. One wrong step would lead to more wrong steps. Every choice was related to her future and happiness.

Suddenly, the ringing of a cell phone broke the silence in the room, and Jiang Ciyou was startled. She picked up the phone and saw that it was a call from her best friend. After hesitating for a moment, she picked up the phone. Her best friend asked softly on the other end of the phone: "Ciyou, what have you thought about? No matter what decision you make, I support you, but you must be cautious." Jiang Ciyou was silent for a moment, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "I'm still struggling, I don't know what to do. I can't bear to leave Lu Jingchen, but I'm afraid..." The best friend sighed and said: "I understand your feelings. It is indeed difficult to balance love and reality. But you have to think about what is most important to you. If you choose Lu Jingchen, you must be prepared to face all unknown risks; if you return to your husband, you must also consider whether you can endure a life without love." The words of the best friend made Jiang Ciyou fall into deeper contemplation.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Ciyou sat back on the bed, closed her eyes, and tried to calm herself down. Lu Jingchen's face kept appearing in her mind, his smile, his eyes, his gentleness, and everything he had done for her. She remembered the moment when Lu Jingchen rushed out to protect her without hesitation when she was threatened by a stranger. His eyes were full of determination and resoluteness, as if she was the most important person in his life. At that moment, Jiang Ciyou felt a sense of security she had never felt before.

However, when she thought of her husband's threats and Lu Jingchen's complicated identity, the fear in her heart spread again. She didn't know if she had enough courage to face all this and whether she could bear the possible consequences.

Just as Jiang Ciyou was in deep entanglement and pain, there was a gentle knock on the door. Jiang Ciyou's body stiffened, she knew that it might be Lu Jingchen. She took a deep breath, stood up, walked to the door, and opened it.

Lu Jingchen stood at the door, his eyes full of worry and concern. He looked at Jiang Ciyou's haggard face, and his heart ached. He asked softly: "Ciyou, what's wrong with you? You have been avoiding me these days. Did I do something wrong?" Jiang Ciyou lowered her head slightly, avoiding Lu Jingchen's gaze, and said in a trembling voice: "Nothing, I'm just a little tired and want to be alone." Lu Jingchen frowned slightly, he took a step forward, held Jiang Ciyou's hand, and said: "Ciyou, I know what you are worried about. I also know that my identity has caused you a lot of trouble, but I promise you that my feelings for you are real, and I will use my actions to prove everything." Jiang Ciyou raised her head and looked into Lu Jingchen's eyes. She saw sincerity and determination in his eyes.

Lu Jingchen gently embraced Jiang Ciyou in his arms, his arms were warm and strong. Jiang Ciyou leaned in his arms, tears could not help but burst out. She felt the long-lost peace of mind and warmth in this embrace, and at that moment, the balance in her heart began to slowly tilt.

However, when Lu Jingchen left, Jiang Ciyou's heart fell into struggle again. She knew that she couldn't make a decision just by relying on momentary emotions and impulses, and she needed to think more calmly and rationally.

Jiang Ciyou sat at the desk, took out a piece of paper and a pen, and decided to write down her inner thoughts and worries one by one, trying to sort out her thoughts in this way. She wrote down Lu Jingchen's strengths and weaknesses, as well as the problems and challenges they might face together; she also wrote down her husband's threats and the pros and cons of returning to him. However, the words on the paper made her more confused. Every choice was like a double-edged sword, making it difficult for her to make a decision.

It was late at night, and the city gradually fell into a deep sleep, but Jiang Ciyou was still sitting at the desk, staring at the paper full of words. Her eyes revealed fatigue and determination. She knew that this decision would change her life, and she couldn't act rashly.

After a long period of thinking, Jiang Ciyou finally had a vague answer in her heart. She knew that she could not hesitate like this any longer. She needed to face her heart bravely and make a decision. Whether this decision was right or wrong, she had to be responsible for her own life.

Jiang Ciyou stood up, walked to the window, opened it, and took a deep breath of fresh air. There was a hint of determination in her eyes. She decided to follow her heart and pursue true happiness.

Although her heart was still filled with fear and anxiety, Jiang Ciyou knew that this was a step she had to take. She believed that as long as she and Lu Jingchen supported each other and faced the challenges of the future together, they would be able to overcome all difficulties and move towards the other side of happiness.

On this quiet night, Jiang Ciyou made the most important decision in her life. This decision is full of unknowns and risks, but she is willing to try it bravely for love and her own happiness. She knows that the road ahead is still long, full of hardships and ups and downs, but she is ready to embrace a new life and write a story that belongs to herself and Lu Jingchen.
