Rebirth of Love: Jiang Ciyou's Counterattack Legend

Jiang Ciyou sat alone in the office, with documents piled on her desk, but she had no intention of dealing with them. The dim light from the computer screen reflected her tired and haggard face. Those unread emails and flashing work reminders became a heavy burden for her at this moment. Outside the window, the hustle and bustle of the city was still going on, with people rushing for life in the busy traffic, but she felt as if she was trapped in the center of a dark vortex, unable to break free.

Her fingers tapped unconsciously on the table, and her thoughts drifted back to the past. The scene of the wedding night reappeared like a nightmare, and her husband's heartless text message was like a cold blade, instantly shattering her joy and expectations. At that time, she was immersed in great pain, full of resentment towards her husband, and just wanted to find a way to retaliate and let him know that he was not a weak person who could be trampled on at will. So, she stepped into those high-end places with bright lights and wine, trying to find the so-called "comfort" in a nearly self-destructive way, and then she met Lu Jingchen.

At first, Lu Jingchen's appearance was like a piece of driftwood that a drowning person grabbed. He had an outstanding appearance and a gentle and considerate personality. Those sweet times, strolls on the beach, and dates in restaurants really made her forget the pain temporarily. She thought she could start over and completely put aside the haze of the past, but reality gave her a heavy blow.

Now, her husband's revenge has put her life in a desperate situation. The company's business has plummeted, and the calls from partners have changed from enthusiastic cooperation negotiations to indifferent questioning and evasion. The capital chain is like a rope stretched to the limit, which may break at any time. Once it breaks, the company will face a catastrophe and the employees will lose their jobs. The eyes of those who trust her and follow her to fight have become a huge stone weighing on her heart. In terms of public opinion, the overwhelming rumors are like stings, piercing her body. Walking on the street, she can always feel strange eyes, whispers as if following her, and relatives and friends' concerned but doubtful inquiries make her feel exhausted every time she answers the phone.

She began to question her original decision. Was she too impulsive, cutting off her relationship with her husband and diving headfirst into a relationship with Lu Jingchen just because of a momentary impulse? Did she overestimate her ability to bear it, thinking that she could move from a broken marriage to a new happiness without any damage, but ignoring the complexity and cruelty of reality?

She thought of every moment she had spent with Lu Jingchen, and those romantic moments were now overshadowed. Perhaps from the beginning, she had mistaken dependence for love, and her escape from past pain for the courage to start over. She used Lu Jingchen to fill the emptiness in her heart, but she had never really considered the future direction of this relationship. And now, not only was she in trouble, but she had also implicated Lu Jingchen. He could have lived a carefree life, but because of her, he was dragged into this chaotic dispute.

Jiang Ciyou's eyes dimmed, and she looked out the window at the seemingly prosperous yet unfamiliar city, her heart full of confusion. She didn't know how to save the situation, and she didn't know if she still had the courage and ability to face the problems that followed one after another. The road ahead seemed to be shrouded in thick fog, she couldn't see the direction clearly, and every step she took was filled with fear and uneasiness. She even thought, if she hadn't been so stubborn and chose to silently endure her husband's betrayal, would she not be suffering now? But then, she shook her head in self-mockery. She knew her character very well and it was impossible for her to tolerate such humiliation. It was just that this journey was so difficult that she, who was once full of longing, was now left with only fatigue and self-doubt.

The phone on the desk vibrated. It was a message from Lu Jingchen, asking about her today. Jiang Ciyou's eyes moistened as she read the short but caring message. She knew that Lu Jingchen had been trying to help her, but the guilt in her heart was getting deeper and deeper. How should she respond to this feeling? Should she continue to rely on him, or let go rationally and not let him get herself into a deeper predicament? These questions were like a tangled mess, entangled in her mind, and she couldn't find a clue.

She stood up, walked to the window, folded her arms, and tried to give herself some warmth. The lights of the city lit up one by one in the darkening sky, but the light of hope in her heart was about to go out. Jiang Ciyou knew that she had to make a choice at this moment, whether it was about love or the future direction of her life, but this choice was too difficult because she had lost her former courage and confidence, and was tightly bound by self-doubt and could not break free.

Employees in the company left work one after another. When they passed by her office, they would secretly cast a glance at her, with worry and expectation in their eyes. They expected that the leader who had led them all the way could turn the tide again, but Jiang Ciyou felt that she had failed this trust. She returned to her desk, sat down weakly, and opened one document after another. The data and plans became strange and scary at this moment, as if they were laughing at her incompetence.

Suddenly, a scene of her and her husband falling in love flashed through her mind. At that time, they had sweetness and longing, planning their future life together, but how did it become like this? Was it human greed, or the hardships of life that made everything change? And the appearance of Lu Jingchen, was it the salvation of fate, or another wrong turn? She could not find the answer, and could only suffer alone in this endless self-doubt.

As the night deepened, only Jiang Ciyou was left in the office. The light stretched her shadow very long, as if it was the embodiment of her inner hesitation and confusion. She knew that escaping like this was not a solution, but taking the first step was not easy. She picked up her phone again and looked at Lu Jingchen's profile picture. Her fingers hesitated for a long time above the screen, and finally let go helplessly. At this moment, she did not have the courage to face this complicated feeling, nor the confidence to face the unknown tomorrow. She could only let herself continue to sink in this dark abyss of self-doubt.

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Ciyou finally left the office with heavy steps. Outside the building, the cold wind was howling. She hugged her arms tightly, but still couldn't resist the chill in her heart. The street lamps on the street emitted a dim light, illuminating her lonely way home. Along the way, her mind kept echoing the laughter and joy of the past and the painful sighs of today. The sharp contrast made her steps heavier. When she returned home, the empty room made her loneliness infinitely magnified. She curled up on the sofa, looking at the dark ceiling, and tears finally burst out. In this silent night, she fully released the pain, confusion and self-doubt in her heart, but after her tears dried up, the real problems were still in front of her, waiting for her to solve, but she had not yet found the key to open the door of hope.
