Your name is in my heart. Fiction
Your name is in my heart.

I have always liked Qin Wenhao, but to what extent? The day before his wedding, he told me that Lin Qian had run away and asked me to pretend to be his bride. I agreed. I changed my name and identity, becoming a completely different person, and went with him to another city to start a new life. After two years of living together, just when I thought there might be some special feelings in his heart for me, his true love came back. He told me that he had always loved Lin Qian and could only offer me an apology. So I smiled and nodded, saying okay, took the bank card he had given me, and walked away. I thought he would never appear in my life again, but many years later, he stood in front of me and said, "Xu Lan, I want to take back that apology..." The most beautiful moments in life are not when we are young and in love, but in the cold winter, with our hands resting on the same cup of instant noodles, finding warmth in each other's smiles. This is a story of a "scumbag" turning around. Ugly girl vs. aspiring man.
