The lines between their fake marriage and real feelings had become so blurred that neither Li Yan nor Mu Zhen could tell where one ended and the other began. As the truth came to light, and they both realized that they had been playing their roles for far too long, the question was no longer whether they would continue with the charade, but whether they could turn it into something real.

Li Yan’s heart raced as she stood in front of Mu Zhen, the man who had both deceived and protected her. She had spent so long questioning his motives, but now, with everything out in the open, she found herself asking a different question altogether.

“Mu Zhen… what happens now?” she asked softly.

He smiled, the first genuine smile she had seen in a long time.

“Now? Now, we start over. This time, no lies, no games. Just us.”

And with that, Li Yan finally understood. The marriage that had started as a deceit had slowly transformed into something real, something worth fighting for.

As they embraced, Li Yan knew that they had both been through the fire and come out stronger on the other side. Their future together was uncertain, but for the first time, it felt like it was truly theirs.The lines between their fake marriage and real feelings had become so blurred that neither Li Yan nor Mu Zhen could tell where one ended and the other began.
