In Sickness & Health

Ailing's life took a dramatic turn the day his family arranged for him to marry the President of the Zhou Group. With a heart full of rebellion, he turned them down, choosing instead to run away with his childhood friend.

It was a choice that would haunt him forever.

As the years slipped by, the man he once adored revealed a darker side-controlling, abusive, and suffocating his spirit. Ailing found himself a prisoner in a gilded cage until a harsh diagnosis shattered his world. Stricken with a debilitating illness, he tried to return home, only to be turned away at the door.

In the end, Ailing breathed his last in a sterile hospital room, utterly alone, with no one to hold his hand or share his final moments.

But then, fate offered him a second chance.

ML: "That depends. Will you honour the other parts for me?"

MC: "The other parts?"

ML: "To have and to hold, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and health, to love and to cherish, till death we do part."

MC: "I would!"

ML: "Then it's settled. Let's get married," ML said as he grabbed MC and pulled him towards the luxurious black car. Before ML could think, they had reached the Civil Affairs office to register for the bright red marriage certificate
