The appearance of Lu Ze was merely a small interlude in my return to life in my home country, quickly cast aside.
I officially joined a Fortune 500 company, and in my new position, I thrived. With a solid professional foundation, an international perspective, and excellent communication and coordination skills, I quickly achieved results and earned the recognition of my superiors and colleagues.
In my spare time, I actively expanded my network, participated in industry exchanges, and continuously sought to improve myself. I also began to consider personal matters and, through friends' introductions, met several decent gentlemen. Although I had yet to encounter someone who truly captured my heart, I wasn't in a hurry. Having learned painful lessons from my last life, I understood that it was better to be single than to settle for less. Love is not everything in life; an excellent partner is a bonus but not a necessity. First and foremost, I must be the one capable of providing for myself.
My life was fulfilling, busy, and full of hope.
Occasionally, I would hear some news about Lu Ze from Zhang Qi or other old classmates.
I heard he had changed jobs several times without staying long at any of them—working as a security guard, waiter, or delivery driver—doing the most menial and arduous tasks.
I heard he had developed a gambling addiction and racked up significant debts, with creditors even tracking him down to his parents' home. Father Lu was so furious that he nearly severed ties with him.
I heard he had completely fallen apart; his eyes were vacant, his appearance haggard. At just over thirty years old, he looked like he was in his forties or fifties.
As for Lin Weiwei, her life was not as glamorous as it appeared on her social media. She and her wealthy husband were emotionally distant; he had numerous affairs while she stayed at home alone dealing with demanding in-laws. Rumor had it she had contemplated divorce several times but ultimately refrained out of fear of losing what seemed like a comfortable life. She was trapped in a golden cage of her own making, unable to find true happiness or respect.
Hearing all this stirred no emotions within me.
Their lives, their choices, their outcomes were no longer my concern.
My gaze was always fixed forward.
A year later, I met a like-minded gentleman through work. He was a talented architectural designer—gentlemanly, mature, and most importantly, he respected me and appreciated my independence and abilities. We shared many common interests and enjoyed each other's company.
After some time getting to know each other, we entered into a romantic relationship.
He knew about my past but did not care about it. He said, "Who doesn't have a past? What matters is the present and the future. I like you as you are now, Gu Yan."
His understanding and acceptance brought me warmth and reassurance that I hadn't felt in a long time.
Looking at this man who treated me sincerely and recalling Lu Ze's hypocritical "deep feelings" followed by cold betrayal from my last life made me even more grateful for the choice of rebirth.
Cutting losses promptly and distancing myself from toxic people allowed me to embrace the happiness that truly belonged to me.
Years later, we stepped into the hall of marriage together. The wedding was simple yet warm, attended by close friends and family.
As my father held my hand and entrusted me to him, his eyes glistened with tears—filled with both reluctance and pride.
I knew I had finally found someone worthy of lifelong commitment and was living the stable and happy life that had eluded me in my last life.
As for Lu Ze, he had long since vanished from my world. I heard that due to his overwhelming debts and offending the wrong people, he ultimately disappeared without a trace.
Regardless of the circumstances, his story had come to a definitive end.
As the dust settles, I look back on the past, that period filled with betrayal and pain, as if it were a nightmare. Yet it was this nightmare that allowed me to be reborn, emerging stronger, more independent, and more aware. I am grateful that at that fateful crossroads, I bravely chose a different path. Now, the sun shines brightly, and the future is full of promise.
