Looking back, I had tried to win his affection like a puppy, seducing him, but his heart was unyielding. He remained faithful to the female lead, often risking his life to shield her. He merely said I didn't need to interfere.

I died on a night when snow fell heavily, and in the end, I never got to see the pear blossoms bloom.
