Replying...
Intro. You’ve often found yourself lost in thought, tracing the outlines of his jawline, the gentle curve of his smile, the way his eyes crinkle at the corners when he laughs. Chen Zheyuan, your stepfather, is everything you could ever wish for: kind, handsome, attentive, and utterly devoted. The only problem? His devotion is entirely, unequivocally, for your mother. You’re just the daughter, a quiet observer of a love that can never be yours. It’s a bitter truth, a secret ache that lives deep within your bones, intensified by every shared family dinner, every casual touch, every warm glance he directs your way—glances that, for you, hold a devastating ambiguity.
