“How would you know if you don’t try?” w.a.n.g Yi even said this at that time.


Bian Tong did try.


It was in the life when he first met her.


In that life, he truly believed that as long as they ignored the world’s judgment, even if they could only be together for one life, they would not waste a single minute and second.


They lived in a small village. The environment was quiet and the scenery was beautiful. It was a beautiful place like a paradise.


He hired someone to build their house. It was different from his farmhouse. Everything in the house was the best.


Bian Tong’s appearance would never change, forever remaining in his twenties. This meant that they would never be able to have a fixed circle of friends, let alone appear frequently in the public eye.


At that time, she was a promising zither lady from the capital. She was willing to live in seclusion in the fields for him. At that time, this matter was sensational. Those high-ranking officials and n.o.bles did not understand why she would do this.


What kind of man could make her give up her bright future, fame, wealth, and vanity?


Bian Tong couldn’t give her any glory, but he could compensate her in other ways.


Silk and satin were good things that even the imperial concubines could not get, and all kinds of rare treasures were there just to make her smile.


After that, they lived a few years as a couple. His kindness to her always made up for everything she had lost.


However, as the days pa.s.sed, the smile on her face became fewer and fewer.


He asked her if she was troubled by anything, but she said no, she was just a grown-up. She would not always be like a little girl who could laugh at anything.


That day, an opera troupe came to the village to settle down. A lady recognized her. She regarded her as her idol and had always hoped to have the opportunity to meet her. She did not expect to meet her here.


Their encounter by chance stirred up waves in Xiao Linxian ordinary life.


From then on, she often came to see her.


The content of the conversation changed from discussing the zither skills with her to why she had left the capital in the first place.


Xiao Linxian brought her to see Bian Tong.


At that time, she was twenty-three years old, while Bian Tong was twenty-five years old.


They looked like Romeo and Juliet.


The lady immediately understood that her idol’s decision was not impulsive, and there was nothing to regret. If she could meet such a good husband, she could give up on any future without blinking.


Her admiration and envy gave her great confidence.


During that time, the smile on her face became much more obvious. Bian Tong knew that she liked to bring him to see the people from the troupe, so he complied with her request. The few of them drank and chatted, exchanged creative works, and Bian Tong paid for them. Everyone complimented him.


Later on, the troupe wanted to leave for the capital city. The lady asked Xiao Linxian if she had any plans to return to the capital city. If she did, she could go with them and bring Bian Tong along.


She declined politely.


She could give up everything for love.


The people in the troupe envied her and Bian Tong. They even composed a song about her and brought it back to the capital.


Later on, more and more people found out why she left the capital and were moved by her story.


She had also found a new foothold in her heart. She looked at Bian Tong every day, saw the way they were together, and saw the envious gazes of others. She believed that her decision was definitely right.


This kind of life lasted for seven years until the first wrinkle appeared in the corner of her eyes…


There was a crack in his heart.


Bian Tong bought her the best skincare products, the best things that could be obtained in that dynasty.


The effect was not bad at first.


In ancient times, thirty years old was considered middle age. However, her skin was as tender as snow, and she was even more stunning than when she was in her early twenties.


When he was with Bian Tong, the age difference was not obvious.


However, as time pa.s.sed, she would spend more and more time on skincare every day, and the things that Bian Tong needed to get for her would also increase.


She chose not to have children. She said that women would look older if they had children. Bian Tong accepted it.


However, she later realized that all her efforts were just to delay the arrival of that day.


They were in denial.


The more she cherished her looks, the more she aged, and the more everything collapsed!


There was no plastic surgery at that time. The forty-five-year-old Xiao Linxian and Bian Tong were like mother and son.


People who saw her still felt that she was beautiful, but she was just a beautiful middle-aged woman.


She gradually stopped going out and meeting outsiders.


The legend of her retirement for love had disappeared from the streets.


Bian Tong never cared. He had seen too many people grow old and even die by his side. Therefore, from the first day he was with her, he knew that such a day would come. Moreover, in his opinion, she was still beautiful.


However, she did not think so.


She was a complete idealist.


She couldn’t stand the fact that she was old and her looks were declining, but Bian Tong was still as handsome as ever. He had always stayed in the best times, and she was the only one who was driven forward by time.


Her temper gradually became irritable and strange. That day, Bian Tong came back after buying her favorite pastries, but he saw a mess on the ground. The servant girl in the house said that she had broken all the bronze mirrors.


She hid in the darkest corner of the room and cried, not letting anyone open the curtains.


Bian Tong tried to comfort her. She grabbed his hand and asked him in an almost neurotic tone why he bought her pastries and not a pearl hairpin. In the past, every time he came back from the market, he would buy her a pearl hairpin. Did he think that she was too ugly and could not wear a pearl hairpin?


Faced with her unreasonable behavior, Bian Tong only gently said that he had also bought the pearl hairpin, but he wanted to modify it according to the way she liked it. He would only pick it up in a few days.


He had wanted to give it to her as a surprise, but he did not expect her to ask.


She asked if it was true, and she was extremely happy.


Bian Tong hugged her and said that he would love her forever.


She happily looked at their interlocked hands, only to see Bian Tong’s hands that were as beautiful as a piece of art, and her own hands with the veins and joints growing bigger and bigger. There were also ugly spots that would grow bigger and bigger in the future.


The smile froze on her face.


Later on, Bian Tong personally made a red hairpin for her. The thin conical tip had an inverted hook, and it was very firm on her hair bun.


It was a gift for his beloved girl.


However, he did not expect that he would lose his true love forever…
