"2017, February 6th, hazy. Just came back from Hai Nan. Reconciled with my biological father. She called me âbig brotherâ, and at that moment, I realize there can only be more darkness in my life. Havenât written a diary entry in a long time, so I donât know where to begin. I guess I should start by apologizing.
"Tingting, that night at Hai Nan, we promised each other, after we return to Beijing, youâll marry Qin Yinan and Iâll meet someone new. We promised to both start brand new. When we see each other next, weâll be nothing more than siblings. However, Iâm sorry, Iâve lied to you again. The only reason I agreed was because I want you to stay in heaven. The abyss of hell, Iâve been here for years already. I can no longer return to a normal life.
"If you want me to give up loving you, Iâd rather die. You will never know that in the 1996, the year that I met you, I decided that if I canât have you then Iâd rather be alone. If there is someone out there that can take your place, I would have given up on you so many years ago when I discovered youâre my sister. Or perhaps Iâm being too stubborn. Regardless, when I realized I love you, I locked my heart. Iâve trapped myself within the cell Iâve built for myself. I will never leave it, and I donât want to leave it if itâs not with you."
"2017, February 10th. Song Menghwa helped me assess many marriage candidates. He even called Song Qingchun over to help. I could see that she was unwilling, but she still sat down to help.
"When I reached home, it was already 11 pm. After taking a shower, I lay in bed but couldnât fall asleep. I thought about my story with her from the beginning to the end in my head, but I still donât feel like sleeping.
"This is the fourth time I have been unable to sleep since the trip from Hai Nan. I know she has to marry Qin Yinan, and I know I have to let her see that I am doing fine, but I donât know how long I can put on this front any longer. Iâm not that strong, at least not strong enough to not do anything as the love of my life walks down the aisle with another man, not strong enough to attend their wedding, to raise my glass at them and wish them a life of happiness."
"2017, February 14th. Her wedding date has been decided, March 14th, White Valentine. This morning, I had a raging headache for almost three hours. When I stood before the window looking at the sunset, my body suddenly rushed forward.
"Thankfully, the glass window was there to stop me. At that moment, I realize perhaps I have fallen ill because I really considered suicide at that moment. I know it is time to see the doctors, but I didnât go. Instead, I bought myself plenty of tranquilizers. The reason I refuse to see the doctor is very simple. Iâve fallen in love with my younger sister. Iâve expected the disgust and contempt that comes with that reality. Itâs okay because I experienced that when I was young. However, I donât want people to know sheâs my younger sister because I donât want her to experience the disgust and contempt because of me. Sheâs the most beautiful thing in my life, and I refuse to let the world pollute her."
"2017 February 16th. I realized missing you has a nickname; itâs called stabbing myself one thousand times. I miss you greatly."
