My name is Lin Xiao, I am 27 years old this year, an ordinary girl, with a beautiful vision for marriage. I come from an ordinary family, and my parents always taught me to be kind and loving. In my imagination, marriage is a covenant of love for two people, a haven of warmth.
My encounter with him was like fate. His name is Li Qiang, and he is a friend of my college classmates. He was gentle, considerate, and always able to comfort me when I was tired. Our acquaintance and love are like a romantic story in a TV series, sweet and natural. However, I never thought that the bride price of 350,000 yuan was the beginning of this marriage story.
On the day of the wedding, I was dressed in a white wedding dress, and my heart was full of hope for the future. But I sensed something unusual—Li Qiang's family, especially his mother, was visibly indifferent to me. I didn't understand, but I chose to believe in love and stepped into this marriage with hope.
Life after marriage is not as sweet as I imagined. Li Qiang gradually became cold to me, and there was less and less communication between us. His mother was often critical of me, and even deliberately rejected me in every bit of life. I began to feel confused and disappointed, and kept asking myself, what kind of marriage was this?
Still, I didn't give up. I struggled to adjust to this new family and tried to find ways to improve the relationship. I tried to talk to Li Qiang's mother and try to make myself a part of the family. But all efforts seem to have been ruthlessly rejected.
My heart was filled with doubts, and I began to reflect on this marriage. Am I doing something wrong?Or is there really an insurmountable gulf between us?In the dead of night, I would lie in bed, pondering these questions until tears moistened my pillow.
On my wedding night, I accidentally discovered an amazing secret. When I was sorting out my clothes in Li Qiang's closet, I accidentally found a ** of him and another woman, which looked very intimate. I panicked, but more than that, I couldn't believe it. I decided to ask Li Qiang for confirmation.
In the face of my questioning, Li Qiang was silent. Eventually, he confessed everything – he had been in a relationship with the woman for two years. I felt the world spinning, but what shocked me even more was that it was his mother's plan. His mother forced him to marry me for a rich bride price, and his sincerity belonged to someone else.
This secret, like a sharp blade, pierced my heart fiercely. I felt betrayed and pained like never before. This marriage was a well-planned lie from the beginning.
Faced with such a cruel truth, I fell into deep contradictions and struggles. I didn't know what to do, my world seemed to fall apart. After thinking about it for a long time, I made a decision.
I chose to leave this marriage. I don't want to be a pawn in someone else's plan, and I don't want to give my feelings to this fake relationship anymore. I want to find myself again, and find the Lin Xiao who once longed for love.
This experience made me deeply aware that true love should not be based on deception and transaction. I began to reflect on my views on family and marriage, realizing that self-worth and dignity are far more important than blind love.
Although there are still wounds in my heart, I believe that with the passage of time, these wounds will eventually heal. I will take this experience with me and bravely go into the future.
