Peace Behind the Door

Synopsis

The night before our engagement, Xia Wenzhou shoved a bloodstained high heel into my hand and told me to take the blame for his first love Su Mian's drunk-driving crash. The car was registered to me, he said. My family had money and lawyers. Even a few years in prison would be more comfortable for me. I looked at the size-thirty-six shoe, then at my own size-seven flats. Apparently, being born rich was no protection against being an idiot. The bloody shoe, the luxury car, and the first love sobbing herself breathless looked like a crime-scene reenactment on a shoestring budget. He kept urging me. Her pleading sounded as though she might stop breathing any second. I rolled my eyes and pointed at him. “You! If you love her so much, take the blame yourself. Don't want to?” Then I pointed at her. “And you! Stop wailing at me like someone died. Do you two seriously think everyone else is an idiot?”
