I'm Ye Mufu, an airport tower controller. My life was ordinary until three years ago when I met Huo Boyan, a pilot. Little did I know that this encounter would plunge me into a whirlwind of emotions and heartbreak.

Our relationship began as a secret affair. For three years, I was by his side, sharing his bed, but I was never truly his girlfriend. I was just a substitute, a placeholder for his beloved Ye Qingrong, who had left him. I knew this, yet I couldn't help but fall deeper in love with him. I loved him with all my heart, even though I was constantly walking on thin ice, afraid that our fragile relationship would shatter at any moment.

One fateful night, Huo Boyan returned home late. I noticed a lipstick mark on his collar, and my heart sank. But I chose to remain silent, as I always did, pretending not to see it. I knew I had no right to question him. Then, he dropped a bombshell - Ye Qingrong was back, and I had to move out. He bought me an apartment near the airport, as if that could make up for the pain he was causing me. I was devastated, but I couldn't show it. I had to be strong, at least in front of him.

The next day at work, I heard his voice on the radio as he guided his plane to land. My heart skipped a beat, even though I knew I should be angry with him. Later, I discovered that Ye Qingrong was not only back but also his fiancee. They had been in love for seven years, and I felt like a complete fool. I had wasted three years of my life on a man who never truly loved me. I was nothing more than a plaything to him, a distraction while his sweetheart was away.

My pain only deepened when I got sick. I had a severe stomachache, and I couldn't find my medicine. In a moment of desperation, I called Huo Boyan, only to hear Ye Qingrong's voice on the other end. She didn't even know who I was, and it was clear that I didn't have a place in Huo Boyan's life, not even in his phone contacts. It was a harsh reminder of how little I meant to him.

Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse, Huo Boyan showed up at my apartment. He accused me of being with another man and forced himself on me. His words were like daggers, stabbing at my heart. He told me that all he could give me was physical intimacy and that I should forget about having a real relationship with him. I was sobbing, feeling completely broken. I wanted to hate him, but the love I had for him was still there, buried deep inside me.

After that night, I decided I had to get away. I couldn't keep living like this, constantly being hurt by him. I asked for leave from work and started looking for a new place to live. I wanted to move to a place where he couldn't find me, a place where I could start over and try to forget about him. But just as I was about to start my new life, Ye Qingrong contacted me.

She met me at a cafe and thanked me for "taking care of" Huo Boyan. She then warned me not to pester him anymore, as she was going to marry him soon. I was angry, but I tried to stay calm. I told her I had no intention of interfering in their lives. But then, she dropped another bombshell - my mother wanted to see me. I knew that my birthday was coming up, and it was always a painful reminder of my father's death. My mother had always blamed me for his death, and I knew that going home would only bring more pain.

I went to my family home on my birthday, dreading what awaited me. As soon as I entered, my mother started throwing things at me and calling me a jinx. She forced me to kneel in front of my father's portrait and kowtow to make atonement. Ye Qingrong watched, pretending to be concerned, but I knew she was enjoying my suffering. My mother's abuse continued, and I was hit with a glass of hot water. I was in pain, both physically and emotionally.

After hours of torture, Ye Qingrong finally let me leave. She offered to give me a ride, but I refused. I didn't want to hear about her and Huo Boyan's happiness. I just wanted to be alone. As I was trying to find a way to get home, I received a text message asking why I had quit my job. I was at a loss, my life in shambles.

This is my story - a story of love, betrayal, and heartbreak. I thought I had found love with Huo Boyan, but it turned out to be a cruel illusion. Now, I'm left to pick up the pieces of my broken heart and try to find a way to move on. Will I be able to forget about him and start a new life? Or will the memories of our past continue to haunt me forever? Only time will tell.
