Once upon a time, in a small village nestled among rolling hills, lived a young woman named Mei. She was known throughout the village for her kindness and beauty. One day, a handsome stranger named Jian arrived, captivating Mei with his charming words and promises of eternal love. Jian swore his devotion, painting vivid pictures of a life filled with happiness and prosperity. Mei, deeply in love, readily accepted his proposals, believing his every word. They were married in a joyous ceremony, surrounded by friends and family. For a time, their life together was blissful. But Jian's promises began to fade like a distant memory. His charm wore off, revealing a selfish and irresponsible nature. He neglected his responsibilities, squandering their resources and ultimately leaving Mei heartbroken and alone. Mei, devastated but resilient, learned a valuable lesson: actions speak louder than words. While Jian's vows may have seemed sincere, his lack of integrity revealed the true nature of his character, a stark contrast to his initial信誓旦旦(xìnshìdàndàn).
