Only Fond of You

After being framed by her stepmother and sister, her father was on the verge of death and she was forced to marry an old man in his seventies.
He loved her deeply, but he also hated her to the bone because she married his father and killed his mother.
He tormented her to the extreme, but the moment she resolutely left, he learned that his love for her was already beyond cure.
They were separated by life and death, and his deepest regret couldn't be erased.
When they met again, she had fallen in love with someone else.
Can you give me a chance to atone for my sins? he asked.
She said, We've already broken off all ties.
Is it really impossible to start over?
He believed that he would be able to do it.
