On the day of the National Figure Skating Pairs Championship, my fiancé suddenly called off our engagement, refusing to compete with me, and proposed to my best friend instead.
I was pushed to the ground by the heckling competitors around me, and the sharp ice skate instantly severed my Achilles tendon.
From that moment on, I could no longer dance on ice, and even standing became a struggle.
Meanwhile, my best friend took my place and passionately kissed my ex-fiancé after they won the championship together.
I lay on the ground like a dog when my phone buzzed with a message from the hospital.
My mother, who had watched everything unfold on the live broadcast, suffered a heart attack from the shock and died on the spot.
In my moment of despair, my childhood sweetheart Caelan ran down from the stands and rushed me to the hospital without hesitation.
He confessed his feelings for me in front of my mother's memorial photo, vowing to protect me for the rest of our lives.
On our third wedding anniversary, I accidentally overheard him talking to the coach:
"Actually, with your background, you could have easily handed the championship to Melody back then. Why did you have to arrange for someone to deliberately cut Aria's tendon?"
Caelan's eyes were filled with tenderness:
"Public opinion can be cruel. How could I bear to let rumors and gossip tarnish Melody's name?"
"I can't marry her, but I will definitely clear the obstacles for her!"

I am the Ice Skating Champion

While some may show you unwavering gentleness for years, they've actually pushed you into hell long ago.


Caelan and I were childhood friends, and later we both joined the national team as pairs figure skaters.


Pairs figure skating requires one man and one woman, and Orion and I were not only partners on the ice but also engaged to be married.


Back then, everyone had found their partners except Caelan, because he couldn't be satisfied with anyone.


I tried to persuade him many times not to be so picky, saying it wasn't like he was looking for a girlfriend. He'd just smile, pat my head, and say he understood, but then he'd go right back to doing things his own way. In the end, he was left alone.


Until the day Melody joined the team, and the coach suggested she pair up with Caelan. This time, Caelan didn't refuse.


I thought he had finally come around, so I didn't think much of it.
