As a boy, Huo Xun had no father's affection or mother's love. He wore the mask of a refined gentleman, living a cold and false life, until he met Qi Chong.
When disaster struck, Qi Chong dreamed of making a fortune. She sold her house and her piano, but in the end, it was Huo Xun who reached out to help her.
Huo Xun kept Qi Chong pampered at his side. He was like a famished traveler crossing a wasteland, willing to eat anything. He knew the candied fruit was poisonous, yet reason still gave way to instinct. He drank poison to quench his thirst, and somehow relished every drop.
Later, Qi Chong disappeared. When Huo Xun saw her again, she had become a shrewd woman who knew just what to say to anyone.
Huo Xun's handsome peach-blossom eyes curved slightly. “I won't let you run away again this time.”
