(There was a little too much buildup at the beginning, sob.)
When they first met, she was like a celestial being, untouched by the mundane world. Ji Chuan was always torn. He wanted to drag this girl, whom everyone adored, down to earth, to roll in the mud with him until it covered them both. At the same time, he wanted to keep his distance from her, farther and farther away.
When they met again, it was hard to say who had first made a move... She was a lively young woman, and he was a boy experiencing his first stirrings of love. Ji Chuan thought that since she had drawn him in, he wasn't going to let go.
It was only later that Ji Chuan understood their relationship had always been on Qin Huan's terms. There was nothing he could do but climb higher, one step at a time, using every scheme and tactic he could in the business world, all so he could stand by her side...
And then Qin Huan came back. The two seemed just as they had before, but neither of them was the same person anymore...
It gets better the more you watch it.
Um 😓, the male lead must be impure, right? I don't understand why such a powerful female lead is paired with a male lead who's even less pure than her.
