Three years ago, in a raucous bar, Ji Wang spotted Shen Zhinan being bullied at first sight.

Under the dazzling lights, all he could see was her slender waist. One touch would be enough to leave him flustered.

Just as he’d hoped, they had a passionate college romance.

And, like every school curse, they couldn’t escape breaking up after graduation.

Three years later, Shen Zhinan had outgrown her college naivety. She wasn’t a prime-time TV host, but thanks to her bright and poised presence, her programs were always among the most popular at the station.

Her boss handed her a hot assignment.

“An interview with an industry leader. Get in touch with CEO Ji. You both went to A University, and you were the department beauty while he was the department heartthrob. You must know each other at least a little, right?”

Shen Zhinan: …We knew each other more than a little. He’s my ex.

Under the dim lights, their two figures seemed to merge. The man rested his hand on her form-fitting black dress, his palm enveloping her slender waist and forcing her to stumble toward him.

“When you wanted to get back at someone else, I was completely innocent.”

“Only after we broke up did I realize how much you mattered. You’ll have to spend at least the rest of your life making it up to me.”

Shen Zhinan’s lips felt dry. All she could meet was the deep, tender gaze in the man’s eyes.
