The first time Li Xiuren meets Ling Xia, she is a mortician repairing the body of his childhood friend.
The second time, on the set of a production featuring the star he keeps, she is the special-effects makeup artist for a web movie.
The third time, he sees her being mocked and humiliated by a partner who has climbed the social ladder, and he steps in to smooth things over.
Three strikes, and he hands Ling Xia his private business card. “Spend six months with me, and you’ll earn what would take you ten years of hard work. Interested?”
Late that night, Ling Xia calls him back, but the first thing she says is, “Mr. Li, I’m not a virgin. Does that bother you?”
Li Xiuren gives a scornful laugh. “We’re all adults. Don’t pretend to be innocent. I’m not interested in that act. Here’s one thing you should understand: this is a business arrangement. Don’t take it seriously.”
Ling Xia says, “All right.”
Later on,
he’s the one who struggles, and he’s the one who can’t let go.
When Ling Xia leaves him without hesitation,
and a ten-year-old genius girl goes to any lengths to oppose him, only then does Li Xiuren realize that the first woman in his life, on that night when he was eighteen, was Ling Xia!
The night Li Xiuren had regarded as a lifelong disgrace was, to Ling Xia, an unbearable pain and a nightmare she could not bear to remember.
The past, long buried, is brought to light.
Li Xiuren knows that whether now or ten years ago, he was destined to suffer a fate worse than death.
