[A clear-eyed heroine with a hard, painful life + a deeply devoted, obsessive hero always ready to take her from someone else. Reunited after years apart, his long road to winning her back begins.]
Her mother favored sons over daughters, leaving Shen Qiyun with more than twenty years of hardship and heartache. Passed from one relative’s home to another, she endured cold shoulders and endless grievances. Struggling just to survive, she had long since forgotten the boy who once kept her company.
When they meet again, he is a wealthy young heir, the group’s successor, and her boss. She is an employee at his company, still trapped in the mire of daily life. He recognizes her at once, but she doesn’t recognize him. When he approaches, all she wants is to keep as far away from him as possible.
He watches her break up and fall in love again, yet never gets the chance to take someone else’s place. He values her above his own life, but he can never claim a place by her side, as if he were crawling through the dark. If gentleness and good manners don’t work, perhaps he should try another approach...
The novels written by the author are all very good.
