At first: An upbeat, cheerful girl vs. a cold, sharp-tongued heartthrob
Later: A gloomy, reserved painter vs. a clingy, jealous business upstart
From the first time I saw you, I knew I liked you. Even if you pushed me away a thousand times, I'd still treat you the same as ever.
That was what Xu Mo heard at the beginning. He once thought Cheng Nian's words were a childish promise, never imagining they would become the one thing he could cling to when trying to make her stay.
Taking her affection for granted, he bullied Cheng Nian without restraint. Only later, when he was young and ignorant, did he realize that her feelings were a sign of love. He began to regret what he'd done.
He regretted realizing it too late, and regretted discovering his feelings too late. When he finally came to his senses, Cheng Nian was no longer by his side.
Later, he carved her once-joking words into his bones and his life, carrying this extraordinary love with him.
He never gave up searching for her.
One day, many years later, they finally meet again. By then, all Xu Mo wants is to stubbornly keep Cheng Nian by his side.
