The first time Shen Hua met Gu Erye, he had just left a drinking party he couldn't get out of.
Rubbing his temples, he glanced casually down the hallway and spotted Shen Hua in the private room next door.
At the time, Shen Hua was making a toast, her face flushed as she held up her glass with the grim resolve of someone going to her death.
Gu Erye was dazzled at first sight. At second glance, he shook his head, finding her amusing.
She was beautiful, but unfortunately a fool. With all those predatory eyes fixed on her at the table, she was probably done for.
His kind heart got the better of him, and he decided to intervene, applying pressure behind the scenes without anyone knowing and asking for nothing in return.
Afterward, he secretly congratulated himself. What a good person he was.
Later, as he paid more and more attention to Shen Hua, he gave it some serious thought and decided she ought to know.
Later still, though he and Shen Hua had yet to have anything to do with each other, he gritted his teeth in frustration. He wanted something in return!
At last, years later, he rescued her once again...
Shen Hua woke from another nightmare, her bleak, gray past weighing heavily upon her.
As always, the numbness in her limbs would not fade until dawn was near.
She stared at the ceiling, gazing at the fate she could not escape.
She never expected...
“Shen Hua! Shen Hua!” She heard fate calling out to her.
Gu Erye: “Maybe you and I were destined to meet.”
