Jiang Ruan had an incredibly vivid dream. In it, she had a secret crush on Pei Yan, but knew she wasn't good enough for him. So she cut herself off from the outside world and deluded herself into spending her whole life single.
When she woke up, she was terrified. Was she really going to waste her whole life like that?
Why not... give it a try?
She went to a banquet at the Pei residence. Seeing him drenched in cold sweat as the effects of a drug tormented him, she acted on impulse and rushed over.
After a night of intimacy, he took responsibility for her, but that was all it was: responsibility. She finally understood that maybe the fate she'd seen in her dream was the right one. A forcibly picked melon isn't sweet, and she shouldn't try to change their destinies.
She finally came to terms with everything and let go, then asked for a divorce. Of course, she wasn't going to spend her whole life secretly pining for him like she had in the dream. In the real world, she would live for herself and her family.
Who could have guessed what happened later...
Everyone saw the ever-aloof heir to the Pei family blocking the entrance to her studio.
“Jiang Ruan, you flirt with me and then run away? What do you take me for?”
She had spent half her life chasing after him.
This time, he was the one willing to humble himself and stake everything, slowly coaxing her back to him.
