Synopsis

Both virgins / Strong leads / Rekindled love / CEO romance / The chase after the breakup / Suspense

[The pursuer seems black but is actually pure / The pursued seems pure but is actually black]

Li Yuan, the kept lover Zhou Yaoqin had supported for ten years, suddenly wanted to break up with him.

Not only did he want to break up, he even wanted to be there for Zhou Yaoqin in his old age and at his funeral. Zhou was so furious he felt his insides give out and flames shoot from his head.

So what if he'd seen me on a blind date with someone else? It was just an act. Was that really worth getting upset over?

Anger surged through him.

But then he thought it over. Ten years together: was Li Yuan using a breakup to test him?

He could humor him a little, if it would make him happy.

Fine, he'd soothe him.

Who knew that his usually sweet and pliant kept lover could be so stubborn? It looked like he'd made up his mind to break up.

On the surface, it seems like a passionate lover has been betrayed. But the playboy's act is really meant to protect Li Yuan and keep him out of danger. The one who appears to have been betrayed actually has something more important to do and doesn't want to drag Zhou Yaoqin into it.

They both put on an act, each with their own agenda, wearing the guise of indifference while doing the most devoted things for each other.
