[Down-and-out heiress + aloof, devoted campus heartthrob]
[Rekindled romance + reunion after years apart + desperate pursuit + powerful man bows his head]
When her son gets into a fight at kindergarten, Jiang Nong goes to deal with it, only to find that the other child’s parent is the boyfriend she hasn’t seen in years.
Over six years, she has fallen from being Meng Chuxue, the adored little princess of the wealthiest family in Nancheng, to a badly burned woman with a hoarse voice, scraping by as a maid and dancer at the bottom of society.
He, meanwhile, has become the CEO of a famous Wall Street investment bank.
He doesn’t recognize her, and he has no idea she secretly gave birth to his son.
In her first year of college, Jiang Nong fell in love at first sight with Lu Shiye, the aloof senior who was about to graduate. She did everything she could to bring him down from his lofty pedestal and into the earthly realm, until he became her boyfriend.
Then she overheard him sneer to his childhood friend, “She’s just a stand-in who threw herself at me. She’s not good enough.”
Proud as a peacock, she ended their bitter relationship and angrily accepted another boy’s confession.
Six years later, Jiang Nong is disheveled and down on her luck, her face badly burned. She tries desperately to cut all ties with Lu Shiye, but he keeps closing in until he pins her against a wall and kisses her passionately. “Chuxue, no matter what you look like, you’ll always be the love of my life.”
Jiang Nong pushes him away, but he clings to her and begs in a humble voice:
“I’m willing to be your useful lackey, and your son’s stepdad. I’ll give you my heart and my life. Will you let me?”
