[A refined, celibate archaeology professor × a perceptive, flirtatious actress]
After being involved with the wrong man, Rong Jiuyan was exposed and condemned across the internet. Haters called her a homewrecker who broke up a family and told her to get out of show business. Her company shelved her, putting a stop to all her activities and work.
But she used that time to improve herself and got into the university she had always dreamed of attending, Western University.
On campus, a deranged fan pursued her and tried to kiss her by force. Terrified, she ran around looking for somewhere to hide and accidentally ducked into the men’s restroom.
Song Yanshi was Western University’s youngest archaeology professor: accomplished, aloof, and celibate.
As he was using the restroom, Rong Jiuyan blundered in. Their eyes met, and the scene was so awkward it could have killed them.

She thought it was just a brief episode in her life, but when they met again two years later, Rong Jiuyan was in an even worse situation than before.
At a dinner with powerful financiers, she was drunk and still expected to dance for their entertainment.
Song Yanshi, who had barely spoken all evening, frowned and snapped at the financier, “Have you never seen someone dance before? If you want to watch, go home and make your wife dance for you!”
His tone was impatient. She thought he simply couldn’t stand the way those powerful men were bullying her.

It wasn’t until Rong Jiuyan got hurt and Song Yanshi carried her to the hospital in full view of everyone that she understood.
Overwhelmed with gratitude, she offered to treat him to a meal.
Song Yanshi flicked his sleeve and chuckled. “I’ve saved you three times, and all you want to do is buy me dinner?”
“Then what do you want?”
“To repay a life-saving favor, you have to give yourself to me.”
