[Cool, graceful top student × Arrogant, sharp-tongued Jiangnan heir]
[Redemption + Reconciliation after heartbreak + Childhood sweethearts + Top students + Wealthy families]
Lin Jiayin was known at Shanghai's international school as an untouchable beauty: aloof and distant, sneaking over walls, cutting class, and arriving late, yet still ranking first in her class. Her beauty made others jealous enough to ostracize her. No one knew that after school every day, she worked at a shabby wonton shop. Even fewer knew the scar on the back of her hand was left when she protected the grandmother who was all she had.
Then one morning, she climbed over a wall and knocked over Sheng Yanzhou's chemistry trophy.
The famously unruly heir to the Sheng family stared at the scar on her hand, his expression dark. “Does it hurt?”
She answered coolly, “I forgot about it a long time ago.” She had no idea that he would lie awake all night, blaming himself.
She avoided him, but once he learned the truth, he announced in front of the whole school, “Lin Jiayin's business is my business.”
Shen Yanzhou kicked down the ringleader. “You want to touch her? Did you ask me first?”
But she still abandoned him, without mercy, without a trace of feeling...
Ten years later, they meet again. He is a rising star in the business world, and she is a Chinese medicine doctor.
He should have taken revenge.
He should have let her know what it felt like to be abandoned.
Yet the moment he saw her standing in the rain, he held an umbrella over her once more.
“Lin Jiayin,” he said, brushing his thumb over her bitten lip. “You think you can get away?”

“He spent ten years building a wall, only to crumble before her.”
