Second chance romance, reunion after years apart, mutual healing.
In their second year of high school, Lin Qian and Xie Chen met. She was a quiet, gentle transfer student who was used to being alone; he was a taciturn boy who was used to enduring everything in silence.
She thought her life would follow its usual course, but before she knew it, Xie Chen had entered her world.
They fell for each other in secret, quietly drew closer, and clung to the warmth they found in one another. But in the end, they couldn't overcome reality. After the college entrance exams, Lin Qian was sent abroad, while Xie Chen was forced to take over the family business. From then on, they were worlds apart.
Years later, Lin Qian returned to China and started a new job. An unexpected collaboration brought her face-to-face with Xie Chen in a conference room.
The man had shed the sharp edges of his youth. His gaze was calm and reserved, but when he looked at her, it still held a long-suppressed obsession.
Lin Qian knew she should stay away, but Xie Chen kept closing in. Away from everyone else's eyes, he trapped her at his side. “Lin Qian, trying to run?”
He let out a low, hoarse laugh, his voice obsessive and cold. “Let's see how you hide from me this time.”
