My Online Romance Went Wrong, and Now the Big Shot from Beijing's Elite Circle Regrets It

When I was working as an assistant for intangible cultural heritage in a small city, I started dating a wealthy heir studying for his doctorate in Kyoto online.

I counted down the days until we could meet, but when my makeup went wrong during a video call, I scared him off.

On the third day of his avoidance, I tore up the train ticket I’d saved up to buy.

Years later, he became a rising tech tycoon, and his assistant handed him a strange report:

“Mr. Shen, all the embroidery factories you’ve acquired over the years… are operating at a loss.”

He ran his fingers over a fragment of a yellowed train ticket. “A loss? That ticket is what I owe her.”

She didn’t know that on the night my laboratory exploded, the voice message on repeat on my phone was the only one of hers I hadn’t deleted.

He didn’t know that when he finally turned back and tried to reclaim the happiness they once had, it was already too late…

Shen Zhiyuan: Lin Wan, forgive me. Give me another chance… just one chance to compete fairly! Just one…

Gu Yubai: Wanwan, I’m jealous. I need you to comfort me, with kisses!

An Jianyi: Nothing matters more than Lin Wan. Lin Wan and I are best friends in the whole world… Mm, you jerk, don’t come any closer!

Tang Yuyan: Shen Zhiyuan, I’m done chasing you. Yiyi, wait for me, I’m coming to join you all…

Lin Wan: …Everything’s a mess now. Why don’t you all just go your separate ways?

Everyone, this is a real groveling romance! You won’t regret getting invested!
