A ruthless, widower-like man in power × a resilient, gentle avenger
The bullying of her friends and pressure from her family drove Shen Qingyan to leave without a word.
Ji Qiyuan, her lover, believed she had abandoned him when he was at his lowest. Consumed by hatred, he vowed to tear the traitor who had betrayed him limb from limb.
Five years later, they met again. Everyone was looking forward to seeing Shen Qingyan suffer, but they were left disappointed.
Even though there were countless suspicious details about Shen Qingyan's return and her attempts to get close, and even though his friends did everything they could to warn Ji Qiyuan not to make the same mistake again, he had searched for her for years and was finally reunited with her. Even if she was plotting against him and using him, he was perfectly willing to go along with it.
Reuniting with Shen Qingyan was the wish Ji Qiyuan had held onto all his life.
He hated Shen Qingyan because hate lasted longer than love.
Ji Qiyuan knew perfectly well that getting close to Shen Qingyan meant getting closer to pain, but staying away from her meant turning his back on happiness.
But Shen Qingyan's return to the place where it all began was both revenge and atonement.
