A Collection of Our Youthful Years

On a winter night in the twelfth lunar month, she comes across a group cornering someone in an alley. A single strand of hair gets caught on the obsidian button of a mysterious young man named Jiang Yichen, drawing her into a conspiracy that has been unfolding for ten years. The button holds the secrets behind Jiang Yichen's family hunting him down, the mystery of her father Lin Zhiyuan's disappearance, and the truth about a laboratory accident ten years ago.

From being forced to live together in a villa to uncovering coded clues in a library, from maneuvering among double agents to discovering the secrets hidden in gene sequences, the two piece together the truth as they flee: the button contains special genetic information, both the key to curing a hereditary disease and a tool for the villain's revenge. As the chip hidden in a strand of hair, the symbols on a note, and the dates in a calculator are unlocked one by one, Lin Xiaoman realizes that she has inherited more than her father's stubbornness: she also holds a key capable of turning everything upside down. Behind the sharp-tongued young master's cold demeanor lies a tenderness devoted to protecting and redeeming her.
