[Ex-Chase, Dark and Possessive Swimming Champion vs. Cool, Iceberg-Like Prime-Time Host] Wen Yan is the star host of the national sports network’s prime-time broadcast. She shines brilliantly on camera, but no one knows that the deepest wound in her heart dates back to a noisy summer filled with cicadas, on the eve of the college entrance exams ten years ago. Pei Yuan’an, the swimming prodigy who constantly challenged her and was also her first love, vanished as if he had evaporated into thin air. He left without a word, leaving her with nothing but heart-rending despair.
Ten years later, Pei Yuan’an returns as a global swimming superstar and the newly crowned world-record holder in the butterfly. Adorned with countless accolades, he makes a surprise appearance on Wen Yan’s live interview show. Their polite composure freezes in an instant. He is no longer the brash boy he once was. His deep-set eyes now hold the confidence of a man in control of everything, along with undisguised aggression.
Their reunion is fate, but it is also a hunt he has carefully planned.
Backstage after the live broadcast, he deliberately brushes his damp fingers over her cool neck. At the reception after an awards ceremony, he corners her on an empty terrace and murmurs heatedly, “Host Wen, what are you running from?” Outside the locker room, he uses his height to box her into a corner, his eyes dark as he declares, “Yanyan, I’ll spend the rest of my life making up for the explanation I owed you ten years ago. Will that be enough?”
Wen Yan calmly counters Pei Yuan’an’s advances, trying to bring everything back onto professional ground. But the instinctive tremble of her body and the feelings long buried in her heart silently signal the danger of falling for him.
In this pursuit, where schemes and sincerity intertwine, will Pei Yuan’an break through the ice and draw the cool moonlight into his arms? Or can Wen Yan hold her ground and make the swimming champion taste defeat once again?
