Three years ago, Jiang Yubai was the spoiled young heir of the Jiang Group. He was carefree and irreverent, yet somehow fell for the ordinary girl Lin Weiyan. When they first met in the library, his teasing gaze made her heart skip a beat. By the lakeside, he confessed with a soda-can tab in his hand, making a passionate promise. She thought their love could bridge the gulf between poverty and wealth, but just before graduation, he turned away with icy indifference and crushed all her dreams.
Five years later, Lin Weiyan was struggling to find a job, while Jiang Yubai had become the head of Qiyan Tech. When they met again at a corner café, he still wore that same nonchalant expression, as if their love and his cruel departure had both been nothing but her imagination.
She clung to her hatred, yet memories tore at her every night. He had tucked her hands into his pockets on a bitter winter day, waited until late at night outside the street where she worked part-time, and whispered in her ear, “The world is mine. You can come into it whenever you want.”
As the truth slowly emerged with time, she finally realized that what had stood between them had never been their different social backgrounds. It had been a carefully orchestrated missed connection.
Could the pain he had hidden and the hatred she had held onto come together in the warmth of their reunion to complete the picture?
