A romance about an ordinary-minded college graduate entering the workforce and navigating city life. Not a story about someone blinded by love, and not one that piles on angst for its own sake.
It has plenty of melodrama: workplace bullying, a cherished first love, a substitute, and a desperate pursuit to win a wife back.
Gu Qingyan discovers that she's not just a substitute: she's not even good enough to be one! She's merely a plaything Nie Yu won in a bet!
Everything is a lie. Only the pain is real!
To hell with this wretched love!
A game of balancing numbers has gone horribly wrong, and love has become a curve of regret!
How can she save herself?
The scumbag says, "I'm sorry. I love you."
Gu Qingyan scoffs. Passion that comes too late is worth less than grass.
Who is the true beloved, after all?
