When Old Flames Reunite

[Urban Romance! Sci-Fi Business Rivalry! Mystery and Deduction! Two Strong Leads! Angsty Romance! Rekindled Love! Beautiful, Strong, and Tragic! Redemption!] She was once the only light in his dark youth, but ten years ago, she went out without warning and disappeared. Ten years later, Jiang Shuying is a coolheaded, sharp-tongued divorce lawyer at a renowned Shanghai firm. She believes that “love is the most unreliable contract in the world.” She buried her past and built a wall around her heart, expertly handling other people's emotional wreckage while never touching her own. On an ordinary workday, her assistant tells her an important client has arrived. The moment she opens the conference room door, a figure etched into her very bones appears before her without warning: Zhou Lin. He's shed the awkwardness of youth, and now carries the piercing authority and refined air of a man long accustomed to being in charge. Yet his gaze is so complicated it makes her heart ache. More ironically still, the case he's brought in is a prenuptial agreement for his celebrated “fiancee.” He looks at her professional expression, a faint, inscrutable smile on his lips. “Lawyer Jiang, I'll leave my happiness in your hands?” Faced with the man who once broke her heart and has now appeared with a “fiancee,” Jiang Shuying's professionalism is on the verge of collapse. She tries to shield herself with cold legal clauses, but under his relentless probing and the faint traces of their past, she retreats step by step. As the long-buried truth is gradually revealed, she realizes that his “disappearance” ten years ago was a cruel act of protection in the name of love. Now, bearing a body full of scars and a carefully plotted “revenge,” he has forcefully barged back into her life, determined to reclaim the one person who was his only light. Reuniting with an old love: a joke played by fate.
