International jewelry designer Xu Muqing dazzled at Paris Fashion Week, but a construction project in China forced her to return to Jiangcheng, the hometown she had left seven years earlier.
She never expected the client to be her first love, Jin Beichuan, now a rising star in Jiangcheng.
Seven years ago, they had promised to build a tower together, one “where you could see the whole city and the stars,” and call it “Eye in the Clouds.”
Seven years later, he had built the tower, but had long since forgotten her.
When they met again, he extended a hand with professional courtesy. “Designer Xu, I've heard so much about you.”
She smiled and shook his hand, her nails digging into her palm.
What she didn't know was this:
Locked away in Jin Beichuan's office were all the designs she had created in college.
He remembered that she liked her milk tea half-sweet, but had forgotten they had once been in love.
After the car accident, his father had told him, “She took the money and left.”
And what he didn't know was this:
The day she dropped out and left, she waited for him at the train station all night.
Every piece of jewelry she designed held the starlight from the day they first met.
She hadn't returned to China for the project. She came back because the tower was named “Eye in the Clouds.”
Business rivalry + sweet and angsty romance + reunion after years apart + mutual unrequited love
“Jin Beichuan, you want me to design your tower, but you can't even design your own heart.”
