He is the powerful, iron-willed crown prince of the capital; she is a fallen heiress, struggling to carry on after her family’s decline.
He returns with hatred and a love that has never died. She carries fear and a past love she cannot erase, and tries to escape him.
Entangled in resentment, jealousy, business warfare, and family schemes, they are forced to face each other again, unravel the misunderstanding from years ago, and rekindle their love as they fight their enemies together.
Zhong Yaoyao: “If I’d known things would end this way, I wouldn’t have met you, let alone fallen in love with you...”
Li Shunchen: “Zhong Yaoyao, you have no heart! I finally became the man you wanted me to be, so why do you still refuse to have me? ...Do you know that if the man I am now had been the man I was back then, if I’d just spoken to you properly that day... we wouldn’t have lost these five years. More than eighteen hundred days and nights without you. Apart from driving myself to become stronger, I spent every day thinking of you and hating you, but hating myself even more... Why did it take me so long to become the harbor you needed...”
Li Shunchen: “There has never been anyone else! It was you at the start, and it’s still you in the end! It’s always been you!”
