He was once the cherished pride of the Su family, adored by everyone. Then, overnight, he fell from grace, his family ruined and scattered. His childhood friend had been a quiet, steadfast companion, but one day he turned away, watching coldly as he took everything he wanted.
Su Yang never imagined his life could change so violently. His family business collapsed overnight, turning him from a wealthy young man in the spotlight into a bankrupt “fallen heir.” He experienced the fickleness of human nature firsthand. But the deepest wound came from the person he had trusted most: Lin Chen, the childhood friend he had grown up with and considered part of himself.
The tender protection of the past had been nothing but a carefully crafted disguise. The cold words he spoke when they fell out were the opening notes of an ever-growing ambition. At Su Yang’s most desperate moment, Lin Chen pushed him into the abyss with his own hands, leaving him certain that every bond would ultimately fall victim to self-interest.
Years later, Su Yang struggled back to his feet and tried to rebuild his life in obscurity. But fate intervened once more, bringing about a sudden “chance” reunion.
By then, he had left his past behind and was striving toward the light. Lin Chen, meanwhile, had become a dazzling, inscrutable new power in the business world, able to sway fortunes with a gesture.
He returned with guilt and deep affection, solving Su Yang’s problems and clearing every obstacle from his path. He repaid him many times over for the tenderness he had “lost” years ago. He wove a web called “atonement” and “old love,” delicate, soft, and everywhere.
The happy ending of their rekindled romance seemed just within reach.
