Synopsis

[Redemption x Rekindled Love x Reunion After Years Apart x Mutual Obsession]

Content warnings: The heroine is a yandere with a weak moral compass. Neither lead remains faithful later in the story, and the hero acts like a jerk for much of the middle. Please don't read if this bothers you.

At a New York party when she was fourteen, Song Jinyue met Ling Yuchen for the first time. Her mother called her "useless," and she was huddled in a corner. Yet he insisted on approaching her, offered her hot chocolate, and softly asked, "Does it hurt?"

When she stood in despair on the hospital rooftop, he carried her down and kissed her brow and eyes. "You're not useless. You're one of a kind, Heloise. You're my Jinyue, the best there is." Only he would say that.

From New York to Los Angeles and then London, they loved each other for eleven years. He stayed with her through sleepless nights, healed her with the winds of the Swiss mountains, and bet his future on her. She stood by him through hard times, helped him escape his parents' shadow, and watched him rise from the top student in finance to a rising star in investment banking. She, too, grew from a girl everyone despised into an architect.

But a drowning person can't survive on a straw alone. In their second year in London, after the first snow of winter, they broke up.

She endured seven years on her own, obsessively drawing designs, becoming her mother's pride and turning into the very people she once hated. He continued along his path to success, becoming the youngest managing partner in investment banking.

Seven years later, they met again in Los Angeles. She recognized him at a glance, but he was already married. On Santa Monica Beach, the sea breeze tousled her hair as she stared at him. "I'm not a moral person. I've never failed to get what I want."

In the dim light, his eyes reddened and his fingertips trembled. "Jinyue, I can't live without you."
