[Rekindled romance + groveling ex + male rivalry]
When she first fell in love, Zhou Wan spent three years pursuing Shen Jingyan.
He was an untouchable beauty, a prized heir of the capital's elite, and a man she could never hope to have in her lifetime.
Just as she was about to give up, he suddenly agreed to date her. Zhou Wan thought her wish had finally come true.
At the graduation banquet at Peking University, Zhou Wan arrived late. At the entrance, she overheard a cool, aristocratic voice.
“I just felt sorry for her.”
He said carelessly, “We were just seeing each other. I'm not going to marry her.” Zhou Wan fled in humiliation.
Five years passed before she returned. She was no longer the shy, naive girl she had been, but a mature, alluring woman who moved with ease through the world of wealth and fame.
She met that deep, dark gaze and casually looked away.
As if they had never known each other.
Shen Jingyan was still the same, languid and aloof.

She was a rising star, and her role forced her to attend a business dinner. She never expected that the influential person she needed to win over would be Shen Jingyan.
She smiled radiantly, seduced him without restraint, and leaned close in a suggestive way.
Shen Jingyan closed his eyes and, against his will, wrapped an arm around her slender waist.
“Zhou Wan, let's see how far you're willing to go.” Embarrassingly, Zhou Wan fled again.
The warm, soft beauty in his arms suddenly slipped away, and Shen Jingyan clicked his tongue.
The next day, Zhou Wan got the role.
Fate had turned. Now Shen Jingyan was the one whose love went unanswered.
“I don't love you anymore.”
“Then who are you going to love? Can another man give you what you want?” He offered her everything, all to win her back.
