On a rainy night in Nancheng, he was the old dream she had fled in a panic. Now they had met again, and he had become the neighbor just next door and the boss she couldn’t escape.
“I’m here to collect what you owe me.”
“Mr. Zhou, we settled everything a long time ago.”
"Breaking up and getting back together × relentless pursuit × two strong-willed leads × intense tension"
Jiang Yuan thought that if she left the city where he lived, she could bury that obscure first love that had gone nowhere.
She tried to live a peaceful life, but memories always tore at her in the dead of night. The young man she had once looked up to humbly, the one she had fled in a panic, was a wound in her heart that would never heal.
Then, in a torrential downpour, he cornered her beneath the eaves. His gaze was still proud and arrogant, and his tone brooked no argument. “Get in the car.”
After that, he forced his way into her life.
Her next-door neighbor was him, and the CEO of the client company on her project was also him.
He seemed to press her at every turn, making things difficult and never sparing his sharp tongue. “Editor Jiang, is this really the best you can do?”
Yet when she worked late, he would “happen” to leave her some warm congee. When someone gave her a hard time, he would say carelessly, “She’s mine. It’s not for anyone else to lecture her.”

Zhou Chengci never imagined that one day he would act like a madman, using every means at his disposal just to bring a woman back into his territory.
Back then, she had said, “I’m not good enough for you,” and disappeared without a word, making him the laughingstock of the whole school.
Now that they had met again, she was still cool and distant, treating him like a plague.
But he was determined to tear down her composure.
