“Fu Chengyu, I spent three years paying for the crimes you imagined I’d committed. You could spend the rest of your life trying, and you still wouldn’t make amends for what you did to my art and my love.”
To save her mentor, gifted painter Su Wan is forced to sign a contract and become the “private collection” of Fu Chengyu, a wealthy CEO. He destroys her mother’s last masterpiece and snaps her paintbrush, telling her in the cruelest way possible that she is nothing but a shadow he bought to take revenge on.
Fu Chengyu is convinced that Su Wan helped cause his older brother’s death. He subjects her to the ultimate humiliation, yet on countless nights he also stares in anguish at how her style resembles that of the “enemy” he hates. When Su Wan finally turns the tables with a painting concealing a crucial secret and reveals the truth at a press conference, he realizes that he hated the wrong person and loved her in all the wrong ways.
“We’re even now.” She leaves him with those words and disappears for good.
Years later, she stands in the spotlight at the pinnacle of the international art world. He gives up his fortune of hundreds of billions just to ask whether she’ll give him another chance. Su Wan smiles, shakes her head, and boards a plane for her global art tour. The final act of atonement Fu Chengyu makes sends shock waves through both the business and art worlds...
