Seven years ago, Su Wan cut off all contact with Gu Yan with a hasty text message, evaporating like a drop of water in the hustle and bustle of Shanghai. Seven years later, she returned as a journalist returning from overseas, trying to restart her life in this familiar yet unfamiliar city. However, fate played a trick on her. On the first day after returning to China, she met the man who had already been engraved in her bones.
Gu Yan, a former law school genius, is now a hotly sought-after top lawyer in the Shanghai legal community. He is calm, strong, distant, and is accompanied by a confidante who is his equal. At the moment of reunion, the look he cast on her was as cold as looking at an insignificant old thing.
An unavoidable exclusive interview kicked off the re-intersection of the two. Su Wan tried hard to maintain professionalism and calmness, trying to put the past behind her. However, under Gu Yan's seemingly business-like attitude, there is a bottomless undercurrent. His unexpected invitation at the cocktail party, his assistant calling her for help when she was ill, his tough obstruction and earth-shattering question on a rainy night... Every seemingly accidental collision was like throwing a huge boulder on a calm lake, setting off a stormy sea.
Does he hate her? It seems so, those cold eyes and sharp words are as sharp as a knife. Has he put her down? Why does she show an almost instinctive possessiveness and warning when other men appear around her? What has not been erased in seven years, is it hatred, or other more complex and profound emotions?
Su Wan struggled with guilt and self-control, while Gu Yan wandered between indifference and concern. What stands between them is the truth that was unspoken seven years ago, and the different life trajectories of their current lives.
