[Reunion after years apart + rekindled love + regretful pursuit + powerful man humbled by love + devoted to each other]
Shen Yi went with her boss to pick someone up at the airport, never expecting that the person they were meeting would be her ex-boyfriend, whom she hadn’t seen in five years.
Qi Nanxiao’s gaze swept over her, cold and distant.
Her boss linked arms with Qi Nanxiao and asked with a smile, “Do you know Shen Yi?”
His familiar, cool voice replied, “No.”
Shen Yi clenched her palm and gave a self-mocking smile.
That was right. They should never have known each other in the first place.

Back in their student days, Qi Nanxiao and Shen Yi had been worlds apart.
He was the pampered heir to a wealthy family, while she was a poor university student struggling to make ends meet.
The two should never have crossed paths, but a game brought them together, and they started dating.
Everyone bet their romance wouldn’t last a week.
But they stayed together for a full three years.
Until Shen Yi overheard Qi Nanxiao casually say, “It was just for fun. Did she really think I’d marry her?”
Shen Yi finally faced reality and vanished from his world for good.
When they met again, Shen Yi tried to keep her distance, but he kept closing in.
After she got out of her blind date’s car, a man grabbed her wrist tightly.
Qi Nanxiao pinned her against the wall, eyes bloodshot as he demanded:
“You got out of my bed last night, and today you’re looking for another man?”
Shen Yi replied lightly, “It was just for fun.”
Qi Nanxiao kissed her fiercely. “If you want to play, then let’s play for the rest of our lives, okay?”
She called him crazy, but he didn’t deny it.
After all, through the more than eighteen hundred nights and days they’d been apart, he had been lovesick for her.
The most pitiful thing is the heroine. She takes all the blame.
The plot is very compact, but a bit sadistic [laughs awkwardly]
