Five years ago, she left without a word, vanishing as if she had never existed, leaving behind only a letter.
Five years later, they meet again at a bidding conference. He is the powerful client and CEO; she is the designer on the bidding side, fighting for her dream.
Over the course of five years, Su Wan has transformed from a timid intern into the founder of an independent landscape design studio. She returns to Shanghai with everything she owns and a heart sealed away, determined to carve out a place for herself in a man's world. But fate has other plans. At the critical turning point in her career, the person sitting on the judging panel, holding her fate in his hands, is none other than her ex-boyfriend, Fu Jingshen, the man she left without a word all those years ago.
Fu Jingshen, heir to the Fu Group, is composed and formidable, a leading figure in Shanghai's business world. The woman's decisive departure five years ago was the only defeat in his perfect life, and the one wound no one was allowed to touch. When they meet again, he looks at her with eyes as cold as a blade. Beneath his strictly businesslike tone, however, churns a tide of emotion only he can feel.
The workplace is a battlefield, and love is a game of chess.
He imposes harsh conditions, binding her tightly to the project. Is he simply being businesslike, or deliberately seeking revenge?
She gives it her all, proving herself through her professional abilities. Is she trying to draw a clear line, or make amends?
As they clash over projects and compete in the workplace, the misunderstandings and truth from five years ago gradually come to light. They thought time could smooth everything over, only to discover that their buried feelings had never faded. But what stands between them is not only the pain of the past, but also the gap between their circumstances, schemes in the business world, and the pride neither is willing to let go.
