At her eighteenth birthday party, Lin Wan falls in love with Lu Tingchen at first sight. He is a legend in the business world, a partner her father admires, and a light she has always gazed up at from afar. But that light seems to shine on her older sister, Lin Shu, first: the gentle, perfect adopted daughter who is always more “sensible” than she is.
She once thought that if she were brave enough, she could get closer to him. Then she saw the photos of her sister filling his phone. Then she heard him say, “Could you stop comparing yourself to her all the time?” And then, at the airport, she sent the message, “Lu Tingchen, I don’t want you anymore,” only for it to remain forever marked “Failed to send.”
Five years later, Lu Tingchen encounters a woman codenamed “Evening Breeze” in a transnational case file. She is cool, sharp, and impossible to read: an international criminal police officer, a top appraiser, and a mysterious hacker. When she looks at him, her eyes are utterly calm, and she addresses him with businesslike formality as “Mr. Lu.”
He has no idea that she is Lin Wan, the woman he lost.
He has even less idea how many times she walked through hell over the past five years to forge this armor, impervious to bullets and blades.
“Later, everyone in the capital’s inner circle knew that Lord Lu was chasing after a woman like a madman.”
“But only Lin Wan knew that what he had lost was never her. It was the version of himself who had once dared to love her with his whole heart.”
“And now, she doesn’t want him anymore.”
