When they first meet, he is an exceptionally talented design student, domineering and arrogant, while she is a cafeteria “auntie” whose life revolves around the kitchen and the market. A series of mishaps brings them from strangers to intimacy, and they gradually discover that each is far more compelling than they first appeared.
When they break up, he sees her for what he believes she really is: a lying, masterful actress and a materialistic woman who only cares about money. Bound by a secret, she has no choice but to deny that she ever truly loved him. “I’m the one who doesn’t want you anymore. Five hundred thousand is worth far more than you.” Their relationship ends for good, and they embark on a bitter journey of love and hate.
When they meet again, he is the head of a leading jewelry company, successful in both love and business. She, meanwhile, is struggling through a chaotic life, working several jobs as an invisible nobody at the bottom of society. Seeing her life in shambles, still single and raising a child, he applauds. But why is he the one who feels sorry for her? Does he love her more the more he hates her?
“I’ll give you only two choices: go to prison or pay with your life.”
“I can afford to pay more than five hundred thousand. But are you worth it?”
It turns out that love lasts longer than hate. He keeps trying to convince himself that he hates her most, when in truth, she is still the one he loves most.
