A War of Words and a Kiss of Thorns

Sharp-tongued, rakish CEO vs. straightforward, broke, money-loving writer; rekindled romance, reunion after years apart, intense push and pull, both devoted to each other, happy ending. Shi Ran gets hauled in for writing steamy stories, embarrassment level: 100%. The officer interrogating her is her ex-boyfriend of three years, embarrassment level: 10,000%. As if that weren’t embarrassing enough, they end up sharing a rental by sheer coincidence. Thinking he’ll get revenge, Shi Ran immediately wants to run. But Zhou Yi pulls out all the stops to make her stay. She never gets the revenge she expected; instead, they become a couple who are always at each other’s throats. “Three years later, you’re still beautiful, though your style’s a little tacky.” Shi Ran shoots back, annoyed: “My tackiness is just right for burying you.” - No one knows that on the night she vanished without a trace three years ago, he searched nearly every corner of the whole city of Hong Kong. Later, he tattooed her name in the most private place on his body, reminding himself every night to find her and destroy her. When they meet again, the tides surge in an instant and their hearts pound. Their hatred vanishes, leaving only longing. - The powerful elite say this man from Hong Kong is ruthless, deranged, and cold-blooded, a weirdo who never goes near women. Yet for three years running, he has gone to a temple every month with a pair of birth dates, asking when they will meet again... No one knows whose birth dates they are. Then a video takes the internet by storm... At the amusement park plaza, the ruthless businessman is completely unconcerned about his image. Dressed in a frog mascot suit, he dances around a sweet-faced, innocent-looking girl, just to make her smile. - Zhou Yi: “Time won’t wear down my love for you. It’ll only make my love grow stronger every day.” Shi Ran: “The world is full of bitterness, but Zhou Yi is that one little bit of sweetness.”
