The reunion between Nan Yin, an HR manager, and A Ye, the group’s president, turns into an unavoidable storm of chaos in the office tower.
Seven years ago, she donated a kidney to save her critically ill younger sister. When doctors warned that her prognosis was uncertain, she left alone for Country G, letting the love she had shared with her childhood friend be buried by time. Seven years later, she returns hoping to keep a low profile, but he brings a heart full of resentment and keeps her trapped at his side. He deliberately makes things difficult for her at work and mocks her as a stand-in at a reception. Every word is sharp as ice, crushing her pride. He calls her nothing but a counterfeit, yet late at night he stares at her old belongings with red-rimmed eyes.
Carrying a failing body and a secret she cannot bring herself to share, Nan Yin retreats step by step in the face of his cold treatment. Her love grows colder with each day of torment. By the time her medical records are scattered across the floor and her sister tearfully reveals the truth, it is already too late. As she lies dying, her plea, “Could you love me just a little less?” goes unanswered. All that remains is A Ye, alone in the empty office, reliving the seven years he betrayed in an endless cycle of regret.
