"Fifty million, buy out your design and our relationship."
On that rainy night five years ago, Xu Xingran was pushed out of Lin City by Lu Chengyu himself, clutching the buyout contract and "intimate photos." The boy who once promised to pluck the stars for her cut off everything in the cruelest way.
Five years later, she returned with the International Design Gold Award.
On the red carpet, she is a cutting-edge designer that attracts much attention; under the undercurrent, she wants to investigate every doubt in the past. The mysterious donation of out-of-print fabrics, the special care given to the C-position of the exhibition, the timely clarification of the plagiarism scandal - behind all the "coincidences", they point to the person she hates the most.
Lu Chengyu has become the youngest person in power in the Lu Group, and beside him stands his elegant and decent fiancée Shen Yuwei. By all accounts, what a wise choice he made five years ago.
Until the night of the celebration banquet, it rained heavily. He rushed into the venue soaking wet, knelt down on one knee in front of everyone, and held out the star ring that was five years late.
"I'm sorry for keeping you waiting for five years."
Only then did people realize that the five hundred thousand was to protect her design patent from the jackals; that photo was of his newly found sister; the five years of dormancy were the protective wall he had built for her with his health, inheritance, and even his entire reputation.
And the deepest calculation was that he would rather be hated by her for the rest of his life than to let her leave this bloody storm safely.
It turns out that the starlight never goes out.
It turned out that someone had loved her in the most silent way for five years.
