A fast-paced story with no dragging or filler, told straight to the point.
[Beijing elite circles + military life + fake and real heiresses + mutual salvation + ensemble cast]
Both leads are each other's first and only love. The heroine, Chen Ye, is a dazzling young heiress; the hero, He Sui, is a colonel in Beijing.
"You think fate dealt you a bad hand, but it only turned the ace face down."
Chen Ye, the dazzling "fake heiress" of the Chen family in Beijing, steps out of a club on a rainy autumn night when she's twenty-one, teetering on ten-centimeter heels, and crashes into the arms of He Sui, a young officer. Three years ago, she'd slept with him and left him with a single parting line at dawn: "Don't look back." Three years later, he wears the insignia of a major and carries their faded betrothal agreement, arranged by their families. In front of everyone, he sweeps her into his arms. "You still owe me. Where do you think you're running?"
,
The real heiress suddenly returns, and Chen Ye's identity is overturned. In a single night, she falls from the clouds. Only later does Shen Qinghuai, the young master of the Shen family, realize what he's lost. He kneels in the snow with a raging fever. "I missed the year you loved me most. Can we start over now?"
Was it the heart of a sixteen-year-old girl, or that marriage contract that once brought her so much humiliation...
[An ensemble cast, not a story focused solely on the two leads]
