A Lifetime of Longing

Shen Nian, a gifted student from a poor family, asks wealthy heir Gu Xizhou for help to save her mother. The two clash at school, then come to understand each other. For ten years, she keeps her head down and bides her time, armed with an intelligence network and an uncanny ability to predict financial trends. Though he is face-blind, he can recognize her alone. As a financial crisis sweeps through the country, power struggles among the wealthy intensify, and the heirs face one grueling test after another. She breaks through with her academic prowess and uses data for some face-slapping, while secretly laying the groundwork to clear his name. When his cards are canceled and he's thrown out of his family home, she cooks for him and stays by his side. From their school days to the workplace, she helps him build a business, and he helps her investigate the case. When her background is exposed and public opinion turns against her, she turns the tide with evidence. Their contract marriage blossoms into true love, and a debt of two hundred thousand becomes a decade of devotion. Their business rivalry never lets up, but neither does their love. She is the only person he has ever chosen, and he is the one she has always been able to rely on.
