Synopsis

Six years ago, on their wedding day, Mo Wen pushed his bride away with his own hands.

When Shen Qi asked why, he simply said, "The wedding is off," then vanished from her world for good.

Back then, Shen Qi had no idea that Mo Wen's grandfather had been poisoned to death at the wedding banquet, and that the culprits were his own maternal uncle and aunt.

To avenge his grandfather and keep her from being dragged into the deadly plot, he chose the cruelest way: making her hate him.

Six years later, Shen Qi runs a small tavern on Jiangzhou's old street and raises the son Mo Wen never knew about on her own. The burdens of life have bent her back, but they haven't dimmed the light in her eyes.

Mo Wen, meanwhile, has become a rising business magnate at the helm of a trillion-yuan corporation. After lying low for six years, he's finally ready to close the net.

At last, the wheels of fate began to turn quietly on that winter night.

A misunderstanding, a chance encounter at a bar called Lover, and a long-laid plan pulled them back into each other's sight.

She hates him to the core, while he silently protects a secret she knows nothing about.

When she finally cries out hoarsely, "Mo Wen, I still love you so much!" he realizes just how unforgivable a mistake he's made.

True punishment isn't seeing your enemies brought to justice. It's knowing that the person you love endured every storm alone, where you couldn't see.

When belated devotion meets an old love covered in scars, he's willing to give her everything he has for the rest of his life, just for one chance to see her turn back to him.
