Amid the rebar and concrete of the construction industry, Lin Qi’s youth and first love came to a standstill on a sweltering summer night when she was twenty-four.
She once laid her most heartfelt design ambitions and the all-or-nothing hopes of a young woman before Shen Yanbai. In the end, all she got was a heartbroken farewell.
Three years later, she has gone from an obscure design assistant to a lead architectural designer who can hold her own in the industry. Then she and Shen Yanbai cross paths again.
He is a rising real estate magnate with capital at his command, a carefree playboy who has always been at ease in the world of romance. He is never short of admirers or flowers, yet it is the cool, aloof, razor-sharp Lin Qi who awakens a sincerity in him he has never felt before.
He puts his womanizing ways behind him and draws closer, step by step, using unreserved tenderness and devotion to slowly melt the ice around her. She clings to the thorns in her heart and retreats at every step, yet his tender pursuit leaves her torn between love and hate.
The mists of the past have yet to clear. Between them lie the gulf of three years and wounds and obsessions left unspoken.
Once, they found the brightest river of stars in each other’s lives.
