A Love Too Late, a Lifetime of Heartache

A fast-paced plot with no dragging. A clearheaded heroine who isn't a pushover, a CEO who doesn't lose his intelligence, and villains who are ruthless and don't waste words.

At her engagement banquet, Lin Zhiwan calls off the wedding herself, only to unexpectedly find warmth in Shen Shiyan. He is the most mysterious power player in Beijing's elite circle, yet he showers her with shameless affection and protects her without limits.

He gives her his favor and helps her find redemption. Lin Zhiwan thinks she has finally caught hold of the light, but their happiness has been on a countdown from the very beginning.

The sweetness is real, but so is the pain. How could they let go so easily after loving each other?
