Her parents died in a laboratory fire. After her grandmother passed away, Liu Yi became an island unto herself, with only pharmaceutical research for company.
Jiang Chengyi returned from abroad to teach and carefully worked his way into her life. Using tenderness as bait, he took the lonely, helpless woman under his wing, then fell for her for real.
But the truth would eventually come out.
“Jiang Chengyi, I think you must have loved me once. But when I think it over, love must be the easiest and most useless card for you to discard.”
She tears apart the illusion of love and rediscovers her original purpose. He abandons his schemes and does everything he can to win her back.
Can a love that began as a ploy survive long enough to become genuine?
But genuine feelings are always changing.
Her ambitious childhood friend is her equal, testing her at every turn. Her gentle, considerate senior fellow student offers her shelter and steady companionship. Her younger schoolmate, eager to compete for her affection, loves her passionately and without reservation, making his preference for her impossible to miss.
Of all the heart-stirring possibilities in this world, which one isn’t more real than Professor Jiang, so far beyond her reach?
Academic pursuits demand perseverance, but they also value knowing when to cut your losses and find a better path. And Liu Yi is an outstanding student blessed with both talent and determination.
