High school student Lu Xingyao had been living a quiet life when her father suddenly died in a car accident and her mother, unable to bear the burden, left her. In an instant, she was plunged into the depths of despair. Just when she was at a loss, Lu Ting appeared and offered her a lifeline, but it came with a series of unequal bargains. Forced to accept in order to survive, Lu Xingyao carefully navigated her dealings with Lu Ting, doing everything she could to protect herself.
As they spent time together, a forgotten past gradually came to light. When they were young, the two had crossed paths before. At the time, Lu Ting was mired in the gloom of family troubles, and Lu Xingyao’s presence and companionship had shone like a light in his world. But as the years passed, she had long since forgotten what happened.
Years later, Lu Ting had made his way through the cutthroat business world and grown accustomed to deception and intrigue. When it came to the person he wanted to keep by his side, he had no idea what to do, and could only resort to force. Once they cast off their disguises and finally spoke honestly with each other, could they untangle the misunderstandings and be together, with their past bond entwined with their feelings in the present?
