Jiang Zhi was stubborn from birth, fighting with all her might to get everything she wanted. In the end, her family fell into ruin, and she was left with nothing but a wretched existence before fleeing to another country.
Chu Qingheng was born a favored child of heaven. He grew up with everything going his way, excelling in both his studies and career. He had never known what it meant to be disappointed.
Her feelings for him were always complicated: unmistakable admiration, and a jealousy that cut to the heart.
Before she left the country, she thought their reckless pursuit of each other was love, a chance at salvation.
Until she realized he was only using her for amusement, out of spite over his beloved white moonlight.
The day the truth came out, she left his world without a word, carrying a heart shattered to pieces.
They meet again after she returns home, at an awkward blind date held at a bar that imitates a dating reality show.
He is Mr. Chu, adored by everyone. She is an ordinary woman who has come home at last.
He offers no apology or remorse. He simply draws close again, testing her step by step as he quietly brings her into his orbit.
Old feelings surge. Jealousy and resentment intertwine, while pride and attraction pull her in opposite directions.
This time, he is the first to fall, and the first to lose control.
But he never understands his own feelings. When his beloved white moonlight returns and acts vulnerable, he ultimately gives in to her.
When an accident strikes, he instinctively rushes to protect Su Ruan, completely forgetting the woman just a step away and leaving her in danger.
In that instant, her newly awakened feelings die all over again.
Only later, after he becomes obsessed and gives everything to find her, does he understand that she no longer wants the love and redemption he was so late to offer.
