Urban romance / the remorseful pursuit of a wife / a fake romance turns real / rekindled love /
Cold, sharp-tongued CEO gong and seemingly warm but inwardly aloof straight shou
Jiang Yuchuan is diagnosed with a terminal illness. His treatment will cost two million. With nowhere else to turn, he takes his coworker Hao Wei's advice and decides to seduce his direct supervisor, Lu Xubai, a cold-faced CEO rumored to be gay, and trick him into paying for treatment.
The plan works surprisingly well. Lu Xubai really does fall for him, and the two quickly enter a passionate relationship. Jiang Yuchuan lets Lu Xubai “accidentally” discover his illness, and Lu Xubai pays for his treatment without a second thought.
Just as everyone assumes this is a cliched tale of a scam turning into true love, Jiang Yuchuan runs away. Three months after leaving the hospital, he leaves behind a letter of apology and disappears without a trace.
Three years later, Jiang Yuchuan sees Lu Xubai in the hallway of his new company. The man is dressed in a perfectly pressed black suit and still looks just as unapproachable as ever.
“Long time no see, Jiang Yuchuan.”
