Cheng Shu was a fake princess, living under someone else’s roof in the Cheng family. Yet she was cherished until she became a true prodigy, beyond the reach of anyone in the capital. Everyone wanted to win her favor, but her heart belonged only to the incomparable Cheng Yunqian.
She knew there was an impassable chasm between them, so she could only hide her love in her heart. But from that day on, they could never go back to how things were, and they would never again be the people closest to each other...
At Cheng Yunqian’s engagement banquet, his fiancée is suddenly involved in an accident, and the feelings Cheng Shu had buried are exposed for all to see. Everyone looks at her with disgust and suspicion, accusing her of being the mastermind who would stop at nothing to gain status, wealth, and power...
She doesn’t care what she loses, because none of it ever belonged to her. She doesn’t expect him to love her, either. She just wants to be able to see him.
On the night before she is sent abroad, he gets blackout drunk and holds her tightly. He was the one who insisted on sending her away, so why does he look so reluctant, with tears in his eyes?
Seven years pass with no word from either of them. When they meet again, she has a daughter by her side, and everything about her tells him that she can be happy without him. He has made a name for himself and is no longer the Cheng family’s young master, pushed around by others. But he has lost her...
One day after their reunion, he corners her. “That night, I wasn’t drunk.”
Cheng Shu: “What?”
Cheng Yunqian: “Everything I did that crossed the line on the night you left the Cheng family... I remember it all.”
Cheng Yunqian’s greatest regret in life is sending Cheng Shu away. Ever since, every day has been filled with remorse.
