Yuan Qi'an, second young master of the Yuan family in Beijing's elite circle and a cold, brilliant student at E University, has kept a secret for over a decade: he is hopelessly in love with his childhood sweetheart and fiancée, Xu Qingran.
Then one day, the campus belle Xu Qingran is confessed to in front of everyone. Yuan Qi'an pulls her into his arms in front of the entire school and says, "Sorry, she's mine."
That night, Xu Qingran hooks a finger into his tie and smiles. "Playing it cool, are you? Hmm?"
Yuan Qi'an pins her against the wall, his voice hoarse. "I've kept up the act for over a decade. I can't keep it up anymore."
