Expired Passion: Do Not Recycle

She fell head over heels six years ago, then vanished without a trace five years later. Su Wanqiu, a clear-eyed yet stubborn designer, buried her unfulfilled youthful crush deep in her heart. She learned to make money, talk back, and let things go, never speaking of her past feelings. That is, until she takes on a high-end private residence project and comes face-to-face with Lu Yanci, the coldest and most exacting client in the industry: the man who disappeared five years ago, her unattainable first love. Everyone says Lu Yanci is ruthless and unfeeling, yet with Su Wanqiu alone, he makes an exception, indulging her and giving in at every turn. Both stubbornly put on a show of nonchalance, disguising their true feelings as they grow jealous and push and pull against each other while working together. Long-buried misunderstandings, deliberate distance, and five years of silent devotion known to no one gradually come to light. It turns out neither ever stopped caring. Their youthful pride and other people's meddling had trapped two people who had loved each other all along. Love doesn't expire. Now older and wiser, they will finally clear up their misunderstandings, lower their defenses, and heal each other, so their long-awaited romance can finally begin at just the right time.
