[Clear-headed, scheming childhood sweetheart VS withdrawn, obsessive childhood sweetheart]
The day the Song family teetered on the brink of bankruptcy, Ji Mingwei dumped Song Xu without hesitation, broke up with him, and left the country without a word. Their decades-long friendship became a colossal joke, and his first love, the girl he had cherished above all others, became a dark chapter in Song Xu's past.
Whenever people asked, Song Xu never dodged the question.
“She'd better never show her face in front of me again. If she does, I'll make her regret it.” His smile was cold, his hatred laid bare.
Five years later, Ji Mingwei came back.
Everyone worried for her, afraid she wouldn't be able to withstand Song Xu's revenge.
But they waited and waited, only to see Song Xu doggedly chasing after her again, like a ghost that wouldn't leave her alone.
Someone asked why. Song Xu sneered with disdain.
“What do you know? I just want to make her fall in love with me again, then dump her hard and let her know what it feels like to be abandoned.”

Ji Mingwei's life had always been busy. Busy taking revenge, busy fighting for the family fortune. Even her first encounter with Song Xu had been nothing but a calculated move.
What was love? A fleeting illusion.
It wasn't until later that Ji Mingwei found a notebook in Song Xu's safe.
It was filled with “I hate you,” written over and over, a shocking sight.
But behind every “I hate you” was a deep, indelible “I miss you.”
Just as, back then, in a foreign country, she had heard him sobbing helplessly on a late-night radio show:
“I hate her. I really hate her... But I still love her. I... why do I still love her?”
