Gu Yunxin drugged and tried to ensnare Lu Ting, the Crown Prince of the capital’s elite circle, but failed. Song Xinglan stumbled upon the scene and, moved by compassion, stepped in to help before leaving afterward. She accidentally left behind a silver bookmark engraved with her name.
Lu Ting, who suffered from severe germophobia, considered it a terrible humiliation. He ordered a thorough search for Song Xinglan and deliberately made things difficult for her through a school-business partnership, determined to make the woman who had dared offend him pay.
Clear-headed and perceptive, with a gentle manner and a sharp edge, Song Xinglan met every challenge with ease. She used her abilities to silence all his complaints and left him speechless, never suffering the slightest loss. Instead, she used the Crown Prince’s name to clear away a host of obstacles.
His attempt at revenge only made him fall for her. From then on, Lu Ting began a battle of denial and pursuit: he called her proposal trash in public, then guarded the draft and refused to let anyone change a word; he complained that she was neglecting her work, yet cleared out a bar late at night just to keep her safe. When the Song family was attacked and faced bankruptcy, he secretly stepped in to bail them out, still insisting, “Don’t make me look bad.”
The appearance of a gentle senior who stood up for her finally ignited Lu Ting’s jealousy. He cornered her in a parking garage and kissed her by force, declaring possessively, “From the day you touched me, you became mine.”
Gu Yunxin kept scheming, but Song Xinglan had the evidence and turned the tables on her every time. In the end, Lu Ting confessed to her in public. What began as a vengeful pursuit became a lifetime of devotion: Lu Ting and Xinglan, together through all the years to come.
