They crossed paths when they were three, bickered as children, then stood by each other abroad for fourteen years.
Meng Xuanye is F City’s most notorious playboy, known to everyone: flamboyant, devious, and heir to a fortune worth hundreds of billions. He is ruthless in everything, except when it comes to Zeng Rou, who has him completely wrapped around her finger.
He is starved for love, conflicted, and obsessive. Spoiled into ruin as a boy, he sinks to the bottom, then claws his way back from the brink, taking power step by step until he reaches the top of the business world.
He plans every move for her, laying out a gentle path. For fourteen years, he has been free of scandal, keeping all his affection for her alone.
But though they can cross mountains and seas together, it is the daily grind that proves hardest to weather.
The difference in their family backgrounds, tension with his mother, clashing values, competing careers, and disagreements over raising children: reality wears away at their love, layer by layer.
A single photo of them holding hands becomes the final avalanche that buries their marriage.
The airport is crowded, and their parting comes without warning.
Exhausted, Zeng Rou casually makes a spiteful promise:
“If you find the Mirage Sea in Country G first, we’ll get back together.”
Meng Xuanye believes her.
He puts away his sharp edges, clings to a lie, and never marries, spending half his life consumed by the obsession.
Years later, with frost in his hair, he sits alone by the Mirage Sea and finally understands:
Her remaining years are filled with warmth, gentle winds, and a place to call home.
As for his mountains and seas, no one has ever come home to them.
