If the scandal hadn't broken,
no one in B City would ever have connected the two.
Shen Zhiyu, who held the lifeline of B City's economy, had a handsome face and a cold disposition, with a cruel streak beneath his icy exterior. Even so, countless people fawned over him, regarding him as the “tyrant” of the financial empire.
Cheng Ran had left home to pursue his dream. Delicate and beautiful, he concealed a stubborn streak beneath his gentle exterior. Before he had even debuted, fans had voted him into first place on a variety show. He was determined to debut as the center.
By chance, the two met.
The unspoken emotions wound tightly together, like a single, fine white strand of spider silk, somewhere Cheng Ran couldn't see.
It was a web Shen Zhiyu had spun for Cheng Ran. Now it was time to pull it closed.
Shen Zhiyu raised his eyes and stared at Cheng Ran. “Will you be my lover?”
From that day on, Cheng Ran's life took a steep turn for the worse.
Shen Zhiyu marked his gland.
A rival exposed the affair and the abuse of power. The fans who had once loved Cheng Ran now hated him just as much. They dragged his name across the trending lists, making sure everyone knew.
With no hope of debuting, Cheng Ran was utterly disheartened and left without looking back.
One day, a gossip story once again brought two familiar figures to the public's attention. After a banquet, Shen Zhiyu blocked Cheng Ran's way.
The usually cold and indifferent Shen Zhiyu had red eyes now. In a wretched, humbling posture, he came to Cheng Ran and pleaded softly
“Ranran, be good and come home with me, okay?”
