At first, Wen Linsui's life was going badly, so she decided to climb the social ladder and escape her uncle's family's control by deliberately provoking someone she shouldn't have.
At their first meeting, Miss Wen boldly declared her love, passionate and direct.
Wen Lie Nian saw through her, but played along, pretending it was half true.
Later, she got what she wanted and planned to walk away without a scratch.
But Wen Lie Nian broke down in tears, eyes red as he begged her humbly, "Suisui, don't be so cruel to me."
Wen Linsui had no choice but to be ruthless. "I lied when I said I liked you. You knew that, didn't you?"
She thought she could cut every tie between them, not knowing Wen Lie Nian had never planned to let go.
"Whether you're lying to me or not, I love you, clumsily and stubbornly."

"Mr. Wen, looks like the rose you raised has pricked your hand."
"No, it pricked him in the heart."
