    🌿✨The story begins with the male and female leads having already broken up, only to reunite after a long separation. ①When Song Qingwu broke up with Zong Yu, it was a clean break. He didn't try to stop her at all, only smoking on the balcony with his back to her, saying, "Think it over, I don't have the habit of getting back together with my ex-girlfriend." "From now on, avoid me, or I'll kill you." Three years after their breakup, Song Qingwu went up the mountain late at night to deliver some documents, accidentally knocking on the wrong door. Song Qingwu whispered an apology and turned to leave. Just a second before she stepped out of the room, a familiar, cold aura pressed down on her from behind, blocking her behind the door and giving her a deep kiss on the chin, which was then gripped tightly. She heard Zong Yu's hoarse, choked voice, "Song Qingwu, do you dare to show your face again?"
