Just as she's about to confess, she stumbles upon him rekindling his romance with his ex-girlfriend. She hears him say—"I'm attracted to her because she reminds me of you." Enraged, Shen Zhinian drowns her sorrows in alcohol, mistakenly confessing to her arch-rival, Cheng Chuxiao, whom she sees as her true love. Rumors spread like wildfire. "What? Miss Shen's long-time crush is actually her long-time rival?" That night, Shen Zhinian suffers a car accident and loses her memory. Upon waking, she digests the rumors… When she looks up at Cheng Chuxiao, her eyes gleam with a spring-like light, as if filled with stars. Upon receiving the strange signal, Cheng Chuxiao was initially resistant to Shen Zhinian's relentless pursuit despite her mental lapse: When would she regain her memory? Later, after experiencing the soft warmth between her teeth, Cheng Chuxiao thought: She'd better never regain her memory. Until Xiao Hechuan returned from abroad, the memories that followed brought back everything to Shen Zhinian's mind. He pleaded for her forgiveness in a low voice: "Give me another chance, okay?" Shen Zhinian's gaze missed him, instead falling on another lonely, slender figure reflected in the glass door behind him. As she lowered her eyes in silence, her wrist was suddenly gripped tightly by a strong force, pulling her away. In a dark, deserted corner, the usually restrained man pinned her against the wall and kissed her again and again, his eyes red and his voice hoarse: "You dare to say yes to him—"
