In this marriage between equally powerful families, neither was willing to back down first. * When Zhan Nanpei and Li Qianqian had just divorced, someone asked him, "You just divorced like that? No regrets?" He was dressed in black, hands in his pockets, "It was a business marriage, so there's no question of regrets." Having lived for over twenty years, proud as he was, he was a backup option. Ten thousand meters in the air, on a private jet.

    The bittersweet feeling—is unrequited love truly a burden for the other person? In the beginning, his aloofness was incredibly painful. She didn't know he was even better at hiding his feelings than she was. She thought her hidden crush was even more potent than his. He always stubbornly mocked her bittersweet feelings to everyone. For him, her unrequited love was a burden. She was afraid of losing friends, so she remained a childhood friend—a coward who dared not confess. But when he asked her alone if she had a crush on him, she didn't notice his sweaty palms. Unable to answer, she could only ask him if he had a crush on her. Her hands trembled, but she pretended to be calm, placing them behind her back. His ears turned bright red as he reached into his pocket, trying to pull something out, but she, afraid of revealing her crush, ran away. He was disappointed and wanted to transfer schools. Hearing this made her even more heartbroken. She bitterly thought she would never see him again. Then, after getting into university, she heard that familiar voice being confessed to by the school beauty. But it was him! He hugged her and said she was his girlfriend, only telling her that she was just a shield to reject the school beauty. She was left without a formal commitment. A stinging, tingling pain shot through her heart from the vinegar-like taste. She thought it was a pleasant surprise, but hearing such words enraged her so much that she publicly denied being his girlfriend. Everyone said she was ordinary and yet dared to reject such a handsome school heartthrob. In her anger, she accidentally dropped the yellowed pearl hairpin, a keepsake from her mother. She cried as she looked back for it. They argued, and he returned the hairpin, only to have the school beauty stomp on it, smashing it and throwing five yuan at her in humiliation. She began to hate the school beauty. She threatened him to pretend to be her boyfriend, wanting to drive the school beauty crazy. The school beauty, however, offered her money to leave him. She agreed, then lost her memory. He seized the opportunity to claim she was his girlfriend. Her mother found her and gave her five million to leave him. She agreed to study abroad as quickly as possible. Upon returning, she didn't know he had become her CEO. She regained her memory, and he proposed. She only cared about the ring, not him, the "gift." He imprisoned her. At the wedding, she tried to escape, but he blocked her way. The school beauty appeared at the wedding.
