Fiction is full of free-spirited women who don't care about any man, yet can make men pine for them and lose their minds, pursuing them even at the cost of their entire fortunes.
Yuan Mengyao is one such woman, but she wasn't always like this. She once loved many people. But love is a kind of weakness, and she, too, once lost everything because of it.
She once loved a poor young man a few years her junior, earning money to support him through his PhD. But after he graduated and found a steady job, he looked down on her for being a bar hostess.
She also loved a handsome, wealthy boss. She spent several years with him without asking for money, but when the subject of marriage came up, he shook his head and refused, saying they came from different worlds.
In the end, she chose a gentle man. But even as he had her, he reproached her for her past relationships.
In all these relationships, Yun Mengyao was the one who called things off, and she was also the one left utterly devastated. She no longer believed in love, but the people from her past began coming back to her one by one.
