Cool-headed, rational, self-disciplined financial auditor x Paranoid, gravity-type, reserved and powerful CEO
Two powerful leads at odds | Realism | Intellectual tension | Cold strategic maneuvering | Extreme contrast | Salvation through obsession
Xu Xie's first half of life was spent trapped in the shackles of atonement, living with restraint in a barren world.
Then, at his engagement banquet, a strange woman suddenly kissed him, breaking the unchanging silence of his life.
This unexpected transgression didn't anger him in the slightest. Instead, it stirred a defiant thrill in the depths of his long-repressed heart.
He tried to find the woman who had suddenly barged into his world, but despite searching high and low, he found no trace of her.
He could only regard it as a fleeting encounter that had gone nowhere.
Until a family banquet, when the woman appeared again and unexpectedly entered his field of vision.
What was more, Xu Xie realized that she had deep connections with all the capital's powerful elites.
He alone was an outsider.
Su Bai's air of mystery gradually ensnared Xu Xie, who had always been calm and self-possessed.
Obsessed, he wanted to pluck this hazy, cool moon from the sky and hide her in his arms, so that her light would shine for him alone.
Su Bai had long since understood her fate.
She had heard the story of a moth drawn to a flame: the moth flies persistently toward the blazing fire, believing it to be its final home, only to burn and turn to ash.
Her life had already been consumed in a great fire more than twenty years ago.
All that remained was a body barely clinging to life, adrift in a dusty world.
She was afraid of fire, so she wanted only to drag her numb body into some damp corner and get by.
Until that candlelight fell upon her.
And after experiencing warmth, she could no longer bear the loneliness of being all alone.
In the end, she chose to draw close to that blazing fire, even if it meant turning to ash.
