Zheng Huaijin has a secret: he likes his best friend's girlfriend, and has liked her for three years.
He likes her so much that when he wakes in the middle of the night, he can only fall asleep again by clinging to his yearning for her.
He feels ashamed of himself, so he keeps his distance and acts cold toward her.
Then the Yu family goes bankrupt, and Yu Ningzhi has no choice but to flee abroad with his family.
On a rainy night before he leaves, Yu Ningzhi brings the girl to Zheng Huaijin.
A man who has never known what it means to be humble trembles as he half-kneels before him.
"Yanyan can't handle hardship. She can't come with me."
"I know you don't like Yanyan. I'm only asking you for one thing."
"For the sake of having grown up together, please take good care of her."
Yu Ningzhi leaves in a sorry state. At the time, Zheng Huaijin thinks he will never come back.
So Zheng Huaijin claims the girl as his own and begins quietly planning their future together.
But he never expects that one day, after seven years of disappearing, Yu Ningzhi will suddenly tell him he's coming back to the country.
Content warnings: The heroine is not a virgin, while the hero is; the heroine is carefree and unfeeling.
