[Gloomy, aloof introvert girl x passionate, proud, healing-type guy]
High school to college | Healing | Reunited after a breakup | One-on-one romance
In the restless years of adolescence, Qiu Miao grew into a beautiful young woman with a twisted and crooked way of thinking and acting.
She received a scholarship to attend an expensive private high school, where she spent her days walking alone in the dark, unable to fit in.
Her benefactor's son, Su Jinghuai, was a senior at the same school. He was sunny and passionate, handsome and athletic, outstanding in his studies, and loved by everyone.
Qiu Miao and Su Jinghuai were at odds, and their clashes repeatedly ended badly. But he always came back to her, time and again.
Just as their relationship was finally improving, news came that he'd been accepted early to a prestigious university, and Qiu Miao completely fell out with him.

A few years later, they met again at an academic event.
Su Jinghuai pretended not to know her, treated her as if she weren't there, and resolved to have nothing more to do with her.
Qiu Miao pursued him for two days, and they became a couple.
But the person who used to be impossible to push away was now restrained and cautious, never even taking the initiative to hold her hand.
Two weeks later, Qiu Miao told him goodbye.

The night he caught her and took her back, Su Jinghuai tightened the ropes.
Qiu Miao struggled uselessly on the bed, looking at her wrists forced together. She wasn't even scared, just a little confused.
She turned to demand an explanation, but his tall, cold body held her firmly in place.
His eyes were slightly red, whether from anger or hurt, she couldn't tell. His lips and heavy breaths almost brushed the fine hairs on her ear as he asked, "What kind of person do you even like?"
