Chi Yan had been secretly in love with Ye Xi for five years.
Over those five years, she stood by Ye Xi as he went from being a nobody to the famous President Ye.
She was always at his side, his flawless, all-capable executive assistant.
They worked together seamlessly. Even their competitors always thought of President Ye and Assistant Chi as a pair.
Inseparable.
Chi Yan had thought this life could go on for a long time. Five years was enough to make her believe it might last forever.
But Ye Xi shattered that illusion.
After one mistake, Ye Xi fired her without a second thought.
Assistant Chi became an industry-wide laughingstock, and Chi Yan's secret love seemed like nothing but a dream.
Chi Yan couldn't understand it, and she didn't want to.
She slowly erased their memories, only to realize in the end that she had been the only one holding on all along.
Heartbroken, Chi Yan ran into her first love. But instead of abandoning her as he had before, he began pursuing her passionately again.
And what Chi Yan found even harder to understand was Ye Xi's sudden change in attitude.
What was wrong with him?
Male lead's perspective:
Ye Xi had grown up estranged from his family, hearing all his life that he was a jinx who brought misfortune to those around him. He had always kept his distance from others.
He thought nothing of it.
So what if he was a jinx? As long as he had money and power, people would always flock to him.
But Chi Yan was the exception.
He had no idea where that woman had come from, but he couldn't get rid of her.
Ye Xi let his worst side show, wanting to see where Chi Yan's limits were.
Until one day, another man appeared at Chi Yan's side.
Ye Xi realized that things were slipping out of his control.
He panicked.
Reader advisory:
1. The male lead is genuinely a scumbag, genuinely messed up, and genuinely a playboy. He has a white moonlight, the woman he has always loved.
2. Neither lead is a virgin, and neither was the other's first love. Both have their scars: the heroine's face can be repaired later, while the male lead's slight limp is permanent.
3. A groveling pursuit of his wife, with no change of male lead.
Theme: Even secret love has its limits.
