A year ago, at a company retreat, Lin Shuyi and Fu Chenzhou unexpectedly crossed paths.
One was the company's untouchable figurehead, the other a low-ranking employee struggling to make ends meet.
Nobody could have imagined that these two people, who had nothing to do with each other, would end up entwined in each other's arms at night.

To outsiders, Fu Chenzhou was ruthless, cold-blooded, and famously merciless.
The only person who ever received his tenderness was Lin Shuyi.
When Lin Shuyi was on her period, he would indulge her unreasonable request to tuck her feet inside his clothes to warm them.
And if she mentioned wanting tofu pudding from the south of town, he'd drive out in the middle of the night to buy it for her.
Lin Shuyi thought she was at least special to Fu Chenzhou, until she happened to hear him talking to a friend:
"There's nothing special about her."
"We're just using each other."
Lin Shuyi's heart sank. She told him they were finished.
In the living room, Fu Chenzhou stared at her, calm and composed. "Are you sure?"
Lin Shuyi held back her tears and forced a smile. "Yes, Mr. Fu."
-
After Lin Shuyi left, Fu Chenzhou carried on with his life as usual. It made no difference to him.
Until he saw Lin Shuyi walking with a strange man. They were laughing and chatting, looking close.
Suddenly, a bicycle came speeding toward Lin Shuyi. The man reacted quickly and caught her in his arms, one hand resting on her waist.
The sight was unbearably painful to Fu Chenzhou.
Later, when he heard that Lin Shuyi was getting married, Fu Chenzhou couldn't sit still any longer.
That night, Fu Chenzhou stood beneath Lin Shuyi's apartment building. From the darkness, he spoke with domineering certainty:
"Lin Shuyi, break up with him."
Lin Shuyi only found it funny. "Why should I?"
Fu Chenzhou's voice turned hoarse. "I regret it."
After that, Fu Chenzhou did everything he could to make Lin Shuyi believe that, to him, she would always be special.
