The year she graduated from university, Yuan Man gave in to pressure from her family and added the person they'd picked for her as a blind date. The first thing she did after he accepted was tell him she liked someone else.

But she never expected she'd add the wrong person.

-

Zong Chengqian had just returned from abroad to take over the family business. Before he could refuse the marriage arrangement his family had planned, he received a friend request from the woman he loved.

He knew she'd added him by mistake.

But even after she told him she liked someone else,

he still planned to play along and proceed step by step.

He used the identity of her blind date to learn her preferences and gradually make himself a part of her life.

He'd planned to let things take their natural course.

But then he learned through his crush's WeChat that their parents planned to arrange a meeting between her and her blind date.

At that very moment, he heard his crush's name from a drunk friend.

It turned out that his friend was the person who was really supposed to be her blind date.

-

The man Yuan Man had a crush on became her blind date.

It was a scenario she hadn't dared to imagine even in her dreams, and it happened on the most miserable day of her life.

That evening, in the pouring rain, he held an umbrella over her, giving her a small shelter from the storm.

Yuan Man looked into his eyes, her voice catching slightly. "If I hadn't added the wrong contact..."

Would you have... ever even looked at me?

Amid the clamor of rain in a thousand worlds, he leaned close to her ear, his voice tender.

"Yuan Man."

"There are no what-ifs."

Because he had met her first, and he had fallen for her first.

She didn't know that before he met her, the vast world she'd once dared to glimpse had been nothing but a wasteland.

Meeting her was the one and only lucky omen of his life.

-

Everyone says the young master of the Zong family was born lucky.

His name, Chengqian, echoes the Qian hexagram, the only entirely auspicious one among the sixty-four hexagrams.

He had wealth, beauty, and power, all in abundance.

In other people's eyes, he was a lofty, untouchable man: disciplined, courteous, rational, and cold.

But no one knew the blood-soaked road he had walked, step by step.

Zong Chengqian looked at Yuan Man as if she were the only light keeping him alive.

From the age of ten to twenty-six: sixteen years in all.
