Blurb One:
Six years after their breakup, Tan Shuo has become a famous genius director in the Chinese entertainment industry. Ji Rangyan returns to the country of his own accord and comes to him, saying he wants to work together.
Tan Shuo sneers.
That night, a hashtag bearing Ji Rangyan's name shoots to the top of the trending list.
#ProducerJiRangyanAbandonedHisWifeAndChildSixYearsAgo#
Spending 2.4 million to buy a full day at the top of the trending list is Tan Shuo's reunion gift to him.
Two hours after the hashtag appears, Tan Shuo gets a call from an unknown number.
He doesn't even have to think about who it is. Tan Shuo answers and, before the other person can say anything, fires back, “Surprise.”
Ji Rangyan asks, “Where are you?”
Tan Shuo: “Are you panicking because you can't get the trending topic taken down? Beg me, and I'll clear things up for you.”
Ji Rangyan's voice is calm. “I don't care.”
Tan Shuo: “Then why are you calling?”
“Open the door,” Ji Rangyan interrupts. “I'm outside your place.”
Tan Shuo frowns. “It's the middle of the night. What are you doing here?”
“What do you think?”

Ji Rangyan begs Tan Shuo to get back together with him every day. He doesn't care when Tan Shuo burns him with a cigarette or bites his neck hard enough to break the skin in an attempt to vent his anger.
When Tan Shuo suffers a grievance he can't resolve on his own, Ji Rangyan will do whatever it takes to get revenge for him.
He even learns how to act vulnerable and play the sweet, harmless type, driving away everyone who pursues Tan Shuo.
They have angry sex many times, but Tan Shuo still won't give him a title.
Tan Shuo tells him, “If you can't take it, end things.”
Ji Rangyan lowers his eyes, his voice soft. “It's okay. You can keep me on the hook. I don't mind. I'm doing this willingly.”
Blurb Two:
At eighteen, Tan Shuo was coaxed by twenty-year-old Ji Rangyan into his first relationship.
Tan Shuo thought their love was unbreakable.
A year later, Ji Rangyan's mother showed up with ten bodyguards carrying briefcases. In a nasty tone, she told Tan Shuo, “Name your price. How much will it take for you to leave my son?”
Tan Shuo: “All right, I'll name one.”
Ji Rangyan's mother: “Go ahead.”
Tan Shuo: “99.9 billion.”
Ji Rangyan's mother: “?”
Tan Shuo glanced at the ten bodyguards behind her, his voice lazy. “You probably didn't bring enough money. Let's meet again when you have it.”
Ji Rangyan's mother: “Do you even know what you're saying?”
Tan Shuo was perfectly polite. “There's nothing wrong with my head. I understand what I'm saying. 99.9 billion. It's not as if your family doesn't have it. I'll take the money, and I guarantee that not only I, but the next twenty generations of my family, will never have the slightest connection with yours. We won't even make eye contact or pass each other on the street. I can even write it into our family rules: anyone who makes eye contact with or walks past someone from your family will have one leg broken, based on surveillance footage. You can rest easy for at least twenty generations.”
Ji Rangyan's mother stormed off. A week later, Tan Shuo got another call from her.
“I've prepared the money. It's in a bank account. Come meet me.”
Tan Shuo laughed mockingly. “Chairwoman, take that bank card to the psychiatric department and get yourself checked out. You really don't seem right.”
Three days after he said that, Ji Rangyan broke up with him in the middle of the night.
He blocked Tan Shuo's number, deleted his WeChat account, and disappeared, giving Tan Shuo no chance to respond.
Tan Shuo, realizing that his supposedly unbreakable love had played him and that he'd lost out on 99.9 billion: ...
1. They reunite at the start.
2. Both leads are sexually inexperienced and faithful.
3. The sudden breakup had its reasons, and both of them love each other deeply.
