Heiress and jewelry designer x Jewelry group heir and music producer

Woman, 24 x Man, 18 (dating age)

Two people raised in a world of wealth and glamour: one is the eldest daughter of the Sha family, the other the young heir of the Tang family. Their families are fierce business rivals, and they are cousins with no blood relation.

At two, Tang Mosen was bullied by his eight-year-old cousin until he wailed. From then on, he couldn't stand her.

At sixteen, Tang Mosen's gaze toward his cousin began to change into something less innocent.

That same year, Sha Yao'er discovered that the YouTube music creator she was obsessed with was, beneath his mask, the cousin who had always seemed to have it in for her. One more pair of not-so-innocent eyes.

They secretly followed each other, cautious yet restless with anticipation, as their love quietly grew.

At eighteen, Tang Mosen used his drunkenness as an excuse to corner his cousin on an empty terrace at his high school graduation dance, then bent down and kissed her.

Sha Yao'er slapped him across the face with a sharp crack. Her heartbeat was even louder as she said, "Try kissing me again and I'll hit you again!"

Tang Mosen turned his head and smiled, his eyes bright. "Then I'll just have to kiss you until your hand gets tired."

He bent down and kissed her again.

When they were young, they thought they could keep their love a secret. Later, they learned that you simply can't hide it when you love someone.

It took their families decades to become sworn enemies. It took the two of them just one look to become accomplices.
