Their first encounter.
Han Qingchu is helplessly facing her drunk boyfriend alone.
Perhaps it was fate.
Shen Zhangxu happens to enter her line of sight. Han Qingchu thinks he's just an ordinary man dressed well.
“Excuse me, sir, could you help me?” Han Qingchu's voice is gentle and composed, and her eyes are clear and bright.
It isn't until Han Qingchu sees his Rolls-Royce Phantom that she realizes he's someone important. By then, it's too late to regret asking.
On the way to drive them both home, Shen Zhangxu listens to their quiet whispers.
With interest, he asks, “Your boyfriend?”
From then on, their lives keep crossing paths.

In the quiet tea room, the fragrance of tea drifts through the air.
Shen Zhangxu's long-fingered hand holds out a teacup to Han Qingchu. He curls his lips into a smile and asks, “When are you breaking up with your boyfriend?”
Han Qingchu looks up and falls into the glaciers in Shen Zhangxu's eyes. She instantly feels cold to her fingertips.
Han Qingchu steels herself and says, “We're very much in love. He's a good man, too.”
Shen Zhangxu raises an eyebrow slightly and says nonchalantly, “Is that so? He can look at a photo and brazenly accuse you of something you didn't do.”
As Han Qingchu lifts her teacup to drink, she loses her grip, and it falls to the floor.
It shatters into pieces, tea spilling everywhere.
“What your boyfriend can give you,” Shen Zhangxu says, lifting her chin with a crooked finger, “I can give you a hundred times over. There's no need to cling to a rotten tree.”

Later.
“Qingchu, could you at least pretend to like me?” Shen Zhangxu gazes at her, his expression impossible to read. He lowers himself, saying, “What do you need? I'll do everything I can to help you.”
Han Qingchu takes his words to heart, then turns around and uses him.
Pretending to like him.
Shen Zhangxu knows it's just her sweet trap, but he willingly falls into it.
As he plans their wedding, Han Qingchu makes plans to run away.

They meet again on a warm afternoon.
Shen Zhangxu suddenly barges back into Han Qingchu's life.
She looks at him in terror, as if she's seen a ghost.
“Qingchu, I've known you were here for a long time. I didn't dare show up in case I scared you off. But I miss you too much,” he says softly.
As Han Qingchu listens, a shadow falls over her eyes.
A swamp can look smooth on the surface. Once you step into it, the more you struggle, the deeper you sink.

Haha, so living together is just for his own needs. Does it mean you can't live if you don't agree? How did you live without a girlfriend for so many years? Will there be no need then?
