At seventeen, Yan Shiyu liked Chu Wanxi. Everyone knew it.
She was domineering and hot-tempered. Not only did she insist that he sit beside her for two years, she also made him walk her home every day.
But she knew Chu Wanxi had never felt the same way.
He was a model student and class monitor, always willing to help his classmates, even when she made up such clumsy excuses.
He was quiet and reserved, so her bold advances barely got a reaction out of him. The strongest reaction she ever got was when he tossed her love letter aside at their graduation ceremony and said coldly, "We could never be together."
Yan Shiyu finally gave up hope. Still unwilling to accept it, she went to Manchester to study abroad, leaving behind the small city where she had lived for over ten years.
Years later, they meet again on a London street. Yan Shiyu is laughing and chatting with her new foreign boyfriend, his arm around her. Then, in the blink of an eye, someone drags her into an alley...
Chu Wanxi has gone crazy, she thinks.

In Chu Wanxi's dull, uneventful life, Yan Shiyu was the only thing that ever changed.
He had cruelly wanted to see how long she would keep liking him. Instead, she vanished without a trace for five years.
All she left him was the school uniform jacket she'd casually tossed on her seat.
From then on, Chu Wanxi was ill. He carried her jacket with him wherever he went.
No one knew that this impeccably dressed partner at a top law firm would secretly, and uncontrollably, bury his face in her clothes and breathe in her scent.
On a London street, he pins her against a wall, his eyes red at the corners, his gaze a hot, close-knit net wrapped around her. "How much farther are you going to run?"
As soon as the words leave his mouth, he kisses her again, not giving her the slightest room to breathe. "Can't you play with just me?"
"Didn't you say you liked me best? Liar."
