[Sweet and stubborn girl x mischievous, devoted man]
[She falls first, he pursues her | Rekindled romance | Powerful man descends from his pedestal for love]
He Ling and Shen Shinan are two very different people.
The former is quiet and well-behaved, gentle without standing out, and used to being one of many faces in the background.
Shen Shinan, on the other hand, is always impeccably dressed and is a notorious spendthrift among the social elite.
She knew who he was, but had never entertained any inappropriate thoughts about him.
Until one day, after a class reunion, she was left behind at the foot of the hill where the villa stood.
The driver of a passing Bentley slowly lowered his window.
Shen Shinan held a slender cigarette between his fingers, his peach-blossom eyes at once indifferent and flirtatious. "Need a hand?"
On that winter night, the wind fell silent.
The girl spoke, her gentle voice as still as soundless snow. "Sorry to trouble you, Mr. Shen."

He Ling was gentle and well-behaved, and her face, reminiscent of a first love, made her the unattainable dream of every man around her. Shen Shinan seemed to be with her just for the novelty. Once the excitement wore off, people from different worlds were bound to drift apart.
When she left him, Shen Shinan did not try to stop her. He only asked what she wanted.
He Ling had wanted nothing at the time. Smiling, she said, "Mr. Shen, love is only the icing on the cake. I already have everything I need."
Afterward, she left the city where she had lived for more than twenty years and went abroad to study.
Years later, they met again amid the glittering world of fame and fortune.
Her career was thriving, and her looks and poise were impossible to ignore.
Seeing her chatting and laughing with another man, Shen Shinan pressed her at every turn, but she kept her distance without making it obvious.
"Mr. Shen, it's a pleasure to meet you. I hope we'll get along."
Only then did he realize he had lost her for good.

"They say Luoyang's blossoms are as splendid as brocade, yet when I arrived, spring had passed me by."
Even the pampered young Master Shen, the center of everyone's attention, could feel regret.
The second young master character, Shen Shinan! Feel free to add this to your collection if you're interested.
