In 1997, on the eve of Hong Kong's return to the motherland, the lights of Victoria Harbor were bright.
That night, the shipyard exploded, and her father was buried at the bottom of the sea, with no bones left.
It was also that night, in the rain at the pier, she picked up a dying boy who was covered in injuries. He held the corner of her clothes and said, "Wait for me."
She waited.
He didn't come.
Ten years later, the night on Hong Kong Island is still young.
Her name is Shen Weiyang, and she is the most inconspicuous reporter on the social section of the South China Daily. She lives in a subdivided room in a tenement house in Yau Ma Tei, and hangs out with dock workers, vendors, and people from the lower class every day. She doesn't believe in fate, only the truth - she has been investigating the cause of her father's death.
His name is Fu Chengzhou, he is the youngest talker of the Fu Group and controls half of Hong Kong Island's real estate and shipping. The media said he was as cold as a knife, ruthless and a hunter in the capital world. The black ring on the ring finger of his left hand has never been taken off.
He recognized her at a charity dinner.
She held the wine glass and took a step back with a smile: "Mr. Fu, we are not familiar with each other."
He held the wall with one hand, trapping her in the night of Victoria Harbor: "Shen Weiyang, you still owe me a meal."
She thought he was betraying her youth by leaving without saying goodbye.
He thought she never waited and betrayed the oath she made that night.
Ten years of misunderstanding is like a wall between the two.
He hated her "silence."
She resented his "disappearance."
But fate refused to let them go - the real man behind the 1997 shipyard accident that Shen Weiyang traced was the same force that forced Fu Chengzhou to leave Hong Kong Island and intercepted the "Wait for Me" letter.
They are dealing with the same person.
And to take revenge, they must join forces.
So, one is the dock daughter who can no longer believe it, and the other is a capital hunter who doesn't know how to love. In the night of Victoria Harbor, the most dangerous game begins——
She pretended to be close, and he pretended not to know.
He pressed forward step by step, and she retreated steadily.
He taught her how to navigate the world of fame and fortune, and she took him back to the fireworks world of Yau Ma Tei.
He thought she was using him, she thought he was testing her.
But those silences on the rooftop late at night, the looks at each other in the villa on the mountainside, the side by side on the Star Ferry——
Is it an act or is it sincerity?
When the truth surfaced inch by inch, they discovered:
The miss that year was caused deliberately by someone.
Today's closeness is a new gift from fate.
But the price of revenge is that he has to take himself to court.
He said to her: "Shen Weiyang, this time, I will wait for you."
She asked him: "How long?"
He said: "Is a lifetime enough?"
The nights on Hong Kong Island are long, long enough to bury all the secrets.
The lights in Victoria Harbor are very bright, and everything that shines brightly is filled with deep feelings.
The night is still young, love is not yet cold.
This time, please don't miss it again.
Intention: "The night is still young, love is not yet cold, there will be dawn eventually."
