After finishing her part-time shift, Su Zhi returned to her dorm to find her roommate, the campus belle, venting her frustration after failing to win over a handsome guy.
"What kind of young master of the Xie family is he? Just because his family has money, he thinks he's all that? He wouldn't even add me on WeChat."
Su Zhi happened to glimpse a photo on her roommate's phone.
The young man stepping out of a Maybach was strikingly handsome, with sharp features and long, cold eyes. His presence was impossible to ignore, radiating a fierce, aristocratic air. He was handsome in a way that felt almost dangerous.
Su Zhi froze. Was Xie Liao, the guy who worked with her as a waiter, really the Xie family's young master?
After she and Xie Liao made their relationship official, Su Zhi moved into his rented apartment.
Life with Xie Liao was hardly any better than life on her own.
They both worked several part-time jobs, doing everything they could to make money. After work, they would cling to each other in the cramped, stuffy apartment, their breaths growing ragged.
Su Zhi thought Xie Liao was pretending to be poor to test her, so she never complained. She only told him that even living on nothing but the wind would feel sweet as long as she was with him.
Then came the welcome banquet for the Lin family's newly acknowledged illegitimate daughter. The Xie family's young master took the stage to give a speech.
Su Zhi, working as a greeter, stared wide-eyed from below at Xie Liao, who was there as a waiter.
Su Zhi asked, bewildered, "Aren't you the Xie family's young master?"

The first time Xie Liao saw Su Zhi was at an elder's birthday banquet.
Amid rustling silk and clinking glasses, a friend tipped his chin toward her. "The Lin family's illegitimate daughter is here too."
Xie Liao glanced over casually. Through the shifting crowd, he saw Su Zhi's slender, striking figure. Even the black uniform of a server couldn't hide her cool, elegant air. Every gesture was captivating.
His friend said, "The Lin family will acknowledge their illegitimate daughter sooner or later. Then she'll have all the wealth and luxury she could want, and won't have to work part-time anymore."
Half a year later, the Lin family finally acknowledged their illegitimate daughter. The welcome banquet was packed with distinguished guests.
Xie Liao and Su Zhi stared at each other from below the stage.
Xie Liao frowned. "Aren't you the Lin family's illegitimate daughter?"

Five years after their breakup, Su Zhi returned to China on a business trip with her boyfriend and got into a fight with a girl at a KTV.
As she waited at the police station for her boyfriend to pick her up, the girl threatened her. "My fiance is a top lawyer. You'll be sued for selling fake liquor!"
Before long, a Maybach pulled up outside. A tall, handsome man walked in.
Their eyes met. The summer-night breeze swept through the police station lobby, and the reunion caught them completely off guard.
The girl affectionately linked her arm through the man's and complained, "Ninth Brother, she's the one who bullied me."
Xie, now a successful lawyer, wore a sharp suit. He looked at Su Zhi with an almost-smile. "I thought you'd married into a rich family by now. So you're still doing this kind of work."
Su Zhi sneered. "Can't help it. Dating you was like getting a criminal record."
She turned to leave, but Xie Liao grabbed her arm.
His voice was low and hoarse, mocking, yet almost pleading. "Ten million. How long would that keep you?"

"Two broke people each mistook the other for a rich kid. They went to great lengths to get close, only to get nowhere."
"You talk about a love full of hatred and heartbreak, but the moment you see this face again, you'll fall for me in a second."
Love scammer + Love full of hatred and heartbreak + A scoundrel with a sincere heart + Rekindling an old flame + 1v1, both virgins
"Hatred is a hurt that swallows you whole."
"Two people who kept searching for what they had lost reunite in an old love."
