Lu Jiang had never known love, not from the moment she was born. No one had ever loved her. She had no idea what it felt like to be loved, and had never imagined anyone could love her. She wandered aimlessly through life, not knowing what the point of being alive was, unable to find release.
Then she met Su Chen. For the first time, she felt desire. For the first time, she realized the world really was full of color. For the first time, she thought that being alive was wonderful.
She was probably the person in the world who most wished Su Chen a smooth, safe, and happy life.
And yet she was also the one who destroyed the happy, peaceful life Su Chen had once had.
Lu Jiang wondered countless times afterward: if they had never met in the first place, would they have remained strangers? Would Su Chen have been spared so much heartache? Would he have kept living a sunny, happy life?
When Lu Jiang saw Su Chen at the company, she could hardly believe it. The sunny, cheerful young man she once knew had become so gloomy and cold that she could barely recognize him.

[Short scene]
Su Chen: "Be with me. I'm already the head of the Su family, and I've earned my doctorate."
Lu Jiang hesitated. "But..."
Su Chen's expression darkened. He gripped the back of Lu Jiang's head and kissed her, silencing her and stopping her from speaking.
Between kisses, Su Chen said, "If those lips of yours can't say what I want to hear, then don't say anything."
Theme: When someone begins to want to understand another person, it means they are ready to fall in love with them. In other words, understanding is where love begins.
