Years after their breakup, Jiang Jinyue returns to Nancheng and sees her ex-boyfriend, Shen Jibai.

As the head of Huayue Group, Shen Jibai acquires the company where she works and becomes her boss.

The man acts swiftly and ruthlessly, announcing a list of layoffs that very day.

In the elevator lobby, Shen Jibai passes her without a second glance, as if they'd never known each other.

A friend comes to the office to visit Shen Jibai and recognizes Jiang Jinyue at once. "Isn't that your ex? Planning to rekindle the old flame?"

Shen Jibai lifts his eyes slightly. "Do you think I have that kind of free time?"

One day after they get back together, Shen Jibai goes on a business trip. Bored at home alone, Jiang Jinyue accepts a friend's invitation to travel.

But Shen Jibai comes home early and sees her suitcase, mistaking it for a sign that she's about to leave without saying goodbye.

The man grips her wrist. "Are you breaking up with me again?"

That night, by the floor-to-ceiling window,

Shen Jibai strokes the nape of her neck, asking again and again to be reassured.

"Tell me you've never forgotten me."

"Whenever I see her, I lose control. The warmth she left behind still lingers."
