No Peace in Sight

Ten years ago,

Ning Rui met Jiang Xiuyin during an interview for student council recruitment.

He was refined and aloof, sharp-tongued and arrogant, the golden boy everyone adored.

Ning Rui knew they were worlds apart and could only admire him from afar.

He thought it was a hopeless, unrequited love. He never knew that his offhand words, "a passion for the light," had already won Jiang Xiuyin's heart.

Outsiders saw only Jiang Xiuyin's glamorous life, never realizing that he was trapped in childhood nightmares and spent sleepless nights.

Only by Ning Rui's side could he find a moment of peace.

One wanted to love but didn't dare; the other fell in love without realizing it. Just as they were about to confess their feelings, Jiang Xiuyin suddenly went abroad.

Ten years later,

Down on his luck, Ning Rui took a job spying on a company's trade secrets.

He prepared himself for the worst, but never expected that the person in charge of the target company would be the senior he'd kept in his heart for ten years.

When they met again, Jiang Xiuyin's gaze was cold and sharp. He treated Ning Rui like he wasn't there.

Ning Rui felt guilty, but still chose to stay.

At last, their old feelings rekindled.

But then the nightmare from years ago came back...
