[Prickly White Moonlight x Troublemaker Red Cinnabar, childhood friends | Reunited after a breakup | Love and hatred | Bittersweet push and pull, both leads have only ever been with each other]
After years apart, Xu Yi runs into her ex-boyfriend again. He's even more dazzling now, a top-tier star with tens of millions of fans.
And she has been exposed for pretending to be a stand-in bride to a wealthy family, left in a miserable state.
As their families try to pass the buck back and forth, Xiang Sui smiles at her nonchalantly. "It's just a marriage, right? Whoever you marry, you marry. How about me?"
Even as a teenager, Xiang Sui was carefree and languid. When he appeared in a remote county town, he was like a blazing sun, and countless girls threw themselves at him.
But he was unmoved, making an exception only for Xu Yi and offering her all his burning affection with both hands.
Xu Yi inevitably fell for him.
But just when she was most infatuated, Xiang Sui ruthlessly withdrew, leaving her with a cruel parting remark that trapped her in that hot, humid summer for six years.
After their reunion, Xiang Sui clutches his chest and looks at her pitifully. "My chest hurts when you ignore me."
Pretending is his most-used trick.
Xu Yi tells herself not to fall for it.
The more he acts like he loves her one second, the more heartless he can be the next.
