On the night Qin Suyin caught her boyfriend cheating, a torrential downpour left her with nowhere to turn. She knocked on the window of a luxury car parked by the road. The window lowered, revealing a man with an exceptionally handsome face.
That was also the night she learned she'd crossed someone she shouldn't have: the head of the He family, the most powerful family in the capital.
She kept to her place and played the perfect "canary in a gilded cage," using his influence to climb her way to the second tier of the entertainment industry. But people have their own desires. During all those years together, He Yanbai never understood romance, had no warmth for others, and never even said he liked her.
She thought the two of them could go on like that forever, but at a banquet she accidentally overheard that he was about to get engaged.
She wasn't the one he was getting engaged to.
Qin Suyin was furious!
She immediately packed up and prepared to run, but got into a car accident on the way. When she woke up, she'd lost her memory.
In the hospital room, He Yanbai stood by her bed and peeled an apple for her himself. His expression was gloomy, as if he might... at any moment.
Qin Suyin trembled, but couldn't help asking, "Handsome, who are you?"
He Yanbai: ?

After losing her memory, Qin Suyin learned that she had a fiancé. Until her memory returned, the man took care of her in every way, clung to her for a kiss every day, and was great at making things romantic.
She marveled at her good fortune, only for memories from years past to come flooding back the very next moment.
Once her memory returned, she feared he'd take revenge when he found out, so she tried to pack up and run again. But the door opened, and the man leaned against the frame with his arms crossed, asking lazily, "Where are you trying to run off to now, baby?"
Qin Suyin: !!!
