Shen Yan's love for Su Nian was not "love at first sight", but "premeditated for a long time". He has been keeping an eye on Su Nian for several years. He has been collecting his paintings since he was in high school, investigating everything about him, and watching him from places he didn't know. The knife in the first volume is not in the open, but in the dark - the reader knows that this is a trap, but Su Nian does not. Behind every "accidental encounter", every "goodwill" and every "coincidence" is Shen Yan's careful planning.
Intention: Love without getting it
