Li Manman has never been afraid of anything in her life, except being serious.
Born into the third generation of a wealthy family, she's rebellious and reckless, striding through life with bright pink hair. Becoming an entertainment agent was just for fun; taking over a factory and doing foreign trade was out of spite. She can do anything well, except when it comes to love. She believes in cutting ties cleanly: no getting involved, no owing anyone, no lingering attachments.
Ke Yi appeared on the most miserable night of her life in a gambling city. A Chinese-German boy, offered up as a bargaining chip, with eyes like a thin sheet of ice on a lake at the start of winter. She pulled him out on a whim, thinking it was just a good deed, a chance encounter.
But later, he stood on the runway in Paris, at the pinnacle of the fashion world, and then returned to Shanghai and made a home in her heart.
She says, "The free ones are often the most expensive," but quietly leaves a light on for him where nobody can see. He says, "This resource of mine is free," but puts his whole heart into it.
Neither of them believes in marriage. One offers a ring, and the other accepts it.
"I told my family I'm pregnant with your child." She smiles bleakly. "The lie will be exposed. What are we going to do?"
"Then let's make it true."
