Si Nian was secretly brought home by Zhou Che.
For the first few years, they secretly lived in an empty house owned by the Zhou family.
Zhou Che nearly gave his life to save Si Nian.
The half he had left could be lost at any moment.
Si Nian begged him not to do it. Dying was fine, really.
That way, he wouldn't have to suffer so much.
So when death finally came, Si Nian wasn't all that sad.
The only person she couldn't stop worrying about was Zhou Che.
She begged him to live well.
And so...
Zhou Che kept "trying" to live.

When Si Nian opened her eyes again, she had arrived ten years in the future.
By then, Zhou Che had become the head of the Zhou Group, decisive and calculating.
He was no longer the boy whose eyes would redden whenever he saw her in pain.
Si Nian thought that was just as well. As long as he was happy, that was enough.
She avoided him and pretended not to know him.
She got a part-time job at a bar.
By a twist of fate, she fell into his arms.
"Big brother, it hurts. Can you blow on it for me?"
You wanted me to live, but, Niannian, do you know how painful it is to be alive?
Was I not good enough? Is that why I don't even deserve to go to hell with you?
