*Main story complete, full text being polished

Chi Miao's eighteenth birthday was unlike anyone else's. Her stepmother forced her to drop out of school and arranged for her to "marry" a creditor around her father's age.

Anxious and tense inside, she kept a straight face as she hurried out of the house with the more than a thousand yuan she'd stolen and her ID card.

As she passed the auto repair shop by her home, she happened to meet the gaze of Huo Yan, wearing a sleeveless undershirt and covered in engine oil, disguised as a mechanic.

He didn't look like anyone special and rarely spoke. With his deep-set eyes, he seemed to coldly watch everything happening in the small town. But young Chi Miao couldn't help noticing him.

She thought of his beloved motorcycle. She'd heard it had an unclear history. Two heavy U-locks kept it secured beside the repair shop, and only once in a while did he get the chance to ride it slowly along the town's narrow, muddy roads.

As if possessed, when she met those cool, indifferent eyes, Chi Miao couldn't help pulling out her small wad of cash and lying to this man she'd never spoken to, without changing her expression.

"I'm going on a summer vacation. Could I hire you to take me along so I can see the world?"

*

In the end, Chi Miao never did get to see the world with him. After getting her out of danger, he carefully settled her somewhere safe, then let her start her life over like a wild weed. He returned to that world hidden from the light, risking everything for his ideals and justice.

But other people would always come to see what was special about Chi Miao. Years later, she would shine brilliantly in her field.

Huo Yan's adoptive father introduced her to another handsome, tall man. On the day the prospective match came to visit, he believed he'd finally fulfilled his promise to his adopted son. Crying and laughing, he downed several glasses of liquor and solemnly entrusted Chi Miao to the man.

Just then, the doorbell rang. Chi Miao used the excuse to get up and open the door, then stared in surprise at Huo Yan, who had arrived at her doorstep, travel-worn.

Years apart had made him even quieter and more reserved. Only his gaze remained deep and resolute. But when he looked at her, there was something decidedly improper in his eyes.

Huo Yan turned his head and silently looked past her at the warm, yellow light in the living room, where they seemed like a happy family of three. Then his gaze returned to the girl he'd thought about day and night.

"Miao, who is it?"

The prospective match asked from inside.

Chi Miao didn't turn around. Staring coldly at Huo Yan, she answered, "Nobody. Just a 'mechanic' going door to door trying to sell something."

Huo Yan's gaze burned. Years undercover had left him with a roguish air. He couldn't help sneering and lowering his voice. "Did you tell him that when we were running away, you clung to me, your 'mechanic,' and did all sorts of things you shouldn't have?"

Jiang Yu, living under someone else's roof, accidentally overheard Lu Peizhen making a phone call.

It turned out that the benefactor who raised her wasn't a benefactor at all, but the one responsible for her parents' deaths.

The moment she learned the truth, Jiang Yu made up her mind to give up her own life and make the other person pay the same price.

But things took an unexpected turn.

Her plan was exposed, and Lu Zhixu, the cold and heartless son of her enemy, decided to send Jiang Yu back to a remote village, where she'd be trapped in the mire and never able to leave that poor, backward place.

So Jiang Yu decided to change the target of her revenge.

From that moment on, every sweet word she said to Lu Zhixu was part of a revenge she'd carefully planned.

Hatred and desire intertwined in a web of lies. There was no way to tell what was real and what was fake.
