Pei You is the gold standard in their circle. From spectacular success to tacky, low-class drama, he has done it all.
He is simply impossible not to love and hate at the same time.
His spectacular success came from ousting his own father and taking his place, then ruling the Pei family single-handedly. He kept a whole crowd of relatives so cowed they barely dared breathe. For a time, theirs was the most peaceful household among the powerful families.
His tacky, low-class side came out in the rumors that he willingly exiled himself to a remote region for three years for the sake of a woman in his early years. But no one knows how that romance ended. All anyone knows is that it began with a bang, and when it was over, Pei You was the only one who came back, all alone.
Qiao Zexi was an illegitimate daughter of a wealthy family, hidden from public view. She got together with Pei You when she was twenty.
For the first three years, they were inseparable. Starting in the fourth year, they acted like sworn enemies whenever other people were around. Everyone said their relationship was as hostile as fire and water.
Later, Pei You spent two years clawing his way to the top, and the two of them got back together, unable to completely let go of each other, for another five years.
After ten years in all, Pei You told her, "We're breaking up."
Qiao Zexi didn't have many regrets.
She had played around until she was thirty, and she had given ten years of her life to Pei You.
That man had taken the best ten years of her life, but she had also been lucky enough to witness the most reckless ten years of his.
She thought that was the end of their relationship.
Until one night, Pei You knocked on her door and asked, "Pei Qian misses his mother. Would you come see him?"
