Zhou Jin, the eldest daughter of the Zhou family, returned to China alone after living abroad for ten years. The task of receiving her fell to Cheng Chaoxue, the neglected daughter of a family that had been close to the Zhous for generations.
Zhou Jin was fastidious, aloof, and hard to deal with. She disliked physical contact with other people, yet she treated Cheng Chaoxue differently.
One day, something suddenly went wrong at Zhou Jin’s company in England. She came over specifically to say goodbye, only to overhear someone ask Cheng Chaoxue, “What do you think of Zhou Jin?”
Cheng Chaoxue’s expression remained gentle. She smiled and answered with a single word: “Annoying.”
Annoying? Zhou Jin narrowed her eyes.
Then who was the person who kissed her first last night?
Zhou Jin thought she had no tolerance for liars, yet she repeatedly let Cheng Chaoxue get away with lying.
It wasn’t as if she liked Cheng Chaoxue anyway.
Then she turned around and saw Cheng Chaoxue being intimate with someone else.
Unable to take it any longer, she grabbed her and shoved her into a corner. “When exactly are you going to break up?”

One lies to others, the other lies to herself.
The main story is told from Cheng Chaoxue’s perspective.
