When she was young, Luo Jiuqing toyed with the feelings of an unlucky man.
That year, Ji Jinzhou was kicked out of his wealthy family amid a power struggle and had nowhere to go, so he stayed temporarily with the Luo family.
She tried to get close to him several times, but he rebuffed her, and she was so embarrassed that she got angry and decided to teach him a lesson.
So she went to great lengths to win him over.
Then dumped him right away.
Afterward, they blocked each other everywhere, and Luo Jiuqing thought their paths had finally diverged for good.
Until six years later, when she went to apply for a job and discovered her new boss had a familiar name.
Luo Jiuqing: ...?
**
Hoping to make her life easier from then on, Luo Jiuqing cautiously tried to win Ji Jinzhou's favor.
But a man who's been hurt in love can be terrifying when he turns cold:
He refused her gifts.
He rejected her feelings.
Her working life remained a living hell.
It wasn't until Ji Jinzhou asked her to fend off a matchmaking prospect for him that Luo Jiuqing finally realized there was no turning back.
As it happened, she'd found her inspiration again, so she brushed off her hands, quit her job, and returned to her old career.
One day, she was discussing a new event with her gallery partner, and they got carried away chatting for a while.
Her partner: "So you're not leaving? You're going to keep painting?"
Luo Jiuqing: "I'm staying. There's nothing out there for me."
When she turned around, she saw someone standing not far away, silently listening. She had no idea how long he'd been there.
Ji Jinzhou gave her a half-smile. "You give up halfway through pursuing someone, before you've even won them over. How is that any fun?"
