#Like is meeting your match; love is willingly surrendering#

1.

At seventeen, Wen Chu moved with her mother into a detached villa on Shanhai Road.

Her mother’s boyfriend, at least by name, pointed to the rebellious boy in his home and introduced him with a smile:

“This is my youngest brother.”

By their family’s reckoning, she was supposed to call Lin Shu “Uncle.”

Wen Chu and Lin Shu were worlds apart.

Wen Chu was obedient and well-behaved, an excellent student, the good child in everyone’s eyes.

Lin Shu was wild and vicious. Outsiders said he was a living demon from a family of scholars.

2.

Wen Chu followed the rules for seventeen years,

then, in that damp summer, her heart stirred and she turned the world upside down.

The young man was dark and dazzling. He took her mountain climbing and out to sea.

Where no one could see them, Lin Shu was a firework in the mist.

But just as she was about to touch the dawn, she received a message from her mother.

“Something’s happened to Lin Kaiyuan.”

“To keep us from getting dragged into this, we have to leave the country tonight.”

The Lin family’s fortunes shifted. The once-infamous young master suddenly became the most legitimate heir.

That day, Wen Chu watched from afar as he got engaged to the daughter of the Ji family.

At last, she understood that this was probably the final lesson he would teach her.

3.

Years passed.

He had long since risen to power, commanding countless resources, still as dignified and unruly as ever.

Then, the second he saw her, he lost his composure, his eyes turning red.

“Miss Wen, long time no see.”

Everyone said that the great man of the Lin family was about to marry, and they speculated about which society beauty would win the heart of this aloof flower on a high peak.

Just as years ago, no one would ever have connected her with Lin Shu.

No one knew that this proud man had endured countless days and nights of torment for a lowly little weed that, in everyone else’s eyes, had grown wild and untended.

“I taught you many things.”

“But there’s one thing in this world that makes no sense.”

“I love you.”
