☆ Blurb: On the last night before leaving campus in her third year of graduate school, the students gather for dinner.

Chu Xian downs a whole bottle of hard liquor. Taking advantage of the courage it gives her, she confesses to Fu Zhishi. "Senior, I'm so hopelessly in love with you that I'd never marry anyone but you in this lifetime."

The young man smiles. "You've been drinking, so get some rest. Don't talk nonsense."

Chu Xian's confession is rejected, and she leaves campus dejectedly.

Half a year later, Fu Zhishi travels to a neighboring city on business and runs into Chu Xian on the high-speed train. They are seated next to each other.

He recognizes her at a glance. "Chu Xian?"

She looks up at him, puzzled. "Sorry, who are you?"

Fu Zhishi: "..."

What happened to being so hopelessly in love with him that she'd never marry anyone else in this lifetime?

Hah! A woman's words are made to deceive!

Blurb: The Wen and Xie families have been family friends for generations. Their elders arranged a marriage between Wen Fansheng and Xie Yu'an, and the two have a written engagement agreement.

But after her father's investment failed and his company went bankrupt, the Wen family fell into ruin and was left with countless debts. Her parents couldn't bear the blow and took their own lives.

Eighteen-year-old Wen Fansheng takes the marriage agreement to the Xie family and offers to break off her engagement with Xie Yu'an.

The worldly Xie family members gladly agree.

But when Xie Yu'an sees the frail yet stubborn girl before him, he firmly refuses her request to call off the engagement.

Xie Yu'an: "There's no way I'm calling off this engagement. Not in this lifetime!"

Wen Fansheng: "..."

Childhood sweethearts, ten years of love.
