In her second year of living alone, Ming Zhao was struggling to make ends meet when she landed a big job. Someone paid her fifty thousand yuan to pursue Cheng Yu, a student at No. 7 High School.
At seventeen, Cheng Yu was born into a prominent family. Handsome and reserved, he was a celebrated young prodigy and famously hard to approach.
Ming Zhao spent three months setting a trap for him, never expecting to get caught in it herself.
When the truth came out, burdened by guilt, Ming Zhao could only leave a hurried "I'm sorry" before fleeing to another city.

A few years later, Ming Zhao had become a minor actress struggling to make ends meet, while Cheng Yu had taken over the Cheng Group and made a name for himself in Pingcheng's business world. Now the Cheng Group's CEO, he was understated, aloof, and untouchable.
They met again at a celebration banquet. Cheng Yu wore a well-tailored suit and looked handsome and refined. His conversation was polished, and he soon became the talk of the women there.
Ming Zhao was the only one who went out of her way to avoid him.
It was only after the banquet ended that Ming Zhao, alone, was caught off guard and pulled into a luxury car parked in the shadows. As she struggled, the man pinned her in a corner and gripped her chin, forcing her to meet his cool, mocking gaze.
Ming Zhao felt as if she were being strangled.
Cheng Yu slowly lowered his head toward her, brushed past her lips, and stopped by her ear. His voice was low and dangerous. "Ming Zhao, I haven't called time. You don't get to end the game early."
"A possessiveness he can't voice, visible only to you"
