1. Yan Shu has a fiance. Her grandfather says her fiance is the gentlest, most courteous man in the world.

After meeting her fiance, Fu Ye, Yan Shu lets her guard down around him completely.

Only later does she realize that beneath Fu Ye's cool, handsome features lies nothing but indifference.

A few weeks later, her family calls: "Where have you gone? Your fiance, Fu Ye, is here to discuss the wedding. Get back right now!"

The ambiguous kiss marks on her collarbone haven't faded. Yan Shu looks at Fu Ye beside her, slowly twirling a lock of her hair around his finger, and shrinks into a corner, trembling. "Y-you... who are you?"

The man leans over, his eyes full of devotion and determination. "I'll take care of that other guy for you. From now on, I'm your fiance."

Oh no, she got the wrong man!

2. Fu Ye is someone no one dares speak of in Chize City. Everyone fears his ruthless ways.

He flouts all convention. People say he has no family ties and is a madman.

One day, Fu Ye turns Chize City upside down, searching high and low.

People whisper: Could there be some ancestral treasure buried beneath our city?

Which enemy has crossed him this time?

A few days later, people notice a delicate young woman in Fu Ye's arms.

A blade traces a graceful arc in his hand. As it rises and falls, warmth enters his usually cold eyes. He says indulgently, "Come on, open up. Mango."

3. Ever since she was little, Yan Shu has been told that she'll marry the young master of the Fu family, to whom she was betrothed as a child.

By chance, she meets her fiance for the first time. Perfect looks! Perfect figure!

Hoping to grow closer to him, Yan Shu follows him around like a little shadow.

Fu Ye: "Why do you keep following me?"

Yan Shu blinks. "I'm your fiancee."

Fu Ye: "You dare try to trick me into marrying you? Get lost!"

Later, it turns out Fu Ye really isn't her fiance... Yan Shu flirts with the wrong man and runs away in embarrassment.

Unbeknownst to her, the man behind her is furious and sees her in everyone.

*Not long after the engagement falls through, the Yan family holds a banquet to find a suitable husband for their daughter.

No one expects Fu Ye, young master of Chize City's illustrious Fu family, to show up.

Fu Ye is welcomed as an honored guest and considered a prime prospect.

But the Yan family soon realizes he's there to ruin the party. The assembled young noblemen take a serious beating to their pride.

Yan Shu thinks he's still angry about how she kept pestering him, and prepares to run.

"Little liar, try running again and see what happens."

"There can't be anyone but me."

A gentle brute who obeys only me.

At seventeen, Wen Yan is trapped inside the girls' dormitory at C City No. 1 High School when a fire breaks out.

Just as she's about to lose consciousness from the smoke, a boy carries her out.

He is reckless and bold.

He takes over her entire youth.

He is the secret she doesn't dare confess.

She works up a million times more courage than she has and tells him she likes him.

Shao Jialin: "I can't. Your brother asked me to look after you. I only see you as a little sister. Anything more would be out of line."

This year, Wen Yan is twenty-six. It's the fifth year since she and Shao Jialin broke up.

A fire breaks out at a chemical plant in C City.

Wen Yan, an emergency room doctor, knows this will be another sleepless night.

A patient is wheeled in. Her face, anxious a moment ago, turns expressionless when she sees the person on the stretcher.

Looking at the burn victim, she gives the nurse instructions without changing expression: "Cut off his pants and treat the wounds. I'll see the next patient."

Shao Jialin grits his teeth and forces out two words: "You do it."

Without even looking up, she says, "No. That would be out of line."

He has the dead flesh cut away with a knife, without anesthesia. The pain is excruciating.

Shao Jialin doesn't even furrow his brow.

But when he catches sight of Wen Yan smiling at a male doctor,

the man who has always faced life and death without fear, joking all the while, is afraid for the first time.

She'll never look at him again.

Theme: Seeking truth is more precious than possessing it.
