Ruthless jeweler who rises to success × metaphysics master and pipa-playing little fairy
Ying Yan had seen Song Jin at his lowest.
The frail boy was forced to kneel for his tuition fees. He endured stomach pain until he collapsed, pale-faced, in the equipment room.
He was the undisputed top student, yet people treated him like a plague to be avoided because of his birth, as if that were his greatest sin.
The boy was gloomy and cold. The world had never shown him kindness, and he didn't love the world either.

Later, Song Jin rose to success and became a jeweler everyone envied.
He used every means at his disposal to force the girl who had once handed him a towel to marry him.
Song Jin thought he must be crazy to repay her kindness this way, doing everything he could to keep her by his side.
But without her, he might have died long ago.
Song Jin thought it was all just wishful thinking on his part, until his little fairy got drunk, looped her soft arms around his neck, hiccupped, and said sweetly, "Mr. Song, I've always liked you."

In a perilous tropical jungle, when Song Jin nearly died at a mine in Myanmar while searching for a pigeon-blood ruby, only one thought kept him going: he had to go back and see her.
He was a birch tree that had split stone to grow, rooted in the dark abyss in broad daylight.
And she was the only light piercing the long night, illuminating endless loneliness and desolation.
The fire of a gemstone shines forever, and so does this love.
