*Marriage before love / contract romance / rekindled love / secret crush comes true
[1]
Yu Yan and Wen Li are known throughout Beijing's upper circles as the perfect married couple.
Wen Li is a music superstar who rose to fame at a young age, as well as the true power behind the Wen Group. He's a top-tier player, driven by desire and ambition.
He's cultured, refined, noble, modest, and well-mannered. Even the way he flicks ash from a cigarette is elegant and easy on the eyes.
He holds her in the palm of his hand, giving her the tenderness and affection everyone envies.
It's both temptation and taboo.
Only Yu Yan knows that outsiders haven't seen the whole picture.
He can wrap an arm around her waist, bite her earlobe, and gasp that he loves her. But if she accidentally breaks a vase and gets pricked by a rose inside, nourished by blood, he can also seize her chin and look down at her condescendingly.
"You dirtied my flower. How are you going to make it up to me?"
One is composed and cold-hearted; the other is infatuated and insatiable.
Their so-called perfect marriage is nothing more than a contract.

Their friends all know that Wen Li's marriage to the eldest daughter of the Yu family is a power match, nothing more than a business deal in which both sides get what they want.
Later, the contract expires.
Wen Li leaves the entertainment industry to go into business, while Yu Yan goes abroad to continue her studies.
The following year, at the Grammy Awards,
Yu Yan takes home four awards, becoming the night's biggest winner.
Dressed in a black gown, with dark hair and red lips, she stands beneath the dazzling spotlight, noble and proud, radiantly beautiful and icy.
News that she's returning home with her younger boyfriend to take part in a cohabitation reality show shoots to the top of the trending list.
The fountain pen in Wen Li's hand snaps in two.

"Yan, I took your husband's place. He won't get mad, will he?"
"Yan, it's all my fault. Don't let me cause trouble between you and your husband."
"Yan, my heart aches for you. We really do understand each other. I didn't mean to make you break up with him and be with me, but if it were me, I would never treat you like that."
