Zhu Cijing has far too many regrets.
At university, she was the most ordinary girl in the crowd: thick glasses, long bangs. Yet she fell for Fu Yan, the aloof campus beauty from a prestigious family.
Like a sparrow falling for a swan, she doggedly pursued Fu Yan for two whole years. The night she finally got her wish, she was so happy it felt like the stars had fallen on her. She never expected Fu Yan to break up with her the very next moment.
Only then did Zhu Cijing learn that Fu Yan had always loved someone else, a woman she'd secretly loved for years and was finally about to be with.
Zhu Cijing had been nothing more than an obstacle on their road to love, a way to pass the time.
After entering the workforce, Zhu Cijing had red hair and a bold, seductive look. She was all claws and teeth.
A beautiful woman like a sea witch, wearing a long coat and high heels, she sashayed from one date to another.
Yet one drunken night, she suddenly got a surge of courage and called her awful ex to give her a piece of her mind.
Then the following Monday, the client who showed up out of nowhere was none other than her awful ex, Fu Yan.
Director Fu was beautiful and elegant, standing out from the crowd like a black swan. But her cool, indifferent gaze was enough to make Zhu Cijing angry at first sight.
Yes, yes, Fu Yan came from a powerful family. She was like the moon in the sky, and everyone loved her with utter devotion.
But hadn't they agreed to cut ties for good? Why was her awful ex still coming to her, only to end up rolling around with her?
Their lips and tongues tangled in the dark. Gripping Fu Yan by the collar, Zhu Cijing glared through red-rimmed eyes and spat, "Fu Yan, you're nothing but a way to pass the time too."
Fu Yan simply gave herself over to her, kissing her intently. "All right."
Zhu Cijing has far too many regrets. She thought designer bags and a pretty face had hidden them well.
Until she met Fu Yan again.
"In my next life, I want to become a misprinted character, landing in a perfect love poem, so you'll be slightly surprised and seriously ponder the meaning of my existence."
