[A tsundere who won't admit it x a seductive beauty who doesn't know it]
The first time Wen Man met Jiang Mingzhi, he became the only person in her heart and mind.
A penniless young man with a backbone: with just one glance, he made everyone else look like dull background scenery.
He was full of lofty ambitions, like a blade about to leave its sheath.
Wen Man stayed by his side through the hardest years of her life.
Wen Man's first love began on an afternoon when her heart raced, and ended three years later in a wretched midnight scene.
Jiang Mingzhi's ghastly expression and the filthy, chaotic mess in the dim room marked the end of their three-year relationship.

Pei Jingchuan first saw Wen Man at an art exhibition.
She stared at the chaotic painting on the wall with the rapt expression of a pilgrim. Purity and desire mingled in her profile, backlit by the light.
Wen Man looked at it for a long time. Pei Jingchuan watched her for just as long.
Wen Man had a boyfriend.
Pei Jingchuan didn't find out until much later.
He also learned many other things.
The man she'd pursued had been with her for years, and she'd even put down her paintbrush, which she'd held for over a decade, for his sake.
She shouldn't have fallen for someone so awful.
But he knew he and Jiang Mingzhi were alike.
They came from the same background, were equally unscrupulous, and shared the same greedy desires.
The only difference was that Pei Jingchuan wanted only Wen Man.
