|Rekindled Romance|Radiant and proud × cool and devoted
At eighteen, You Wan met a boy named Bo Chuan.
His clothes had been washed so often they had faded white, and his collar was always buttoned right up to the top. His features were cool and reserved, yet so handsome she wanted to tease him.
She was taken by his looks and flirted with him relentlessly. Then, seeing his ears turn red, she feigned surprise. "Are you embarrassed?"
The boy lowered his eyes and said nothing.
You Wan leaned closer, smiling like a seductress. "Do you like me?"
Blushing, the boy took her hand.
She drew him into a forbidden spring night, and they clung to each other until neither could go on.
It was supposed to be an act, but then they made it real.
It wasn't until they were on a forbidden track that she suddenly came to her senses and calmly broke up with him.

Years later, they met again on a TV show.
You Wan smiled and held out her hand in greeting.
The man had shed his youthful awkwardness and now exuded mature charm. His expression was cool. "Miss You, are we close?"
As they passed each other, one man's hand was clenched so tightly the veins stood out, while the other had gone pale.

For certain reasons, the two unexpectedly became partners.
Their on-again, off-again interactions and casual flirtation on the show made it a massive hit, and the pair shot to the top of the most popular couples rankings.
Three months after filming wrapped, You Wan gave an ambiguous smile in an interview. "We're very good friends."
That night, the man cornered her downstairs. His fingertip brushed over the suggestive red mark on her neck as he let out a cold laugh. "Friends?"
He leaned closer, his warm breath brushing her neck. "You Wan, do you dare play me again?"
