After the Ji family went bankrupt, Ji Xingran woke up alone in the hospital following a car accident, with her memories reset to when she was eighteen.
The last image in her mind was from the night before: Fu Tangseng clutching the hem of her skirt, holding back his feelings, his bloodshot eyes overflowing with an uncontrollable, obsessive longing.
The image of the poor yet proud young man lingered in her mind.
Her family was gone. She had only Fu Tangseng left.
She found him at a banquet.
When a server led her in, the noisy banquet hall fell silent in an instant.
In a corner of the room, a man sat on the sofa with his hands folded over his knees. His shirt was buttoned neatly to the throat, and his dark eyes, like a deep pool, held a bone-chilling derision.
He looked at her and said quietly, "Ji Xingran, what game are you playing this time?"

Ji Xingran didn't notice anything strange. The moment she saw him, her heart crumpled with grievance.
She rushed over, sat on his lap, wrapped her arms around his neck, and pressed her lips against his ear, sounding delicate and pitiful. "A Sen, I'm scared."
"I don't have a home anymore."
The entire room erupted in an uproar.
Fu Tangseng clenched his jaw, veins pulsing at his temples. He should have thrown her off without mercy.
But his hand moved of its own accord to the back of her neck, and he pulled her forcefully into his arms.
He hadn't held her in seven years.

Ji Xingran never expected that Fu Tangseng, once just a poor boy, would become the formidable Mr. Fu everyone feared and respected.
But he'd always been that capable, so it wasn't really surprising.
She happily accepted this new reality. After only a few days of hardship, she was once again the heiress everyone envied.
Fu Tangseng spoiled her rotten.
But he wouldn't touch her. He always looked at her strangely, sometimes with hatred, sometimes with yearning.
"You don't love me anymore," she muttered.
"I love you," he replied, his voice quiet but firm.
That was until Ji Xingran uncovered the secret behind her family's ruin.
