[Blurb]

With an extremely controlling mother, Li Shoutan grew up gentle, obedient, and sensible. There were only two things she ever did against her mother's wishes: retake the college entrance exam and become a wildlife biologist, and fall in love with Zhao Wu, the only person who supported her dream.

The price she paid was that, for decades afterward, mother and daughter never once spoke to each other with a smile.

But Shoutan had no regrets. Those two choices were among the few happy moments in her 27 years of dutifully obeying her mother, so she worked ever harder and devoted herself to her relationship.

Yet just as her years-long romance was about to reach its happy ending, Li Shoutan accidentally caught her boyfriend cheating and attaching himself to a rich woman. The rich woman even turned the tables on her, threatening to drive her out of Jing City.

Her career ground to a halt, she had nowhere to live, and her love had become a joke she'd told herself... In a single night, Li Shoutan lost everything she had been proudest of.

To get revenge and protect herself, Shoutan reluctantly tried to seduce her boyfriend's boss and use him for her own ends. But she was out of her depth, and the ruthless big shot of Jing City's elite circle instead took her by force. His reason for refusing to let her go was ridiculous: apparently, Shoutan looked a lot like the unattainable love he'd spent years searching for.

What a coward, what a coward!

Forget it. The best plan is to run.

Everyone in Jing City knew that people who dared deceive the big shot met a miserable end. But Shoutan didn't care. She was only a substitute. So what if she ran? There were plenty of people around him eager to take her place.

She refused to believe that a big shot who was always busy and ruthless would hold a grudge against a little nobody like her.

And yet.

On the vast, boundless grasslands of East Africa, Shoutan stared in shock at the familiar, handsome face before her, utterly bewildered...

The next second, the big shot, whose face was usually as impassive as an icy glacier, cornered her in his arms with red-rimmed eyes.

"Still running." He gritted his teeth. "Li Shoutan, you blind fool. Do you know you were supposed to be my first love?"

?

???

So after all that, she wasn't a substitute for his beloved, she was the beloved herself?

Li Shoutan: Wait, how come nobody told me about this huge promotion?

...So this is actually the story of a blind princess saving a timid mermaid, only to be loved in return? (Not really)

The beginning:

- "Taking someone by force? That's so tacky, Miss Li. I never do that."

- "Then what do you want?"

- "I want you to give yourself to me willingly."

The middle:

- "Mr. Meng, you said taking someone by force was tacky."

- "I've changed my mind."

"If I can't take you by force, I'll wear you down."

The end:

- "Sweetheart, if you say I don't know how to love, then love me properly and tell me what... love is."

- "You're the only person in the world who can't abandon me."

...So you could also say this is the story of a big shot who habitually tried to train a dog, only to get trained into a dog himself, and who was delighted to be his wife's one and only dog, right? (Very not really)

The breeze stirs the petals on the branches. That is how my heart felt when I met you.
