Blurb

Zhou Yi is a born winner: brilliant at school, carefree, and uninhibited.

So when news gets around that he's dating the utterly ordinary Tan Jing, the students at Jing University are left completely stunned.

Everyone guesses that Young Master Zhou has spent too long being the center of attention and just wants to try living a more down-to-earth life.

And the outcome doesn't disappoint.

When he breaks up with her, Zhou Yi is blunt. "Tan Jing, I don't want you anymore!"

Years later, Zhou Yi is a successful young entrepreneur in Shangqing City, riding high and living wild.

When they meet again, Tan Jing calmly and composedly walks past him without a flicker of emotion, not even raising her eyes.

Zhou Yi suddenly realizes that Tan Jing has truly moved on.

Once he understands this, something in Zhou Yi snaps, and he goes out of his way to create chances to run into Tan Jing.

He even deliberately sabotages her dates!

After several clashes, Tan Jing, usually so cool and composed, finally can't take it anymore and reminds him, "We've already broken up!"

Zhou Yi pauses, then leisurely pulls out a cigarette and lights it. In an infuriatingly casual tone, he says,

"So what if I regret it?"

In high school, Zhou Zhi is an excellent student, well-behaved and sensible, the quintessential "other people's kid." Chen Shiyu, carefree and unruly, lives without restraint and even has a criminal record for fighting. They belong to completely different worlds.

By chance, their paths cross, and the young man's image is etched in Zhou Zhi's heart, becoming an unattainable first love she can never stop thinking about.

Then, in her second year of high school, Zhou Zhi sees Chen Shiyu in her class again, and the sound of her heart falling for him rings clear as day.

Zhou Zhi has seen him at his worst, fooling around, and at his lowest, overcome with grief. She refuses to believe he's the bad student everyone says he is.

On her eighteenth birthday, she gathers her courage and confesses to him. Chen Shiyu responds with barely concealed impatience. "I'm sorry. If I did anything before that made you misunderstand, I apologize. But could you please keep your distance from now on?"

The girl's dream shatters, leaving her heart in pieces. She lowers her eyes and bites her lip, not daring to look at him.

"I understand. I won't bother you again."

Years later, they meet again. Chen Shiyu is now the successful head of an aerospace materials company, and Zhou Zhi has become an excellent surgeon.

After a small mishap brings them together at a hotel, Zhou Zhi carefully hides the last remnants of her feelings. She composes herself and speaks in a strictly businesslike tone.

Chen Shiyu knows she is treating him like a stranger. He takes a slow drag of his cigarette, the smile on his lips fading little by little.

At a high school reunion some time later, nobody expects Chen Shiyu, who usually can't be bothered to attend any gatherings, to show up. The others surround him like he's a star, vying to buy him drinks. He entertains them distractedly, but his gaze keeps drifting toward Zhou Zhi, seemingly by chance.

Zhou Zhi can't be bothered with him and simply walks away. But he refuses to let it go and follows her out.

Under the hotel's dim, intimate lighting, the man's face is alluring and seductive as he corners her against the wall. Chen Shiyu's voice is low and dark. "I take back what I said."
