Xu Yang first met Huo Baiqing in a bar restroom.
She was cleaning the restroom when a customer at the bar harassed her.
Huo Baiqing happened to pass by. The moment the customer saw him, he stopped what he was doing.
Huo Baiqing looked at the man with a distant, indifferent gaze and said, "After all these years, you still haven't gotten over your habit of going after respectable married women."

The second time Xu Yang saw Huo Baiqing was after she'd been fired from the bar and found a new job cleaning a villa in a wealthy neighborhood.
The owner hadn't come home yet. She was crouched on the floor, cleaning a hard-to-reach corner. A moment later, the bedroom door opened, and a pair of feet appeared in front of her.
She looked up and recognized the man who had helped her that day.
Awkwardly, she slowed her hand as she wiped the floor, wanting to talk to him.
He lowered his lashes, glanced at her, and walked away indifferently.
He probably didn't remember her or recognize her.
Of course. He saw so many people every day. How could he remember such an ordinary face?
-
She was so ordinary, so plain and uninteresting.
He had so many women around him, each one more dazzling and beautiful than the last.
And yet, from the very first moment he saw her, Huo Baiqing dreamed of her on countless nights.
He would go mad for her.
He would be unable to resist her.
