The young master of the Zhou family had never known much hardship.
He was born with an elegant, untroubled air, and he was as upright as they came.
Yet his work never won his teacher's favor.
Whenever he asked why, the answer was always that something was missing.
After a major upheaval that year,
Zhou Hewu's painting skills improved by leaps and bounds.
When the teacher asked about the reason in class,
not one of the students packed into the room dared to answer.
What reason could there be?
The once-glorious young Master Zhou had been dumped.

The renowned artist Buqun was holding an exhibition.
Every gallery was scrambling to land the coveted job.
Buqun was famous for the visual impact of their work: bold colors, yet perfectly balanced.
Countless big names had praised them by name.
They were also very low-profile and had never shown their face.
Taking on the job was the first thing Shu Minglan did after returning to the country.
Buqun hadn't chosen one of the major galleries. They had chosen her gallery, which was on the verge of closing.
Everyone said it was like a great Buddha moving into a broken-down temple: unbelievably lucky.
But when she saw Buqun in person, her first thought was:
This is dangerous.
Being your ex-boyfriend's contractor
really is dangerous.
Enchanting young woman vs. boy on a pedestal
Rekindled love / one-on-one romance
Reader's guide:
1. The romance is between adults. No underage characters appear.
2. If you're strongly biased toward the male lead, don't read this. It's better for everyone.
