Jiang Zhu has been keeping an eye on Sang Jingxian for a long time, because they belong to two different worlds.
Sang Jingxian is exceptionally good-looking, with long, narrow eyes. Whenever he opens them wide, he looks innocent and adorable. At such a young age, he has already landed a position that took Jiang Zhu years of grueling effort to reach.
Sang Jingxian is warm and humble. He is also the son of a powerful family, making him far more popular than Jiang Zhu, who comes from a poor background and pretends to be aloof and unattainable. Even the colleagues secretly in love with him praise Sang Jingxian and go out of their way to get close to him.
After years of struggle, Jiang Zhu has only just reached the starting line of the wealthy. This leaves him furious with resentment, and every day he can only soothe his bitter envy by telling himself that Sang Jingxian has gotten where he is solely because of his family.
Jiang Zhu has always believed himself to be the best among his peers, until an enormous debt suddenly dropped out of the sky and landed on his head.
A friend whose loan he had guaranteed fled with the money, and even took out another loan before leaving. The massive debt nearly crushed Jiang Zhu. He was forced to quit his job, had nowhere to go home to, and spent every day in fear and anxiety.
With nowhere else to turn, Jiang Zhu went to Sang Jingxian and begged him. He said he would do anything, as long as he could pay off the debt.

"Senior, you begged so many people. How come I was the last person you thought of?"
Sang Jingxian complained in an affectionate tone, as if he had been waiting for this moment for a long time. He took a contract from his drawer, one he had prepared well in advance, and watched with a beaming smile as Jiang Zhu's eyes widened in disbelief. In the end, Jiang Zhu signed it with a trembling hand.
