Blurb:
From the age of two to twenty, Zhao Xiao and Jiang Lan have known each other for eighteen years.
From the boy next door to her first love, the favored darling of heaven loves only her.
Every bit of her radiance is tied to him.
Their quarrel before the engagement was sparked by a set of photos that spread like wildfire: intimate pictures of Zhao Xiao with another boy.
Zhao Xiao cheated on him and fell for someone else.

Years later, Jiang Lan returns to China, driving a luxury car with his new girlfriend past the company building.
At a convenience store by the road, he sees Zhao Xiao sitting by the window, taking one bite after another of her bread, her eyes tired and her head bowed in dejection.
A sense of satisfaction rises in his heart.
They run into each other again at a friend's nightclub, amid the midnight revelry.
Slightly tipsy, dressed to show off her figure and wearing glamorous makeup, Zhao Xiao smiles as she runs her hand over a man's washboard abs on the dance floor.
Jiang Lan watches expressionlessly. His satisfaction freezes over, too.
Zhao Xiao goes with her supervisor to meet a client. She's dressed to impress for the project, never imagining she'll run into her first love at the drinks table.
Jiang Lan gives her a once-over, disdainfully pushes her glass aside, and says flatly, "Who are you?"
Zhao Xiao's face flushes red. "Mr. Jiang, I look forward to working with you."
He lights a cigarette and gazes at her through the pale blue smoke.
In a nutshell: CEO romance, childhood sweethearts, rekindled love
Theme: Love is patient
