During her university exchange year, Xu Wanyu gets to stay with the Lin family thanks to a friend of her mother's.
The Lin family is a prominent clan in Lucheng, famous and influential, at the head of high society.
According to her mother, Lin Yü Kong is a top student, refined and polite, a darling of the heavens whom everyone adores. Her mother reminds her to be especially careful with her words and actions while staying in someone else's home.
But the first time Xu Wanyu sees Lin Yü Kong is at a private boxing club.
Dressed in black, Lin Yü Kong efficiently knocks down one challenger after another. His eyes are cold, despite the lazy smile on his face.
After cleaning the blood off himself, he turns and walks into an alley.
Their eyes meet. Lin Yü Kong isn't the least bit surprised. "What a coincidence."
He gives those last two words a teasing emphasis. "Little sister?"

Two weeks after arriving at the Lin home, Xu Wanyu kisses Lin Yü Kong while drunk.
In public, they're strangers, worlds apart.
In private, through countless lonely nights, Xu Wanyu's pale skin is covered with marks from Lin Yü Kong's caresses.
One day, after their secret relationship comes to light, it ends.
Everyone assumes Lin Yü Kong was the one who broke it off. After all, the difference in their status is plain to see.
But only their close friends know that Lin Yü Kong was the one who got dumped.
Xu Wanyu left the country without a word.

They meet again at a dinner between their families.
By then, Lin Yü Kong is a formidable force in business, the one person in their circle no one dares offend.
At the table, he's dressed in a black shirt, refined and gentle, with an air of noble courtesy.
The only time he loses his composure is when the private room door opens and he sees Xu Wanyu holding hands with another man.
During dinner, Lin Yü Kong makes an excuse to get some air and corners her in the stairwell.
Xu Wanyu doesn't even look at him. She tries to push past him, but the next moment Lin Yü Kong has an arm around her waist, holding her in place.
Hearing her fiance anxiously calling for her, Xu Wanyu bites Lin Yü Kong's shoulder and warns him viciously, "Let go, or I'll call for help!"
Through the glass, Lin Yü Kong meets the anxious gaze of the man she's supposedly with. He lowers his head and leans closer, looking at the wrinkled black shirt where she's bitten him. His voice is rough and arrogant.
"Call?"
"Want me to call for you?"
