Blurb:

After Jiang Xiaozhi breezes through the Rising Star Dance Competition and wins first place, [Dingsheng Entertainment Co., Ltd.] instantly turns her into a popular star.

Jiang Xiaozhi thinks it is all because her childhood sweetheart, Cheng Jue, pulled strings and deliberately gave her a leg up.

It is only after Cheng Jue manipulates her, and she sees him flirt with others and scheme, that she realizes how naive she was!

As her husband Li Sheng, who has been hiding in the shadows, sets out to save her, win her love, and avenge her, she finds herself trapped in a maze of confusion.

On her journey to save herself, she never imagined that the man who would lead her out of this dead end had already sacrificed himself and fallen into the abyss.

She knows she'll never escape Cheng Jue's clutches, but what she feels even more is resentment and hatred.

For a time, she even doubts whether her husband Li Sheng truly loves her, but the truth proves that everything was an illusion.

The light of salvation has never left her...

#Marriage-phobic sweetheart / devoted straight man

#Sensitive and starved for love / obsessive salvation

#Mutual salvation / both virgins / rekindled love / showbiz

Li Sheng: "Zhi Zhi, you have to keep looking forward. Don't look back."

Jiang Zhi: "A good horse never turns back. I won't go back to Cheng Jue, and that goes for you too."

Li Sheng: "Too bad there's no mirror in front of you. You can't see me behind you."

Jiang Zhi: "..."

Li Sheng, seated in his wheelchair, grips her shoulders tightly and roars, his gaze lowered. "I want you to look at me, do you hear me? Look at me!"

Meeting his murderous gaze, Jiang Xiaozhi smiles scornfully. "I see you, Li Sheng. You're nothing special."

"Heh." Li Sheng relaxes his grip and scoffs, turning to gaze out the window at the setting sun. He sighs coldly. "That's quite a thing to say. Let's leave things like this for the rest of our lives!"

After she leaves, he braces himself against the windowsill and stands, his legs trembling as he watches outside, just to get one more look at her.

Li Sheng: Zhi Zhi, look ahead. Don't turn back.

On the eve of the new school year in his senior year, Ji Yan receives his mother's final ultimatum.

If he fails to get into a first-tier university after repeating his final year this time, he'll have to go home and inherit the family business.

Ji Yan walks through the drinks section of his family's shopping mall, fretting, and casually picks up a drink to carry toward the checkout.

A girl stands on tiptoe to stock the top shelf. Her shirt rides up, revealing a sliver of her slender, pale waist. He kindly tugs her shirt down, and gets himself into hot water.

When he meets Xia Yiwei again, she has become his deskmate, class monitor, and tutor.

Xia Yiwei: I'm a minor. I can't drink.

Ji Yan: Little shop assistant, does my family's supermarket treat you well?

Xia Yiwei: Very well. There's just a dog that loves barking.

Ji Yan: I, young master, would never like you.

Xia Yiwei: As if I like you!
