Lu Qingye is my mother's friend. I love her.
Yu Guannan is the only child left behind by the woman I love. I have to protect her.
When Lu Qingye met Yu Guannan, Lu Qingye was twenty-eight and Yu Guannan was eight. That year, Yu Guannan's mother, who was also the person Lu Qingye loved most, fell into depression and died after being unable to leave her role following a film shoot.
Yu Guannan's father soon followed her. He left behind eight-year-old Yu Guannan, a vast company, and a pack of wolves eyeing it hungrily. Lu Qingye resolutely took on the child and the mess, and devoted years of love to Yu Guannan.
Yu Guannan's perspective:
Lu Qingye, are you only taking care of me for the money?
Lu Qingye, if you're going to pretend, you'd better keep it up. Don't let me see through you.
Lu Qingye, I was wrong. I'll give you everything. Please don't leave, okay?
Lu Qingye, I'm begging you. Please love me, okay?
Lu Qingye's perspective:
Yu Guannan, I'll protect you.
Yu Guannan, I think of you as my own child.
Yu Guannan, there's nothing between us.
Yu Guannan, I don't love you. I only think of you as my child.
