Lively, optimistic heroine vs. sharp-tongued, stubborn hero
Marriage first, love later | Reconciliation | He chases her after the divorce
At 22, Lin Xiyue has no choice but to marry Cen Ji.
Over the next six years, they grow ever closer and more harmonious.
Until Cen Ji tells her that his marriage doesn't need love.
Waking from a beautiful dream, she realizes Cen Ji never loved her.
Lin Xiyue leaves the divorce papers behind and goes abroad.
*
Cen Ji's life has always gone smoothly, and he becomes a senior partner at a law firm at a young age.
He takes nothing seriously, not even their divorce.
Until he comes home drunk to an empty, cold house, his mind filled with memories of the warm home they once shared.
In the photos Lin Xiyue sends from across the ocean, she's smiling just as brightly as before.
A dense ache belatedly rises in his heart.

Later, as snow fills the sky, Lin Xiyue is embraced from behind.
The familiar scent, the familiar voice, but now trembling with unfamiliar desperation: "Lin Xiyue, love me one more time."
