Yan Jue returned home after three years of study abroad, only to get into a car accident that very day. When she woke up, she discovered that the world she lived in was actually a book.
At the same time, the emotionless electronic voice of the book's narrator sounded in her ear.
Narrator: This is the first time she's been alone with Tang Congzao since their engagement. For a moment, neither of them speaks. But when the man's familiar yet unfamiliar presence surrounds her, her heart, calm for three years, begins pounding for him once more.
Facing the male lead, Yan Jue touches her chest and checks her heartbeat. Why is it beating even more slowly?
Narrator: Tang's mother treats Yan Jue as if she were her own daughter, affection practically spilling from her eyes.
Yan Jue looks into those seemingly loving eyes and sees the calculation hidden beneath. A chill runs down her back.

Lu Zhi was born in Yangcheng and raised abroad. No one had ever seen him, yet everyone knew of him. His family background was one of the top three most melodramatic among the old-money clans.
Rumor had it among the wealthy families that the Lu patriarch, despite being ninety years old, refused to step down because he wanted to hand the position to his youngest grandson, Lu Zhi.
When Lu Zhi returned home, everyone waited to see the first family of Yangcheng tear itself apart from within.
But the man looked young and roguish, while his methods were swift and ruthless. In no time, he stripped his father and brothers of their power and secured his position as head of the family.
Everyone praised Lu Zhi for keeping a low profile abroad and doing whatever it took to gain fame and fortune.
They didn't know that he had only returned to win back his runaway girlfriend. Fame and fortune were just a bonus.

The day the truth came to light, Yan Jue regained her memories.
The person she'd tried to push away and resist was actually the boyfriend she had never broken up with.
She still remembered him watching from afar as she linked arms with another man, saying nothing.
Was that green hat a little too firmly planted on his head?
