After breaking up with Gu Ming, her boyfriend of many years, Ruoxin did the most rebellious thing she’d ever done: she spent all her savings on a spur-of-the-moment trip. In Qingmu, she met Lu Jiang, who suffered from congenital insomnia. She had no idea that her natural fragrance could help him. By a twist of fate, the two of them did something in Qingmu that they shouldn’t have. He gave her his family’s jade pendant and said he wouldn’t take responsibility. She told him she only thought of him as a dog.
Two years later, she had to support her impoverished parents and deal with her older brother Xu Jian, who was always trying to bleed her dry. She also had two unexpected little burdens in tow. With no other choice, she sold the jade pendant he had given her in Qingmu to make ends meet. After arriving in Binhai, she overcame one obstacle after another to find a job, only to cross paths with him again. He became her direct supervisor. She had never been interested in him, so she kept her distance, afraid of having anything to do with him.
She kept trying to run away, but how could she escape his grasp?
After she sold the jade pendant he’d given her, someone happened to notice it. The truth Lu Jiang had been seeking slowly came to light. Neither of them could have imagined that their connection had begun twenty years earlier...
The male lead has suffered from long-term insomnia, leaving him irritable and short-tempered, but he’s sharp and capable. The female lead is independent and strong-willed, with a fierce sense of self-respect. She refuses to owe anyone anything.
