The Kong family was on the verge of bankruptcy. Everyone thought the Kong family's heiress, Kong Yumi, would marry for the sake of her family's fortunes and wed Xie Yancheng, a man with powerful connections.
Who could have guessed that this icy, aloof young lady would elope with an obscure man a month later and show off their love ostentatiously?
Before long, the obscure man's secret identity was exposed. He turned out to be an untouchable rising tycoon in their circle.
Only after digging around did the gossip-loving netizens discover that Kong Yumi was the tycoon's unrequited love of six years! And in front of her, he was a loyal puppy, both wolfish and sweet, calling her "Sis" and always wanting to cuddle!
Aaaah!!

Everyone thought Kong Yumi was a socialite who had grown up with a silver spoon in her mouth. No one knew she hadn't returned to the Kong family until after the college entrance exams.
Only after the exams did Kong Yumi learn that she had been taken in by the Jiang family. When the Kongs came looking for her, they paid her adoptive parents in the Jiang family, and from then on, she had no further ties to the family she had lived with for eighteen years.
After returning to the Kong family, she found that her birth mother had died young and her birth father saw her only as a tool to exploit. Six years later, he had successfully molded her into a socialite who was beautiful on the outside and polished in every way. No one knew that the bright, bold girl she had once been had died the year she finished the college entrance exams.
When her father tried to force her into a marriage for business reasons, Kong Yumi, accustomed to submitting to everything, accepted without a second thought. But just then, Jing Wei appeared and pulled her out of her stagnant life.

Seventeen-year-old Jing Wei had nearly died on that rainy night. He was covered in bruises when a girl in a Third High School uniform charged out from the end of the alley, holding a club in front of him.
"Don't be scared, junior. Your senior's got you."
Later, the gang of outsiders cursed her as a lunatic and ran off. The club fell from the girl's hand, and her arm was still trembling.
She turned to look at him, her lashes damp with rain. Though they were strangers, she asked, "Does it hurt?"
His heartbeat thundered in his ears. It was the strongest sound Jing Wei had ever heard, and it came from her, as well as from within himself.
Six years later, he finally stood at the top. The first thing he did was find her. This time, it was his turn to protect her.
