Synopsis:
Zhuo Yuchen is a businessman who puts profit above all else.
Wu Xue knew that when she was eighteen, but she still fell for him, unable to control herself.
The next time she saw Zhuo Yuchen was during the worst blizzard Beicheng had ever seen. Someone dressed her up meticulously and ushered her into a warm villa like a gift.
The man wore a black shirt and lounged lazily on the sofa, with a delicate beauty nestled in his arms, eating cherries.
He glanced at her indifferently. "Too young. I'm not interested."
But in the end, he kept Wu Xue by his side.
In the days that followed, he indulged her completely. She became the person who stayed by his side the longest, and the most special one of all.
Wu Xue thought so too.
Just as she was happily convinced her secret love had become reality and that life could stay beautiful forever, Zhuo Yuchen personally pushed her into someone else's arms.
In an instant, she fell into an abyss, enduring gossip and ridicule from their social circle.
When she went to Zhuo Yuchen for an answer, he held a cigarette between his fingers and tapped it lightly. A strange woman sat on his lap as he gave Wu Xue a casual glance. "What is it?"
And so, she gave up on him completely.

Then, one day, Wu Xue suddenly vanished from their social circle. No one knew where she had gone. Everyone assumed she was too ashamed to show her face and had gone into hiding.
But Zhuo Yuchen, the scion of a wealthy family, searched the whole city like a madman.
To no avail.
Years later, the two met again at the engagement banquet of a young heir from an influential family.
Wu Xue stood at the young man's side, sweet and affectionate.
Zhuo Yuchen blocked her way. His breath trembled as he gritted out, "I won't allow you to be with him."
Wu Xue looked up and laughed carelessly. "Sir, who are you? What makes you think you can meddle in my business?"
Much later, someone saw the distinguished Mr. Zhuo waiting all night outside a hotel room.
When Wu Xue woke up,
Zhuo Yuchen clutched her wrist tightly, his eyes glistening. In a hoarse voice, he asked word by word, "What if I'm willing to accept that he's in your life?"
