After graduating, Zhu Ruoxu happened to land a job at her ex-boyfriend's company. Their breakup had been ugly. Now, when they meet again, he's a rising star at the top of their industry. Whenever they happen to cross paths, he treats her like a stranger, so coldly it's as if she never existed in his memories. She thinks their paths won't cross again except for work. But just a few nights later, Fei Xinyao loses control, pinning her down. His eyes blaze with hatred and madness as he demands, "How dare you show your face in front of me again?" 2. Everyone in the industry knows that Fei Xinyao, Hong Kong's rising financial star, is cool and arrogant. His eyes never seem to notice anyone. He's an unattainable beauty on a high peak. But lately, a stunning woman has been appearing at his side. She uses his cards, lives in his home, and acts outrageously spoiled around him. When people wonder what their relationship is, someone in the know offers a hint: "They used to be desperately in love." 3. For a long time after their reunion, Zhu Ruoxu thinks she's insignificant to Fei Xinyao. When her friend hears this, they set her straight: "Fei Xinyao? Hasn't he loved you so much for ages that he'd give up his life for you?" Zhu Ruoxu suddenly remembers being quarantined at nineteen after contracting SARS. Thinking she was about to die alone in her hospital room, she woke up crying in the middle of the night to find Fei Xinyao sitting beside her bed. Through her tears, she told him, "I'm scared..." The young man said nothing. He simply pulled down his mask, heedless of the chance that she might infect him and cost him his life, cupped her face in both hands, and stubbornly kissed her lips again and again. He comforted her, telling her it was all right. It was all right if Zhu Ruoxu couldn't hold on, because Fei Xinyao would go with her. - Someone loves you in secret, more than he loves his own life. - When two beauties on high peaks collide, one of them is bound to give in first.
