Xu family's third son is a notorious playboy in the capital, always shamelessly doing whatever he pleases. Then a foolish young lady throws herself into his arms, proclaiming that she will marry no one but him in this life.
Everyone sighs that the young lady must be blind, yet she is perfectly happy, going out of her way to please the third son of the Xu family.
Alas, though one side loves, the other is unmoved. The third son of the Xu family is as hard-hearted as iron. He gives up his former debauched ways, shuts the young lady out, and shows her not the slightest mercy.
At a banquet, his rowdy friends cannot stand to watch and advise him, “Third Young Master Xu, why not just take her in?”
Lying in the arms of a beauty, the third son of the Xu family toys with a fan and replies nonchalantly, “I'm not interested. I could marry anyone in this life, but I would never marry her.”
In a corner where no one notices her, Jiang Li stands in the shadows and hears every word.
Later, the people of the capital notice that the young lady who always used to chase after the third son of the Xu family has disappeared. They sigh, “She finally saw the real face of Third Young Master Xu.”
The third son of the Xu family happens to be passing by. He stops, his expression more awful than anyone has ever seen. She was the one who came after him first. What gives her the right to leave whenever she wants?
Later still, the third son of the Xu family fears nothing under heaven, except the tears of his precious darling.

When Xu Yunjing was ten, he found a grubby young girl in Xizhou. On a whim, he doted on her for seven years, until he came to regard her as his own little sister from the bottom of his heart.
That was precisely why he found it so hard to accept when he realized he had developed feelings for the girl he had raised himself.
Xu Yunjing fled Xizhou in a panic and returned to the capital, trying to bury everything that had happened. He never imagined that three years later, someone familiar would burst into his arms, making a lawless racket about wanting to marry him.
