After their parents each remarry, Liang Yibai moves into the old family home in Jiangnan on her own. By chance, she runs into Jiang Ji, a newly risen basketball superstar.
The young man is flamboyant and rebellious, calling her name from downstairs every day.
Liang Yibai is a little tempted. "Jiang Ji, I hate being followed by paparazzi."
"All right." Jiang Ji bows his head to help her put on her shoes. "I'll go back to the team now and ask to make our relationship public, then I'll stay with you."
Liang Yibai smiles and nods, but after waiting a full three months, she sees him announce his marriage in the media.
Liang Yibai's heart turns ice-cold. No matter how Jiang Ji tries to make her stay, she only sneers. "Get lost. I'm not interested in being someone else's mistress. Keep bothering me and I'll ruin your reputation. Got it?"
"..."
Liang Yibai doesn't think there's anything wrong with being single.
She just feels lonely.
So, to add some excitement to her birthday party, she spends ten million to rent a yacht and hire a group of top male models, each 188 centimeters tall with eight-pack abs.
Wearing a skimpy camisole beneath the neon lights, Liang Yibai has a grand time with a man on either side of her.
Until a coat lands over her head.
Before Liang Yibai can get angry, someone scoops her up in his arms.
His familiar scent wraps around her, making her heart race.
The man kicks open an empty room and pins her against the floor-to-ceiling window, forcefully holding her hands behind her back.
He's tall and broad-shouldered with a slim waist and thin lips, utterly outclassing Jiang Ji.
"Little drunkard, didn't you say we'd meet at the top? Three years, and this is how far you've gotten?" He smirks faintly, biting her earlobe until it hurts.
Oh, it's Shi Jingzhi, her sworn enemy.
Liang Yibai wants nothing more than to kick him away, but the alcohol has gone to her head.
In the end, he kisses her until she can barely breathe.
**
Meanwhile, her ex-boyfriend Jiang Ji also arrives at the yacht during the birthday party.
He regrets everything. If Liang Yibai still loves him, he can deign to consider divorcing his wife for her.
