Bewitching heiress X aloof, jealous sweetheart
On the day the college entrance exams ended, Shu Yun made a bet with a friend in her family's luxury car and hit on a boy who had just walked out of the exam hall.
The boy was named Lin Ji, and he was just like his name: tall and slender, handsome and quiet, with a faint air of detachment.
Shu Yun thought plenty of girls must have pursued him, but his romantic history was a blank slate. He quickly fell into her sweet trap.
But Shu Yun was going abroad to study in two months. Her relationship with him was nothing more than a game.

During the time Lin Ji was with her, he often sensed that something wasn't quite right
When they went on dates, she always turned her phone face down on the table.
She often met up with all sorts of friends, but he only knew one of them.
He wanted to change his social media background to a photo of her, but she impatiently told him to delete it.
There were more and more things like this, and he began to suspect that she was only playing around with him.
But their time together was so happy that he secretly resolved to outshine everyone else, so she would only care about him.
Just before university began, they were about to enter a long-distance relationship across countries. The night before, he had parted from Shu Yun with great reluctance. The next day, they even kissed at the airport. But on the very night she arrived abroad, she deleted every way he had to contact her.
He tried every possible way to reach her, even flying overseas, only to see her smiling brightly as she held someone else's hand.

Years later, Lin Ji had become a rising star in the tech industry when he ran into Shu Yun again at a business reception.
She wore an elegant white satin gown, dazzling and dignified, with one arm linked intimately through an investor's.
Unable to settle his emotions, he went to the rooftop for some air. Then the voice he had longed to hear for ten years came from behind him.
"Lin Ji, long time no see. Did you miss me?"
All his carefully maintained composure crumbled at once.

One day after they got back together, he drove past a bar and saw her chatting and laughing with a male college student whose temperament was the complete opposite of his. He got out of the car at once and stood in a shadowy corner, his heart aching with jealousy.
When the young man finally left, he strode over and gripped her wrist tightly, his voice a little hoarse.
"Xiao Yun, have I done something wrong lately? Have I been working too much and not spending enough time with you, or did you not like the gift I picked out...?"
Shu Yun gently nipped his lip.
"Don't overthink it. I was just playing along with him. You're the one in my heart."
