Blurb:

Meeting Song Shijian was an accident. My first impression of him was bad, and I took him for a playboy.

Later, in a library bathed in the faint light of dawn, Qiao Yinong woke from a dream.

She opened her eyes and saw Song Shijian. Still annoyed at being played in her dream, she blurted out:

"Playboy."

Song Shijian only laughed. With his handsome features and thin lips parting, he said:

"Then what do you call being in my arms?"

The weather was lovely that day, and Song Shijian confessed his feelings for her.

In the night, his eyes were deep, holding the tenderness of spring and the affection of a gentle evening breeze.

Qiao Yinong nearly drowned in his gaze.

A stray cat startled them, but Song Shijian didn't press her for an answer. He ruffled her hair and said warmly, "Give me your answer in the lecture hall the day after tomorrow."

Qiao Yinong never made it to their meeting.

She learned by chance that Song Shijian had someone else in his heart, his unattainable first love.

In the early hours of the morning, she received a brief text from him, just three words:

"I understand."

They met again backstage at an awards ceremony.

Under the cold white lights, his eyes burned with feeling as he demanded hoarsely, "Why can't you love me?"

Reunion after years apart / Mending a broken relationship

When Chen Li first met Jiang Jinghan, he was a model student who came to tutor her younger sister.

His cheap school uniform hung loose on him, and he looked clean-cut and sunny.

As the older one, Chen Li brought them cold drinks. When she handed one to him, their fingers brushed, like a static shock.

Chen Li could tell that beneath his calm exterior, he was a restless wolf with ulterior motives, so she hurriedly told her sister to stay away from him.

Her sister ignored her. "Sis, he's after you."

On New Year's Eve, Jiang Jinghan took Chen Li to watch the fireworks. Beneath the dazzling display, they stood close together.

Looking at Chen Li's gentle profile, Jiang Jinghan unconsciously lowered his voice. "From now on, I want to be with you on this day every year."

But Chen Li couldn't give him an answer.

-

They met again at a grand banquet. She was still an actress mired in scandal, while he was a distant, noble, and untouchable investor.

Her agent urged her to approach him and make a good impression.

Unable to refuse, Chen Li picked up a champagne glass and put on her charm.

Pretending to be strangers in front of an acquaintance was no easy task, especially with Jiang Jinghan, whose presence commanded attention.

Chen Li grew uncharacteristically timid and stumbled over her words time and again.

When she saw his cool, watery gaze, tinged with amusement, she tried to back away, but he clamped a hand around her arm.

"Need me to teach you how to cozy up to the powerful?"

Later, a drunk Jiang Jinghan shed his aloof, untouchable mask and pleaded humbly, "Please, just look at me."

What he didn't know was that Chen Li's unspoken love had long since flooded her heart.
