That summer, on the eve of a once-in-a-century downpour,
Song Ze'an saw the girl beside Chi Xu.
Chi Xu had told her, "Wait for me a little longer. I think we still have a chance."
But beyond her sight, he was also sharing another girl's youth.
Song Ze'an's youth came to an end on a summer night when she gave Chi Xu a slap.
Years later, Song Ze'an saw Chi Xu again.
One was now a hot-and-sexy influencer and university lecturer; the other, a shrewd, capable lawyer at a prestigious celebrity law firm.
In the dim car, Lawyer Chi, so aloof and self-possessed in the eyes of others, kissed Song Ze'an without restraint.
Song Ze'an remained cool and casual:
"Whether it's you or someone else I'm kissing today makes no difference to me."
Song Ze'an wanted to leave this dark figure from her memories behind, but Chi Xu pulled out every trick in the book, making sure she was impossible to ignore in Song Ze'an's life.
When everyone had bought into Chi Xu's image as a devoted lover,
Song Ze'an should have accepted Chi Xu again, just like every heroine in a romance drama.
Instead, she found herself trapped in an endless cycle of self-doubt.
Can other people's opinions blind you and beguile your heart?
Can you truly start over by forgetting the past?
Does every knot in your heart have to be untied for the ending to be perfect?
