[Poor, top-ranked student from the mountains vs. rich young master with nothing but money]

1.

For all three years of high school, Lin Chuhe secretly kept an eye on Li Chengchuan.

The boy was dazzling in every way, from his family background to his looks.

He was like the morning star hanging in the sky, guiding Lin Chuhe as she struggled to catch up to him.

But all that beauty shattered at the party on the night after the college entrance exams.

With snacks she'd bought for Li Chengchuan in her arms, Lin Chuhe stood dazed outside the KTV room and clearly heard him say with disdain:

“Her? She's just a little tagalong of mine. So provincial, but at least she works hard and never complains. She's pretty useful.”

2.

Seven years after graduating from high school,

Lin Chuhe was forced to return to this city steeped in painful memories.

At a chance gathering, she saw Li Chengchuan for the first time in seven years.

He still had that perfect face. Only she knew that inside, his heart was rotten and putrid.

As they passed each other,

Li Chengchuan gave her the warm smile she knew so well and patted her shoulder with casual familiarity.

“Chuhe, long time no see.”

Lin Chuhe, standing in seven-centimeter heels, looked him straight in the eye. With perfectly manicured fingertips, she brushed off the place he'd touched as if in disgust, then took a step back as though avoiding a plague carrier and frowned impatiently.

“Sorry, sir. Who are you?”

3.

The third young master of the Li family had always been elegant and gentle as a breeze.

Yet on the day Lin Chuhe left Lin City, he let go of the pride and self-control he'd maintained for thirty years.

He clutched her luggage, looking haggard, and sank down helplessly on the ground.

Before everyone's eyes, he reddened with emotion and begged in a hoarse, tearful voice,

“Lin Chuhe, please don't leave me. Will you?”
