The first time Cen Xiaorui saw Li Qingyu was at a drinking party. At the time, Cen Xiaorui was a newcomer with no connections or backing. People trampled her into the dirt, calling her over to keep them company, nothing more than a dispensable decoration at the banquet.
Her agent told her to greet everyone. She swallowed all her indignation, softened her voice, put on a sweet smile, and obediently greeted them.
That was when Li Qingyu looked up at her, his gaze briefly wavering.
From then on, twenty-year-old Cen Xiaorui belonged to Li Qingyu.
Li Qingyu gave her a new name. “You debuted too late. Why not call yourself Xingwan? It means even starlight that arrives late is still in time.”
From then on, there was no more Cen Xiaorui in the entertainment industry. Instead, a rising young star named Cen Xingwan shone brightly, her future wide open.
Everyone thought that Young Master Li Qingyu would spoil Cen Xingwan, his sweet and obedient songbird, for the rest of her life. No one expected that just two short years later, rumors would spread that she had been thrown out.
Nobody believed it until the Li family announced an arranged marriage. Then everyone finally understood.

The night she walked away, a torrential storm swept through Jing City.
Cen Xingwan packed her things and left. She didn't look back as she closed the door.
But Li Qingyu had someone hold an umbrella for her and see her off. She couldn't help remembering what he had said when she asked to break up.
“Ruirui, I have to get married eventually. You always knew that, didn't you?”
Everyone thought Cen Xingwan would fall apart without Li Qingyu there to pave her way. Instead, she seemed to shed her shackles, and her career soared. She truly lived up to her name, Xingwan.
They met again much later, at another drinking party.
Li Qingyu sat across from her and watched. She smiled at the people around her and said, “We know each other, but I'm not close with Young Master Li.”
On the way back, just as Cen Xingwan was about to get into her male companion's car, a large hand full of possessiveness grabbed her and pulled her into an unfamiliar car.
In the dimly lit car, the man wrapped an arm around her slender waist without giving her a chance to refuse, trapping her in his embrace as he kissed her deeply.
Jealousy burned in those cool, aloof eyes that had always looked down on everyone. He gripped her chin and forced her to look toward the other side of the window, demanding, “Not close? Ruirui, does he know I kiss you like this?”
A young, powerful man who always stays in control vs. a beautiful, calculating actress

Theme: Just keep working hard, and leave the rest to time.
I don't know why it feels so awkward, I can't take it, it's neither sweet nor sour like a secret love, I feel like this relationship is worthless now, it's tasteless and I don't want to give it up.
We haven't gotten back together yet, so we fell in love again by mistake [covering face, laughing and crying]
Finally, we are back together again, but I always feel why this happyend is so melancholy. We were very close at the beginning, and we really love each other. After all the hardships, we finally got together again. Why do we feel like the person we love is completely unrecognizable? Yes, after Li Qingyu learned the truth, he treated Xingwan very well, very well, so well that he was beyond reproach. But why do I still feel suffocated watching it? Maybe it was because Xingwan was bearing all the pain, losing her child, being betrayed by her parents, being stabbed in the back by the second male lead, and being bullied online. Where was Li Qingyu? What have you endured? Apart from being emotionally stimulated when Xingwan was with the second male lead, what other hardships have you suffered? Even the parents' test was passed lightly because of his mother's illness. The so-called pursuit of a wife only requires showing up at the right time and using one's power and position to save Xingwan Yu Shuihuo again and again. Fall! Why is the female protagonist still the most tortured person in the crematorium plot? Ah?! Why ah ah ah! The plot of Li Qingyu's Crematorium was too easy to pass, which made Xingwan's forgiveness and final togetherness seem like a rationally weighed choice, rather than an irresistible love from the heart. Just... Well... Or as I said, love has become beyond recognition and not fragrant 😂
