Cool, gorgeous, tragic older woman × younger obsessive, devoted puppy × older possessive madman
Xian Zhi's perspective:
Three years ago, on a cliff in Tahiti, a woman in a red dress told him, "Just call me Can."
For seven nights, she taught him everything. Then she vanished while buying breakfast.
Xian Zhi searched for her for three years. He hired private detectives and even wondered whether she was just a hallucination created by his own fractured mind.
When they met again, she said, "You must have mistaken me for someone else."
He cornered her in a parking lot, bit her lip until it bled, and shattered his own disguise.
He said, "I hate you."
Xian Zhi thought their reunion was a second chance granted by fate, until he saw Wei Can and Xie Qing kissing in a secluded spot.
Wei Can's perspective:
She should have known Xie Qing would never let her go.
For twenty-two years, his overprotection had been a prison. He cared for her and controlled her, gave her everything and took everything away.
When word spread that he was to marry for the family's benefit, she thought her chance had finally come.
Those seven days in Tahiti were the freest days of her life. She thought she was only indulging in a brief fling.
She never expected Xian Zhi to plant a seed in her heart.
When they reunited three years later, Xian Zhi said he hated her, yet he had waited three years wearing her necklace.
She pushed him away because someone else had never let go of her hand.
Xie Qing's perspective:
His precious girl, his Can.
When she was sixteen, he took her out of the village and taught her everything.
She was obedient. She listened. She knew when to smile and when to keep quiet.
She was his eternal treasure, his most perfect creation.
Only when news of the marriage alliance was announced did he realize she had only been repaying a debt of gratitude.
Seven days was enough for a silkworm to spin its first thread of rebellion.
He took her away, thinking she had only strayed for a little while.
How could she, how dare she, bring someone else into the world that belonged only to the two of them?
