Ji Rong had a secret she could never tell anyone. In her senior year of high school, she took advantage of someone's sincere feelings to improve her grades.
With everyone looking on enviously, she won the brightest star of all, then vanished without a trace the afternoon she submitted her college applications. No matter how desperately he searched for her, she never left the slightest sign of where she had gone.
Later, she got into the university her neighbor, the older boy she had grown up with, attended. There, she watched helplessly as he showered another girl with tenderness.
Her deep affection dissolved into nothing, and the promises he had once made landed like a resounding slap, shattering all her hopes.
Four years passed in the blink of an eye. After graduation, she settled into an ordinary job and started dating a man everyone thought was a good catch.
Life was quiet and steady, until she ran into the person she had felt guilty about for years at her boyfriend's cousin's wedding.
Song Huaichu had once loved someone. She was like a ray of warm sunshine, brightening his lonely, desolate heart. He had eagerly planned their future together, only to be cruelly betrayed just as his wish was about to come true.
He searched the whole world for her like a madman, only to discover that everything had been a carefully laid trap. She had made a fool of him, leaving him battered and bruised, a laughingstock.
Afterward, he severed his ties to love and hid in the shadows, like a lofty creator silently manipulating her fate, watching her fall into the abyss and dragging her down with him.
As love and hatred tangled together, even he, watching coldly from the sidelines, gradually lost control. It turned out that if she would only turn back, he would still throw himself into the flames for her, just as he had before.
