Wen Zhou always tells people she's never dated, but she's kept a secret for a long time:
She actually had an online relationship, and the other person was her high school classmate.
So when she plays Truth or Dare at a party
and hears that classmate casually say he'd never dated in high school,
Wen Zhou doesn't think much of it. After all, it was just a bit of make-believe fun in a game back when they were students. It hardly counted.

Qi Wang is a rising star in tech, a heaven-blessed talent, brimming with confidence.
At a business dinner, his ex, whom he hasn't seen in years, suddenly appears in his line of sight.
A friend sees him unusually distracted and teases him: "Finally figured it out?"
Qi Wang's fingers curl involuntarily. Keeping a calm expression, he replies, "My ex-girlfriend."
Five minutes later.
The ex he's talking about walks toward him with her arm linked through another man's.
Wen Zhou puts on a polite social smile and extends her hand. "Mr. Zhang Wang, welcome back to the country."
Qi Wang: ...
Friend: You actually know her? Were you just bragging?

One day, Wen Zhou finally finishes a dull blind date and returns home, exhausted. The instant the motion-sensor light comes on, someone suddenly pulls her into an embrace, plunging her into darkness once more.
A man's voice sounds beside her ear, cold and low, as if calmly reproaching her:
"Wen Zhou, all you know how to do is toy with me like I'm a dog."
"Fine, I'll be your dog. But where's my title?"

Bonus scene:
In the hot, stuffy room.
Wen Zhou can no longer stand how clingy the person beside her is and tries to push him away. "Can you stop for a second?"
Qi Wang runs a hand over her flushed lips and suddenly says hoarsely, "Your ex-boyfriend could do that. I can't."
For the 108th time, Wen Zhou declares, "Aren't you my ex?"
He ignores her and pulls her closer. "You want to break up?"
"In your dreams."
