One day, Shi Nian was skillfully bandaging her own wounds when she saw a familiar face at a press conference. The Xie family, one of the capital's top-tier star families, had found their missing heir. All she could hear was the name "Xie Shi'an."
Shi Nian had thought her life would simply go on like this. At seventeen, no one cared for or loved her. Only the boy named Shi An had been kind to her. A girl's first stirrings of love, though no, she had been quietly in love for a long time. The secret she had carefully hidden in her heart was suddenly exposed one day, and she did not even dare look at the sudden disgust in Shi An's eyes. Loving Shi An was a secret Shi Nian knew she should not keep, but did anyway.
Xie Shi'an, the capital's famous golden finger, could turn stone into gold, with a terrifying business acumen. He was an even bigger big shot than Old Master Xie. He kept to himself and shunned women. Only those who knew him well understood that Xie Shi'an was not asexual. It was simply that none of those people were Shi Nian.
Six years later, she met Xie Shi'an again. The man who had appeared in her dreams countless times was suddenly within reach, yet Shi Nian made the same choice she had six years ago: she turned and ran!
At the capital's airport, as Shi Nian was about to check in, a mass of people suddenly appeared. If she had not caught sight of the familiar figure standing behind them, she might have started fighting.
Shi Nian: "That's quite a show. Anyone who didn't know better would think you were catching an escaped drug trafficker."
Xie Shi'an's jaw clenched. His back teeth ground together, then relaxed. Shi Nian wouldn't have been surprised if he strangled her the next second.
After a long silence, the roiling emotions in the man's eyes suddenly died away. The strength seemed to drain from his body, and his voice turned hoarse and dejected. "Shi Nian, choose me just once. Please?"
