Gentle yet fierce x cool-headed obsessive | The powerful one bows his head | A touch of regret and pursuit

When their marriage was nearing its end, Wen Lian thought back to the night she first met Fu Xinghui.
On the Mid-Levels of Hong Kong Island, she got lost and accidentally wandered onto a racetrack. Fu Xinghui rescued her, then took her for a drive to a lookout point.
"Not from around here?" His Cantonese was low and magnetic.
"Have you been to Victoria Peak? If not, don't bother. The view here is better."
Victoria Harbour glittered below them.
The hot breeze brushed her cheeks, but Wen Lian only stared at the young man beside her.
His long, narrow peach-blossom eyes were slightly narrowed, filled with laughter, reflecting a sky full of sparkling stars.
The flutter of her heart that summer lasted for years.
And now, the young man she'd loved for so long was sleeping beside her on the pillow.
They were legally married, with every right to be.
But what a shame that this marriage had ultimately been nothing but her own wishful thinking.
Fu Xinghui was a block of ice that would never melt. His heart had long been sealed away by the one he cherished.

The night he received the divorce papers, Fu Xinghui pinched the bridge of his nose and calmly asked one last question: "Have you made up your mind?"
He had faced every kind of storm. The waves in his eyes surged for just a moment. "Okay."
A cigar burned out in the night. Fu Xinghui stared at the sparkling ring on the table, never imagining that the nights ahead would be so hard to bear.
Wen Lian really was like a butterfly taking flight.
He searched the whole world, but could not find her.

Later, Wen Lian returned to the career she'd given up for him and rose to the top of her industry.
They met again at a banquet.
Outside the restroom, the always elegant and dignified president of the Fu Group pinned her against the wall and kissed her desperately. His reddened eyes were out of control as he pleaded, "Lianlian, give me one more chance, please?"
But there were no more dancing stars in her eyes when she looked at him.
Later still, Wen Lian's dance drama toured Xingguang Theatre in Hong Kong.
On a bitterly cold winter night in the unfrozen harbor, someone set off fireworks over Victoria Harbour all night long, sparkling just like the stars on the night they first met.

Fight with all your might to hold on to these sparkling stars.
Let them shine for more than a single night.
