In the seventh year of her relationship with Mu Yang, Yun Huan accepted his proposal.
Then, just before they could register their marriage, she accidentally discovered that Mu Yang had been emotionally cheating on her.
The woman he was involved with was stunning and alluring, with a sharp, capable air. Despite her young age, she was already an executive at the renowned Wen Group.
She had met Mu Yang through a business partnership. The two of them had endless things to talk about and felt as if they had met too late in life.
The woman had a first love she could never have. When she was suffering over her unrequited feelings, Mu Yang stayed by her side, offering comfort and protection.
When she was ill, he fussed over her and worried so much he could barely eat or sleep.
In front of her, he humbled himself to the dust, wishing he could bow down and serve her.
The moment Yun Huan learned the truth, she felt that the love she had given him over seven years had become a joke.
After breaking down, Yun Huan decisively ended their relationship, called off the wedding, packed her things, and moved out.
That day, rain fell in a fine drizzle. She stood by the roadside with her luggage, waiting for a car, when a black business van pulled up beside her.
A tall, slender man stepped out. His skin was pale, his brows sharp as swords, and his manner cold, noble, and commanding.
He opened a black umbrella over her head and silently watched her for a long moment. When he spoke, his voice was low and husky. "Yun Huan."
"Do you need help?"
The man was Yun Huan's high school classmate and the current head of the Wen Group, Wen Jiayuan.
He was also the first love that Mu Yang's affair partner could never have.

After their breakup, Mu Yang begged her to take him back again and again. Her family urged her to forgive him, saying she would be hard-pressed to find someone better.
Distraught, Yun Huan went to a bar to drink her troubles away, where she unexpectedly ran into Wen Jiayuan.
After hearing what was troubling her, Wen Jiayuan took the initiative and asked, "Would you consider marrying me?"
Yun Huan stared at him in shock.
They weren't close enough for something like that.
Wen Jiayuan put down his glass. "We can take our time building a relationship. If you agree, I can promise you this: I will be absolutely faithful to our marriage."
Yun Huan asked why he wanted to marry her, expecting him to say something about his family pressuring him to settle down.
Wen Jiayuan gazed at her, his eyes deep and resolute. "I've never thought of marrying anyone but you."
After high school, he hadn't had the chance to confess.
This time, he didn't want to miss his opportunity again.
