As a legal citizen of the Federation, Sui Yu studied literature at Imperial University. She was poor and miserly.

She carefully managed her scholarship and part-time wages, planning to devote herself to the study of ancient history for the rest of her life and become a poor but happy scholar.

In the Federation, living well was difficult, but getting by was easy.

Sui Yu thought she could happily muddle through life forever.

Until she met Chu Yuexing in a public lecture at Imperial University.

The Federation's youngest major general, a heaven-gifted scion of an elite family.

And Sui Yu's ex-boyfriend.

Five years ago, when Sui Yu was still an undocumented citizen of the Federation, she betrayed him.

Now Chu Yuexing recognized her at a glance and looked at her impassively.

Sui Yu: ...

In the first year after Sui Yu sold him out and he escaped death, Chu Yuexing hated her.

He had thought he'd given Sui Yu everything he could: the affection of his youth and his boundless devotion.

But it hadn't mattered.

The second year, he still hated her. He did everything he could to climb the ranks, hoping Sui Yu would see him and regret what she'd done.

In the third year, he began to worry about her.

With Sui Yu's unreliable, scatterbrained personality, had she actually been kidnapped?

In the fourth year, Chu Yuexing began to miss her.

He discovered, with great sorrow and despair, that he still loved Sui Yu.

He had saved up a great deal of money for the poor but greedy Sui Yu, and the mech he'd designed for her back then was finished, too.

In the fifth year, Chu Yuexing decided to try to forget Sui Yu.

And that was the year he found her.
