[Well-behaved fake heiress x refined, villainous, dark, obsessive man in power]

1. Li Yang has lived by the rules for twenty-two years. The only rebellious thing she's ever done is fall for Shen Jiaxu, the golden boy.

She thought no one would ever discover her secret.

Until one day, someone grabs her by the waist and carries her into a dim private room. Outside, Shen Jiaxu is calling her name.

Inside, the man who's always been so refined and gentle holds her chin and slowly leans close to her ear, his voice languid. "Tell me, what would his expression be if I opened the door right now and he saw us kissing?"

2. At Nanshan Bridge, when an out-of-control car comes hurtling toward her, Li Yang thinks she's about to die. Then a pair of cold hands catches her.

The handsome man smiles at her. His eyes behind gold-rimmed glasses are astonishingly beautiful. He reaches out, revealing a tattoo above his pale wrist, and smiles with the serene air of a gentleman. "Hello, Miss Li. I'm Zhou Yanxi."

Li Yang thinks that's her first meeting with Zhou Yanxi. Then one day, on a whim, she opens the necklace that holds a secret and discovers that the love letter she'd written to Shen Jiaxu years ago has been replaced. The new letter is signed "Star."

And Zhou Yanxi's WeChat status says, "I'll take you to see the stars."

3. At first, Li Yang only thinks of Zhou Yanxi as the parent of one of her students. Later, after learning that he's her brother's good friend, she thinks they're already close enough. Then one day, Zhou Yanxi, who has asthma and always avoids smoking and alcohol, downs a glass of liquor in front of her. His voice trembles as he says, "Yangyang, could you turn around and look at me?"

That's when she realizes Zhou Yanxi is in love with her.

[If you can, please turn around and look at me too. - Zhou Yanxi]
