Just as Tang Peng gave up on Song Jinnian,
Song Jinnian fell in love with Tang Peng.
[Blurb 1]
Song Jinnian was practically the king of Macau. He was cold and unsociable, never smiled, and everyone feared him. Women came and went from his life, but no one could enter his heart. Tang Peng was the only one who stayed by his side the longest.
Throughout her college years, he spent an incalculable amount of money on her.
Jewelry, luxury cars, mansions. He gave her the finest gilded cage, but he didn't love her.
Tang Peng knew exactly what their relationship was. She also knew that she had been allowed to stay by Song Jinnian's side for two whole years as an exception because she was obedient and well-behaved.
When she learned that the Song family had arranged a fiancée for Song Jinnian,
Tang Peng was as sensible and obedient as ever. She packed her things and left of her own accord.
She packed her bags in front of him with her back turned.
Song Jinnian watched her and lit a cigar. "Are you sure?"
"I'll ask you one last time."
Tang Peng turned around, tears falling from her eyes, but she held her ground. "Mr. Song, if I told you that I'm as vulgar as those other women, that I fell in love with you when you treated me well, would you let me go?"
Song Jinnian thought she was stupid, absurd, and impossible to reason with.
So he congratulated her on graduating, then brought their two years together to an end.

When they met again, Tang Peng was at the stage of discussing marriage.
She had a man by her side who claimed to be her fiancé.
One late night, Song Jinnian pinned Tang Peng in his car.
Her face was expressionless, and there was no love left in her eyes.
Her composure hurt him. Jealousy consumed him, and he lost all reason. "Have you slept together?"
"What do you think?"
Tang Peng laughed at him. "Mr. Song, have you forgotten? He and I are the ones who have a proper relationship."
"Tang Peng!"
He roared, jealousy burning away his reason. "Leave him. I'll make things proper between us."
"Mr. Song, I don't want anything proper from you."
Tang Peng said, "And I won't love you again."
Her composure hurt him. For once, he humbled himself, his eyes red. "I'm begging you."
"Love me one more time."

Song Jinnian hated it when women used love to bind them together.
Because love made women jealous, possessive, hysterical, and irrational...
But he hadn't expected Tang Peng to be the rational one and himself to be the one who lost control.
He was the one who was jealous, possessive, and going crazy.
They're both the stubborn sort who are soft-hearted deep down!
Both are virgins! Both are virgins! Both are virgins!
Theme: In a person's lifetime, true love can only be found once.
