The year Li Fengmu first fell in love, she was young and naive, and had a crush on a bad boy from school who had supposedly "turned over a new leaf."

He got into fights and was cold and intimidating, yet admirers flocked to him one after another.

She thought she and He Ranjin lived in two different worlds and would never cross paths.

Years later, when they meet again, Li Fengmu is at a low point in her life.

Her first love cheated on her with her friend, she's lost her job, and money is tight.

She ducks into a quiet bar to escape the rain. On her third glass of hard liquor, someone unexpectedly stops her.

He listens quietly as she tells him what happened.

"Go ahead and drink. That's rough."

Li Fengmu: "..."

"Throw up on me and you owe me five hundred."

Li Fengmu: "..."

By a twist of fate, Li Fengmu ends up with an employer who is also her roommate.

Following the workplace rule against getting involved with her boss, she treats He Ranjin like a walking God of Wealth, friendly and respectful, yet distant.

Until one night, when the breeze stirs restlessly.

Li Fengmu's warm breath brushes the man's chin.

Just as she's about to stumble upright, she suddenly falls into someone's arms. He Ranjin, seated on the sofa, firmly catches her by the waist and slowly opens his eyes.

"...Are you sober?" he asks.

Li Fengmu nods slowly, looking completely sober.

The next moment, as if possessed, she leans in and kisses him.
