The first time Xin Mian met Chi Yu, she was wearing his floral beach shorts and climbing a tree to help his grandmother catch a cat.

As their eyes met, the orange cat smacked her right across the face in front of him.

He leaned lazily against the tree trunk and watched her. As he reached up to lift the cat down, his stern features came close, and the old scar at the peak of his left eyebrow made him look fierce and cocky.

She froze in fright, drawing a low chuckle from him.

Later, the lacy camisole Xin Mian had hung out to dry on the third-floor balcony fell onto the second floor.

Chi Yu happened to be standing on the second-floor balcony taking a call, and the white lace fabric landed over his wheat-colored hand.

The moment Xin Mian looked down, she clearly saw the mischievous, audacious glint hidden in his eyes.

Perhaps their temperaments were just too different. Whenever she embarrassed herself, Chi Yu always seemed to be there. She never wanted to meet those dark, deep-set eyes of his again.

Living under the same roof, Xin Mian avoided him whenever she could.

Until one morning...

When she slowly woke up, she discovered that she was in Chi Yu's room,

lying in bed

with him.

The memories of last night came flooding back, and alarm bells rang in Xin Mian's head.

Oh no, oh no, oh no!

Her first instinct was to run.

But just as she cautiously lifted the covers, one hand clamped around her waist, strong and sinewy.

The world spun. He pulled her straight back onto the bed.

His long arms and legs wrapped around her, trapping her completely.

He buried his face against her neck and breathed in her scent.

His voice muffled and indistinct, he said,

"You slept with me, and now you want to run?"

Synopsis below:

[Gentle, sweet darling × scheming male lead]

Wang Chu wakes up after a car accident having lost some of her memories.

Gazing at the tall figure at the end of the hospital corridor, his back turned as he talks on the phone, she asks the medical staff beside her, "Is he really my boyfriend?"

The staff nods emphatically. "The real deal!"

Fireworks burst inside Wang Chu's heart.

Oh my goodness!

Broad, straight shoulders, the lines of his back muscles stretching faintly beneath his black suit, long legs with perfect proportions...

Everything about him is exactly to her taste.

It's fine if she can't remember.

Feelings can grow between a boyfriend and girlfriend.

Seeing Zhou Jinyu's handsome face every day, how could she not fall for him?

Aside from often being left a limp mess in bed, Wang Chu has a very comfortable life after losing her memory.

Until...

She sees a surveillance video.

Only then does she realize that she didn't just forget one person.

In everyone's eyes, Zhou Jinyu is a born winner: decisive and ruthless, the Zhou family's heir, and a man who terrifies his business rivals.

No one could have imagined that a man like him would one day hesitate and suffer over a secret, doing one absurd thing after another to keep it hidden.

The day the secret is revealed, Wang Chu sobs until her whole body trembles, her eyes filled with hatred as she looks at him.

Zhou Jinyu holds her tightly in his arms. The stubbornness and possessiveness he has kept repressed for so long erupt completely.

He lowers his head and nuzzles her neck with longing, his voice trembling on the verge of madness.

"Chu Chu, you said you'd be with me forever."
