At eighteen, Li Heng'an was wild and willful. Everyone in Haiping City knew he was dating a penniless nobody.
Everyone waited to see how this unequal romance would end, but nobody expected Li Heng'an to be the first one cast aside.
The sincerity Li Heng'an gave at eighteen was exchanged for a check. The poor boy left town to make his fortune, and the passionate love they'd once shared was crushed to pieces, leaving nothing but a mess behind.
Li Heng'an never thought they'd meet again.
When they did, Li Heng'an was an uneducated playboy, while the other man had transformed himself into an industry star who had started from nothing and, at a young age, achieved one miracle after another.
At the banquet held to welcome this rising star, Li Heng'an watched the young masters and ladies, usually so proud and aloof, crowd around the man with ingratiating smiles, doing everything they could to curry favor.
He couldn't help sneering. Whether back then or now, he and Liang Jinshi were never going to walk the same path.
Li Heng'an turned to leave, but someone grabbed him. He turned with the motion and met a pair of bloodshot eyes.
"Suishui."
Li Heng'an impatiently shook off his hand, but the man refused to let go. He bent down and fell to his knees before him, pleading desperately: "Suishui, don't leave me."
