Yi Han's ex-boyfriend, top-tier star and singer Xiang Michen, leapt from a high-rise an hour after releasing his new album. The news broke and dominated multiple trending searches.
What was dug up next was the unfair treatment Xiang Michen had suffered while alive.
He worked hard at rehearsals, only to have all his footage cut. He was drugged before a concert and forced to go onstage, unable to sing, then mocked and smeared online. He was later blacklisted and shelved. Only then did Yi Han realize how stupid his self-appointed decision to do what he thought was best for Xiang Michen had been.
The plane carrying him home to see Xiang Michen crashed.
When Yi Han opened his eyes again, he was lying in a hospital room after being hit by a flowerpot, and time had jumped back to before he first met Xiang Michen.
When he saw Xiang Michen again, the cold face, unfamiliar expression, indifferent gaze, and slightly impatient attitude toward him didn't last long. Xiang Michen was easy to pursue and easy to coax. Yi Han barely had to try before the man himself surrendered and let down his guard not long after.
In their previous life, they got together directly, with barely any time spent in the ambiguous stage. This time, Yi Han effortlessly used the push-and-pull game of playing hard to get, and poor Xiang Michen was manipulated like a puppet.
Preventing them from falling in love was less important than stopping the tragedy from happening again. To keep Xiang Michen from going down the same path, Yi Han did everything he could to keep him away from that building.
Work? He turned it down.
A contract? He paid the penalty.
The company put on pressure? He took Xiang Michen and ran off to strike out on their own.
They opened a studio together.
They won in both love and career.
After Yi Han had stopped him several times, Xiang Michen deliberately asked, "Why won't you let me go to Zhiling Tower?"
Yi Han answered jokingly, "I'm afraid you'll lose heart and end your own life."
"With you here, why would I want to?"
After they started dating, Xiang Michen got jealous over every little thing. He was easy and hard to placate at the same time. A box of condoms was enough to make him behave, though the result was that Yi Han ended up a little sore.
The hard part was that this guy was impossible to reason with. Once he got jealous, he didn't care about anything else. He acted like a kid who'd never grown up. After having to coax him a few times, Yi Han noticed something was up thanks to how well they knew each other.
Rather than being hard to placate, Xiang Michen was getting revenge.
At night, after Xiang Michen had just finished wearing him out, he watched Yi Han give up struggling in exhaustion, then rubbed his cheek against Yi Han's ear like a husky about to tear the house apart. Half-asleep, Yi Han heard him say, "Han-ge, dumping someone comes with a price."
