On that snowy night when he was seventeen years old, Shen Zhiheng fished Lin Ye, who was covered in wounds, from a pool of blood, and gave him a home and a bone-eroding dependency. At that time, they were each other's only light. Shen Zhiheng thought that he could protect Lin Ye for the rest of his life, and Lin Ye also believed in the words "I will never leave you behind."
But three years later, Shen Zhiheng personally sent Lin Ye to hell. The evidence of the family's overthrow was placed in front of him, and the witness was the person he trusted most; the once gentle embrace turned into cold shackles, Shen Zhiheng looked at him condescendingly, with only unfamiliar disgust in his eyes: "Lin Ye, you, a rat in the gutter, are not worthy of standing next to me."
Five years later, Lin Ye returned with a new identity and became the most difficult opponent in Shen Zhiheng's business territory. He handed over the cooperation agreement with a smile, but his fingertips dug into Shen Zhiheng's palm when no one was around: "Mr. Shen, long time no see, how are you?"
Old scores need to be settled, and new vengeance needs to be avenged. Lin Ye pressed forward step by step, vowing to let Shen Zhiheng taste what it was like back then. However, he discovered in repeated confrontations that the truth of the year was far more complicated than he imagined - Shen Zhiheng's struggle hidden under indifference, the loss of concentration when looking at his old photos in the middle of the night, and the "I'm sorry" buried in the snow.
Love and hate wrapped around the two of them like vines, getting tighter and tighter. When the mastermind behind the scenes surfaced and pushed them to the edge of life and death again, Shen Zhiheng blocked the fatal blow with his body and whispered in Lin Ye's ear: "This time... Don't leave again."
Lin Ye looked at the blood-stained white shirt and suddenly couldn't tell whether he hated the betrayer or the one he clearly hated but couldn't help but feel moved again.
Purpose: To explore redemption and reconciliation in the entanglement of love and hate.
