After Xie Chirang wins the WEC international championship, his friends invite a popular band to perform at the celebration.
In the bar's glittering lights, Xie Chirang sits at the head of the table, a lazy smile on his face as his dark eyes watch Ge Qiudi pluck the strings of her bass beneath the spotlight. His friends joke that whoever can win over the beautiful lead singer gets a year of free drinks at the bar.
Xie Chirang drains his glass. No one knows that beneath the black lace glove on the woman onstage is a bite mark he left on her snowy-white wrist last night.
Halfway through the party, just beyond the private room door, Xie Chirang pins Ge Qiudi beneath him and trails lingering kisses along her sensitive, delicate neck. “What's going on? You won't even look at me?”
As two prominent figures at A University, Xie Chirang and Ge Qiudi have known each other for a long time. No one would guess that these two people, worlds apart, have been carrying on a secret relationship. Every Wednesday at midnight, Ge Qiudi leaves Xie Chirang's apartment in her black studded boots, never looking back.
Xie Chirang found fame at a young age. He is bold and carefree, and no one can catch his eye. Ge Qiudi is cool and aloof as the moon, easygoing and detached. She reminds herself that this relationship is only physical, with no feelings involved.
The night she decides to break up with Xie Chirang, Ge Qiudi calmly slips into a camisole. Her satin dress hides the rosy kiss marks on her chest. She only says, “Let's part on good terms.” Xie Chirang looks at her coldly and agrees to the breakup.
The neglected daughter of the Ge family, Ge Qiudi has always lived in her younger sister's shadow. She attends the engagement banquet between the Ge and Lin families with no makeup on.
Watching Xie Chirang bask in the attention, with everyone bowing and scraping before him, Ge Qiudi realizes he's the famous young master of the Lin family, born with a silver spoon in his mouth and bearing his mother's surname.
When the Ge family's pampered little princess, dressed to the nines, makes advances toward him, Xie Chirang remains unmoved. His lazy gaze passes over the crowd and settles on Ge Qiudi in the corner. He lifts his chin slightly. “I agree to the marriage alliance, but I only want the older sister.”
