Is there someone in this world whose memory makes the soft spot beneath your second rib on the left ache until you can hardly breathe? If Heaven gave you a chance to be reborn, would you still want to meet him?
Synopsis:
At eighteen, Gu Yegge meets Wu Junyang, the legendary young genius CEO of the business world, at the wealthy household her mother marries into. He can't stand her, and she doesn't like him. On the night she celebrates his birthday, he loses his mind and destroys her life…
[Reborn, five years earlier]
He is Wu Junyang, the refined, captivating, and absolutely faithful brilliant, legendary CEO of Ding Tian International. His father is a wealthy tycoon and his mother a powerful politician. He is ruthless and decisive in business, and calculating and cold by nature.
She is Gu Yegge, an outstanding law student, graceful as a lotus and cool as ice. She is confident, incisive, and conscientious at work, with a heart as unyielding as stone that keeps men at a distance.
In this life, reborn with her memories, there is one person she never wants to see again: Wu Junyang.
But when she takes on her first legal case as a trainee lawyer, representing someone else, she runs into the one person she least wants to see in her life: Wu Junyang!
Her composure, coolness, and intelligence nearly crumble at the sight of the man Heaven has so clearly favored.
She avoids him; he pursues her.
He cherishes her, cares for her, indulges her, and gives her everything. If she wants it, he would pluck the stars from the sky for her. Before meeting her, he had never loved anyone. Now that he has fallen for her, he can't bear to let her suffer even the slightest grievance.
He thinks that as long as she is by his side, he will protect her and see her safely through any danger, even if the road ahead is a mountain of blades or a sea of flames.
He thinks happiness is within reach, but one day she boards a plane bound for a foreign country without even looking back…
[Three years later]
In the same place, under the same circumstances, they meet again. He walks past coldly, and she leaves without a flicker of emotion.
Now, to her, he is a butterfly from a dream in Zhuangzi's garden; to him, she is no longer someone he loves, and he no longer treats her tenderly.
When he loved her, she was the treasure in his palm, too precious to let the wind touch or the rain fall on. He was afraid she would melt if he held her too tightly, or break if he held her too carelessly.
When he stopped loving her, she meant nothing to him…

She sobbed, “I'm not leaving.”
He said, “Go. Don't come back. Please, let me live.”
She cried, “I don't want to leave.”
He said coldly, “Yegge, let's break up.”
She asked, “Is this really what you want?”
