[Rekindled love + amnesiac tycoon + faking her death to escape + groveling to win her back + sweet and heartbreaking + one-on-one]

The first time Xia Xiaoxi saw Zhan Xingyu at her steamed bun shop, she fell for his looks.

The neighbors warned her, “He may be handsome, but he’s blind. Marrying him will only burden you.”

Xia Xiaoxi held a bun in her hand and smiled, her eyes curving. “That’s all right. I’ll take care of him.”

She worked from dawn till late at night at her shop and scrimped and saved to pay for his eye treatment. Life was hard, but Xia Xiaoxi was happy enough with love alone, and she never begrudged a thing.

Then one day, a line of black cars stopped in Shuangxi Town, drawing a crowd.

Only when Xia Xiaoxi saw Zhan Xingyu surrounded by bodyguards did she learn that he was the young heir to Beijing’s Zhan Group.

And he was holding a beautiful woman in his arms, said to be his childhood sweetheart and fiancée.

Zhan Xingyu, the young heir to Beijing’s elite, returned in force after three years in exile.

Cold-hearted and ruthless, he believed that power could give him everything.

He kept Xia Xiaoxi by his side, convinced that no matter what he did wrong, she would never leave him.

But when he finally stood at the top of the world, he had lost her forever.

The day Xia Xiaoxi died, heavy snow fell over Beijing. A figure knelt in the snow, hunched over like an old man.
