Qi Cheng was born into a family that combined military and business power. As the only son, he was expected to live up to great hopes, but he resented the identity imposed on him and was rebellious to the point of being unbearable. An Xueyou was an orphan from an orphanage, simple as a piece of ice on a mountaintop.
An Xueyou never imagined she would meet Qi Cheng, and Qi Cheng never imagined that one day he would accept the expectations placed on him, until they met in that run-down exhibition hall.
Beneath the locust tree, An Xueyou let go of Qi Cheng's hand. The next day, she boarded a plane for a foreign land. She knew she would come back someday.
