It was a young love in our naive years, but it caused a great uproar due to the difference in family background. Meng Heping, born into a prestigious family, tried hard to support his relationship with Jiaqi, but she turned away with the most resolute gesture.

Others, however, couldn't accept it. Suddenly, Ruan Zhengdong entered the scene like a mystery—a domineering and elusive figure, possessing a distinct temperament different from Meng Heping. Is he a hidden avenger or a playboy in this worldly game? In the bustling city, the three cross paths. Whether elite businessmen or sons of the privileged class, in the face of love, they are just ordinary mortals. No matter how capable you are in manipulating the world, love reveals that subtlety is inferior to foolishness.
