[Gentle, capable producer big sister × sweet-faced, black-hearted capitalist editor little sister] At their first meeting on a film set— Li Xingqing, the wealthy heiress, declared, “I’m just a broke college student working part-time to pay my way. Please take me in.” Xi Zhen, the actual producer, replied, “I’ve spent ten years scraping by as a low-level assistant. Please go easy on me.” And so began a romance built on mutual misunderstandings: I feel sorry for you; you pity me. They clung to each other, cramming themselves into their tiny “rental apartment” while acting out the kind of tragically devoted love story where, in the end, love is all that remains. Unfortunately, love didn't last. After the breakup, Li Xingqing boarded her private jet and left the country, while Xi Zhen moved back into her lavish villa and flaunted her wealth. Both were determined to prove the same thing: I’m living better than my ex. Five years later, they meet again at a banquet. Watching the drunken Xi Zhen, Li Xingqing's gaze turns icy, every look saying, See? You never found anyone better after leaving me. Then she slips an arm around Xi Zhen's waist and lifts her into her arms. “If you can't find anyone better... then come back to me, Jie.” At twenty, Li Xingqing met Xi Zhen. She was beautiful and enigmatic, like a flower blooming in the depths of night—so breathtaking it was almost heartbreakingly tragic. But Li Xingqing ran away, and in doing so, she lost Xi Zhen. When they meet again at twenty-five, she finally realizes she had been wrong all along. Xi Zhen was never a night-blooming flower with the luxury of dazzling briefly before fading away. She was a hardy mallow growing from a crack in the wall—small, ordinary, and steadfast against the wind. This time, Li Xingqing swears she'll behave.
