When Jiang Wan needed him most, Lu Wenzhou disappeared. She endured the heartbreak of lost love alone, weathered the upheaval in her family, and her spirit died the year her father passed away. Just as she was preparing to remarry, that man reappeared, this time under the guise of her "little uncle," determined to stop her. "Call off the wedding. Whatever he can give you, I can give you too." He remained as aloof and unapproachable as ever, but she was no longer the woman who would risk everything for love.

Towards herself—she was indulgent, flirty, constantly staging little romantic gestures, and never missed a chance to infuriate her dog-like fiancé and his mistress. She danced on the edge of Li Jingche’s patience every time, until Jian Qing finally crossed the line for real. Only then did she realize how dangerously unpredictable this quiet, enigmatic man truly was. “Li Jingche, mind your distance. We’re only cooperating for official business.” “Qingqing, didn’t you say before that you wanted ultra-thin, zero distance?”.
