"Sometimes it's about remembering and never forgiving."

Jane Devold, the only daughter of the CEO of one of the most successful tech companies in the country, grew up to be a seemingly happy and spoiled young woman, despite her stuttering and fragile condition. 

However, her rich and elegant way of living ends in a heartbeat when her father goes missing, leaving Jane alone and with an enormous debt on her hands. 

That's when she reunites with Vernon Lin, her strange and intimidating senior from college, who claims to be the new owner of her father's company and promises to resolve her financial issues if she agrees to marry him.

His offer seems harmless, and Jane accepts his helping hand only to realize that Vernon's intentions are not so pure, and his personality is still miles away from that of a knight in shining armor.

But what really does feed Vernon's unhealthy obsession with Jane? Whether it's his desire for revenge, his own twisted way of teaching the spoiled young woman how the real life works, or unresolved complicated feelings, he still succeeds in turning Jane's life into a living hell.

Until he realizes that without her, his own life is hell, too.

The soft fabric of the silk blue ribbon felt nice and cool between Jane's warm fingers. She raised her hand in front of her face and took a better look at it - it was as wide as two of her fingers and just long enough to be wrapped around her neck twice.

'And I'm supposed to embroider you how?'

The girl fidgeted with the silk ribbon for a few more moments before finally crumpling it in her fist as if it was mere trash. The thought of presenting it to someone as obnoxious as Vernon Lin was irritating enough and yet, Jane felt a strange sense of exhilaration, mainly because it was a bizarre experience that she would probably never have again.

The woman turned around as she heard Jane's trembling voice and offered her a curious but still kind look.

"What is it, Miss Jane? Would you like something to drink?"
