"The biggest blessing in my life was meeting you. The greatest misfortune was hurting you." — Ye Feimo

On the night she finally confessed her feelings, Wen Nuan entered the wrong hotel room—and woke up in the arms of a stranger.

Drunk, confused, and heartbroken, she never expected that one night to bind her to the ruthless and enigmatic CEO, Ye Feimo.

Xueru was very sad, shedding many silent tears.
