What Shen Qingli regrets most is perhaps spending one night with the man she had secretly loved for eight years, only to let him make her pay for it. From then on, Gu Heng became intimately involved with her at night while treating her like a stranger during the day. When he was about to enter an arranged marriage, Shen Qingli thought they could finally end their relationship. Instead, he took her back to his home. The Gu family was torn apart by old grievances. Even after Gu Heng was injured, he sent Shen Qingli away, yet repeatedly appeared again to protect her from danger. Shen Qingli thought she was nothing more than his plaything. Little did she know that he had fallen in love with her long ago.
