Description: Synopsis: Shu Qingwan and Rong Yin once shared a past. But she knew the gap between them was too wide, and there could be no happy ending. When rumors spread that his first love had returned to the country, she let go and walked away. After returning to China, as a highly popular inheritor of intangible cultural heritage, it was revealed that she was the star of the viral cheongsam video from years ago. With her jade-like grace and delicate waist, exuding both elegance and allure, Shu Qingwan’s popularity skyrocketed. During an interview, when asked about her past relationship, she didn’t avoid the topic, simply smiling and saying, "He taught me to let go of obsession and understand the impermanence of life." That day, he was there in person, watching her speak every word. She had stayed by his side for many years. But what he had truly taught her was to embrace desire, to crave deeply. Synopsis 2: Shu Qingwan was the long-lost daughter of the Lin family. After being found, her parents, feeling deeply indebted to her, treated her like a precious treasure. Seeing their son go from one relationship to another while their daughter remained single, they arranged a blind date for her. The suitor, having passed her parents’ scrutiny, was naturally exceptional. She thought there was no harm in giving it a try. But just as she made up her mind, Rong Yin suddenly appeared, saying to her, "Long time no see." The man, noble and aloof yet radiating an overwhelming presence, disrupted the scene, revealing his possessive and domineering nature in that moment. The rose he had nurtured with his own hands could only bloom for him. 【Mini Theater】 Rong Yin was famously known for his ascetic and cold demeanor. He owned a secluded mountain villa where he would often stay for months at a time, as his friends well knew. But suddenly, rumors began to spread that his mountain villa held a secret. He wasn’t there to cultivate his mind—he was hiding his beloved white moonlight! As the rumors grew, his friends became increasingly curious and finally decided to investigate while he was away. The plan went smoothly, and they successfully infiltrated the villa. What they didn’t expect was that their nighttime exploration wouldn’t uncover a white moonlight, but rather someone who had mysteriously disappeared for days— Seeing the figure in a flowing dress running downstairs barefoot, someone exclaimed in shock, "Qingwan?!" Rong Yin had seen her at her most devoted, loving him deeply. He had also seen her indifference when she said, "Mr. Rong, I will always have to marry someday." "I saw flames rise from a lonely mountain." Later. She became his unconditional love. 【Reading Guide】 1v1, SC (single couple), HE (happy ending), 5-year age gap, Beijing elite circle vibes, slight forced love.
