share time: 2026-03-05 00:35:21

Lin Wan and Cheng Yan were a campus couple, but Cheng Yan broke up with her cruelly on the eve of graduation, saying “I’m bored” and vanished. Three years later, Lin Wan became an investment banking elite and reunited with Cheng Yan during a project negotiation—he was wearing a faded shirt, squatting downstairs of his startup eating steamed buns, with debt collectors chasing him. From his friend, Lin Wan learned the truth: when her mother needed a huge sum for surgery, Cheng Yan secretly sold his patent and took out usurious loans to raise money. He made up the breakup excuse because he was afraid of dragging her down. When the truth tore open the past, Lin Wan looked at the down-and-out but stubborn Cheng Yan and realized that “parted ways for mutual happiness” was a lie hiding deep affection. Cheng Yan didn’t dare to approach her for fear of dragging her down with his debts, but Lin Wan firmly said, “You carried it for me back then, now it’s my turn to stay with you through it.” A belated confession made them learn to hug again in love and hate.
