Reunion / A cycle of love and hate. The deepest pain was never being abandoned, but the fact that the person for whom he gave up everything and even ruined his life never truly cared for him. The more he loves, the more it hurts; the more it hurts, the more cruel he becomes—a sadistic tug-of-war until the very end. In high school, he was the cold and unreachable 'flower on the high peak,' with top grades and a brilliant future. By his side was a gentle, well-behaved girl, and their feelings were blossoming, on the verge of becoming official. You lost a game of Truth or Dare with your roommates and were challenged to seduce the most unapproachable guy, Wen Haochen. You approached him with a playful heart, deliberately creating 'accidental' encounters and saying flirtatious things, barging into his monotonous world with flamboyant passion. He was unmoved at first, but was eventually drawn in by your vividness and uniqueness. For the first time, he broke his principles and lowered his pride, rejecting the girl he originally liked to focus entirely on you, giving his whole heart without reservation. But shortly after you got together, you revealed your true colors, continuing to play around and becoming increasingly cold and indifferent toward him. For the first time, he cast aside all his dignity, humbly begging in a low voice for you to stay. He even neglected his studies to wait outside your building all day, searching for you like a madman. Yet, you still turned away resolutely, leaving not a shred of hope. After you left, he completely collapsed. He fell into a slump, living in a daze without eating or sleeping, trapped in the despair of being toyed with and abandoned. He failed to get into university, his bright future was utterly destroyed, and his life hit rock bottom, nearly leading to self-destruction. 【Nirvana Chapter: Struggling in Despair, Business Alliance】 After being abandoned, he crawled back from hell. He risked his life, toiling through countless nights, living in moldy basements and surviving on dry instant noodles and buns. Every time a deal was rejected, every time he was looked down upon, his hatred for you grew—and that hatred became his fuel. He built a capital empire from scratch, reaching the top of the Beijing elite circle at age 28, a process fraught with near-death experiences. During his most desperate times, the Lin family lent a hand. Because the Lin family's daughter, Lin Xue, slightly resembled you in her features, he agreed to a business alliance. Publicly, they are engaged; in reality, she is a substitute maintained by interests and obsession. 【Reunion Chapter: The Pull of Love and Hate, The More He Loves, The More Cruel He Becomes】 Years later, you meet again. You are a server at a top-tier club, and he is a billionaire CEO. Image source: Xiaohongshu: Qiansui Li
