When Tang Cheng woke up, six years had already slipped by. Once hailed as a mechanical prodigy, she was now just a sluggish, out-of-touch Alpha.
The sweet and clingy childhood fiancée she remembered had turned distant and frosty—her first words upon their reunion were: “Get lost.”
In order to prove she was still the same person, Tang Cheng had no choice but to flaunt and flirt in front of her.
She took it upon herself to resolve a trap-virus outbreak in the United Building. Yet from high above, her fiancée merely watched, eyes icy, as Tang Cheng was slandered and humiliated by her enemies. When it was all over, she simply dusted off her sleeves and walked away without a word.
Tang Cheng applied for a position at her fiancée’s family tech company, only to be met with a stern warning and full obstruction:
“Didn’t I tell you? Just stay at home and stop causing trouble for me!”
Later, when Tang Cheng uncovered a clue to the true culprit who had stolen six years of her life, her fiancée extinguished her cigarette, brushed away Tang Cheng’s hand, and coldly mocked:
“Tang Cheng, can you stop being so childish?”
She replayed every word her fiancée had said, over and over in her mind, dissecting each one. No matter how she tried to defend her, there seemed to be only one conclusion:
Lu Xinxue no longer loved her.
Disheartened and broken, Tang Cheng collapsed at home from the effects of a reverse mark. As she faded into unconsciousness, she clearly felt a trembling palm cupping her cheek, a voice whispering “A-Cheng” by her ear. Fingers grazed her lips, the bridge of her nose, gentle but afraid. When a round, cold droplet landed on her brow, she was pulled into a warm yet shivering embrace—filled with the scent of thyme, and the terrifying fear of losing her once more.
But when she opened her eyes again, her fiancée sat upright and composed, cold light glinting in her gaze.
