Cheng Anya never imagined that her first heartbreak would end up changing the rest of her life. She was young, trusted the wrong people, and believed the future would unfold the way she had planned. Instead, betrayal arrived from the two people she expected it from the least. Trying to forget everything for just a single night only pushed her into an even bigger mess, leaving her caught in a situation she neither expected nor fully understood. Before she could make sense of it all, the man involved had already left behind an impression impossible to forget, not because the meeting was romantic, but because it ended with both of them convinced they never wanted to see each other again.
Life refuses to stop for anyone. Seven years pass, and Cheng Anya quietly builds a new life around the one person who matters most, her son. Bright, mischievous, and far too clever for his own good, the boy becomes the center of her world and the reason she keeps moving forward. She has no interest in digging up old memories, especially when the past brought little besides disappointment, so accepting a new job feels like another ordinary step toward a stable future.
It lasts until she walks into MBS International.
The company’s president is Ye Chen, the same man whose pride took a serious blow during their brief encounter years earlier. He remembers her far more clearly than she remembers him, and the nickname “Mr. 100 Yuan” is still enough to make his expression darken. Working under someone who has every reason to settle old scores sounds like a terrible idea, yet walking away is not an option either. Their days quickly become a contest of sharp remarks, stubborn pride, and constant attempts to outwit each other, with neither willing to admit defeat first.
As they continue crossing paths, pieces of the past that both of them misunderstood begin falling into place. Things Cheng Anya accepted as truth years ago suddenly seem less certain, while Ye Chen slowly discovers that the woman standing in front of him is nothing like the one he imagined. Their son, who enjoys causing trouble almost as much as solving it, keeps pushing them together in ways neither can predict.
By the time old misunderstandings begin clearing up, the arguments have become strangely familiar, the distance between them is no longer what it used to be, and both are forced to admit that the story they thought ended seven years ago had only just begun.
