Four years ago, the Young family's bankruptcy forced Cindy Young to flee abroad. After four brutal years, she returns hardened and unyielding, only to cross paths again with James Vaughn, Beijing's most powerful elite, the man who once pulled her from the abyss. Everyone says Vaughn guards his heart for a cherished first love. Only Cindy knows he is obsessive and contradictory: he mocks her yet always shields her, offers her stardom only to be refused. Their past is scarred, their present a clash of wills. They once loved, but now stand worlds apart. In this game of love and hate, who will surrender first?
