Five years ago, he worked incognito at a subsidiary of Rongzheng Group in Sucheng, where he fell in love with Li Mai. When she ended the relationship, he believed she was materialistic and left bitterly. Since then, he has become cold and cynical.

Despite his resentment, he is still obsessed with her, driving near her workplace and manipulating situations to see her. His interactions reveal his inner conflict and inability to move on from the past.
