Like the boy who cried wolf, Xia Zhi Xing had lied one too many times. So when she did tell the truth, nobody believed her except for the most unlikely person, Zhong Tian Qi, a runaway young master of a jewelry empire. His belief in her inspired her to become a real jewelry designer instead of a lying, scheming jewelry con artist, but as misunderstandings pile up, their love turns into hate. Five years later, Zhong Tian Qi is a different person. What will happen when fate brings them together once again?
