With a scar on my face and a certain "vibe," I always believed that I, known as Qi Shi (or Hiro Qi), would never find love. However, that all changed when Nan Jue (or Duke Nan) entered the picture. Nan Jue was a classmate of mine whom I rescued from bullies and ended up getting my facial scar as a result. He was a friendly and happy-go-lucky guy who also happened to be a wellness expert. Nan Jue offered to help improve my self-esteem, land my dream job, and connect me with new friends. To show his commitment, he even moved in with me. Yet, as time goes on, I'm beginning to see that appearances can be deceiving, and that even the most radiant grin can mask a hidden secret... This story is set in the same universe as "Cong Huang Yan Kai Shi" (Starting With a Lie).
