Story
Shanghai, September 1931: Hudong Bank chairwoman Mo Jieyu, an old friend of wealthy businessman & serial seducer Xie Yifan, asks him to rob Beibei, the 16-year-old fiancee of tycoon Jin Zhihuan, of her virginity. Jieyu wants revenge on Jin, for publicly dumping her in favor of a schoolgirl. Yifan turns down Jieyu's request, partly because he has another quarry in his sights—the quiet and retiring Fenyu, his uncle's granddaughter. Sensing an opportunity for some sport, Jieyu makes Yifan a wager: if he can seduce Fenyu without falling in love, she will finally agree to sleep with him; if he fails, he will sign over a valuable piece of land to her. Mission finally accomplished, Yifan refocuses on seducing Fenyu, but finds himself in deeper emotional waters than he's ever experienced.
