One is a master of logic, the other a philosopher.
A battle of wits between two rational people in love: loving, standing by each other, and tearing each other apart.
The first time they meet, Su Xueyao says, “Who are you? Don't touch me!”
The second time, Su Xueyao says, “Am I... going crazy?”
The third time, Su Xueyao says, “One meter seventy tall, 105 pounds, 34C...”
Shen Yichen: “You don't have to seek perfection in life. Sometimes, imperfection makes things more interesting.”
Shen Yichen: “A wound hurts because you keep touching it.”
Shen Yichen: “People are afraid because they have something they care about, something they fear will be hurt... or destroyed.”
The straightforward introduction:
Su Xueyao, female, 29, licensed lawyer, career-minded, not prone to melodrama, and cold at heart. She doesn't value romance, yet has a strong sense of loyalty and generosity. Her own rule: don't do things out of wishful thinking, and steer clear of anything beyond your comfort zone.
Shen Yichen, male, 34, heir to Aikewai, a pharmaceutical giant run by his family. He appears gentle and refined, but wields an iron fist behind the scenes. Born at the top, he's still exceptionally diligent. He seems above worldly concerns, yet knows the rules of society inside out. In short: a wolf in sheep's clothing. His motto: “Do anything you want, just don't get emotional.”
In one sentence: a story about two people who don't believe in love finding it anyway.
