[Love at first sight, chasing his wife after losing her, secret crush, real and fake heiresses, mutual first love]
Shen Yien has had a secret crush on Qin Nanzhou for twenty years. When he gets married and his bride runs away, she helps him out of a bind and finally gets the chance to confess her feelings. He accepts, and she marries him. She thinks that if she loves him sincerely, she can win his heart.
But five years pass, and he remains cold as ever. Then his runaway bride, the woman he’s always loved, returns to the country, and Shen Yien hears him say, “I still love her!”
But once she really does divorce him, Qin Nanzhou starts pursuing her relentlessly, insisting that she’s always been the only one he loved. But she no longer wants to turn back.
The first time they meet, she’s distraught over Qin Nanzhou. He paints a picture for her and tells her to be happy.
The second time, he takes her to get medicine for an injury and tells her that a girl should treasure and protect herself.
The third time, when Qin Nanzhou brings the woman he loves to see her, he politely ushers everyone away, protecting her reputation and letting her keep her dignity.
The fourth time, they become colleagues. He saves her from danger for the first time, stands up to Qin Nanzhou for her, and tells him to cherish her.
…
The ninety-ninth time they meet, he brings 999 portraits he has painted of her and tells her he wants to protect her for the rest of his life. Will she let him?
