Adult Love Doesn't Need Fairy Tales

[Divorced, older woman + Mature, sizzling tension + Office romance]

[Love doesn't always end in marriage. Sometimes it ends in melodrama.]

Fang Xinruo is divorced and single, and well past the age most people consider ideal for marriage. Just when she finally manages to get back into the workforce, does she have to put up with her ex-husband slandering and hitting on her?

Song Zhengxi is a talented young man and a highly eligible bachelor. To forget his first love, the one who got away, and escape his emotional turmoil, does he turn to a quick, no-strings-attached romance?

[Fang Xinruo] From now on, I'm going to follow my heart, enjoy the present, and live for myself. I'm open to dating, but marriage is out of the question.

[Song Zhengxi] Sorry, love is too much for me to handle. I want to break free from the shackles of my past relationship and reclaim my freedom, body and soul.

They meet by chance and get to know each other at work, drawn to one another and following their instincts as they enjoy the moment. Whether they really love each other doesn't seem all that important. But when Song Zhengxi's first love suddenly reappears, their relationship takes a sharp turn for the worse. After Song Zhengxi resolves to sever his ties with his first love, rethink his relationship with Fang Xinruo, and open up to her about how he feels, her answer is simply: No?

[Song Zhengxi] You say we should be coworkers, so we're coworkers. You say we should be friends, so we're friends. Did I ever say I agreed? Just watch me play along, then win you over one step at a time!
