[Two male leads + period setting + love at first sight + love that grows over time + young master sent-down youth + rugged country boy + sweet romance + revenge]
Xie Jiangyue, a young master from a well-off Jiangnan family, received an excellent education from childhood. He excelled at music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and was the most admired “other people's child” in the provincial government residential compound.
Then his family's fortunes changed overnight, and he became a frail sent-down youth who had to work in the fields every day.
Everything he'd learned in his life was useless. He had to start all over again...
Meng Baichuan, a strapping Northeastern man with prodigious strength and a gift for hunting, lost his heart when the newly arrived sent-down youth Xie Jiangyue glanced his way without a second thought.
How could anyone be so perfectly suited to his tastes? Tall, long-legged, fair-skinned, and beautiful, the young man checked every box.
The beauty spoke as sweetly as if he were flirting, and seemed so even-tempered that he never got angry. But in truth, once he made up his mind, he was stubborn as a mule.
The beauty was gentle and seemed easy to get along with, but he kept people at a distance, making it hard to get close to him.
The more Meng Baichuan got to know him, the more he fell for him. He pulled out all the stops to win over his beloved, repeatedly and “casually” making his presence felt until he finally won the beauty's heart.
