Lin Xiyun never imagined that, by a twist of fate, the person she had secretly loved for years would become her arranged-marriage partner!
But if that's the case, what happened to the Cinderella-and-prince love story that once swept her off her feet?
Lin Xiyun and Ji Xiumo have known each other since childhood. Their personalities were so different that they rarely spoke. Ji Xiumo had no idea that the supposedly stiff and boring Lin Xiyun had liked him ever since they were little. Growing up, Lin Xiyun saw Ji Xiumo get into trouble and be punished, saw him stand up for others, and saw how openly and passionately he once loved someone. After that, Lin Xiyun decided to end her decade-long crush and go abroad to study. She thought her feelings would eventually fade with time, but five years later, by a twist of fate, she and Ji Xiumo became engaged in an arranged marriage.
Over those five years, Ji Xiumo's personality changed dramatically. As he spent time with Lin Xiyun, he finally realized that she wasn't a stiff, boring heiress. On the contrary, she had a playful sense of humor, as well as a proud, petulant streak. As he slowly fell for her, Ji Xiumo finally discovered that she had secretly loved him for more than a decade. Their feelings unfolded layer by layer, and they fell for each other in the end!
