[Gentle, considerate CEO ✖️ proud, willful little drama queen]
Both leads are each other's first and only love. The male lead cherishes and guides the female lead. Neither is perfect; this is a story about growing together.
Lin Ran grew up surrounded by adoration. She may seem willful and carefree, but deep down she is brave and steadfast, with her own ideals and ambitions. She keeps growing into herself.
Gu Yanci once had a happy family and childhood. After a car accident forced him to grow up overnight, he buried his youthful pride and stubbornness, until he met Lin Ran. With her, he seems to return to that year.
Lin Ran has had a crush since childhood on the handsome older boy next door. Since he is the same generation as her maternal uncle, she has no choice but to call him “Uncle.” After years apart, they reunite when Gu Yanci is asked by her uncle to look after Lin Ran in a foreign country. He witnesses her strength, growth, and vulnerability.
At a chance business banquet, Lin Ran sees someone deliberately provoking Gu Yanci. In an instant, the love deep inside her erupts like a volcano. Without hesitation, she rushes forward to protect him in the boldest way possible, splashing wine and furiously talking back. In that moment, all she wants is to be his safe harbor.
Lin Ran assumes it is all just unrequited love, never realizing that his heart has already blossomed because of her, too.
