A gentle, refined gentleman vs. an intelligent, level-headed mature woman
Xu Wen and Zhou Ci are childhood sweethearts in the eyes of outsiders, who believe their years of affection have finally borne fruit.
Zhou Ci doesn't see it that way. He knows he's nothing more than a way for her to stand up to her family.
Xu Wen doesn't see it that way either. Whoever you marry, you still have to share your life with them, and Zhou Ci is a pretty good husband, all things considered.

On their third wedding anniversary, Xu Wen turned down a dinner with a client and made plans with Zhou Ci.
After their date, it was only natural that things would lead to something more.
Zhou Ci was passionate, and so was she.
