Modern gender-bender romance, two strong leads, modern alternate universe, female CEO at first, male CEO later
In the future, for various reasons, the birth rate plummets. A new law is passed, making it possible for women to marry men as well as men to marry women. Both forms of marriage are recognized. And as technology advances at a dizzying pace, many things overturn what the public once took for granted. Since this is an alternate future, all sorts of new elements may show up later...
Will two people who fall in love after one starts teasing the other on a whim really get a happy ending?
Xu Fuxing agrees to her cousin’s plea to aggressively pursue Zhang Haoyue, the top student in their department, because he looks just like her first love. After finally winning him over, she keeps teasing and messing with him. Before she knows it, she’s losing herself in the relationship, until her first love returns from abroad...
The heroine is warm on the outside and cold within, takes life as a game, comes from a privileged background, and is the archetypal playgirl. She seems fickle on the surface, but who knows what she’s really like inside?
The hero is cold on the outside and warm within, keeping others at a distance, but pure-hearted, kind, resolute, deeply devoted, and faithful. He comes from a poor family?! Later, he becomes a clingy, obsessive boyfriend.
At first, she pursues him. Later, he pursues her. No groveling-to-win-her-back arc. Probably not...
Haoyue asked Xu Fuxing, “Did you ever love me?”
“Don’t be silly.”
Three years later, after her family falls on hard times, Xu Fuxing seeks financial backing from the Gu Group and says humbly, “Hello, President Gu.” She looks up and realizes that President Gu is none other than Zhang Haoyue, the aloof young man from back then.
