No over-the-top drama, more everyday life
Rising finance star × talented artist
Xu Weiwei spends her gap year in the United States, where she unexpectedly meets Shen Yixing. This charming man shows an intense interest in her, but afraid of getting hurt, she chooses to ignore him.
They “coincidentally” cross paths again and again in Chicago, New York, San Francisco, Albuquerque, Los Angeles, Miami, Las Vegas, and Salt Lake City.
After witnessing brothers vying for the same prize and an aunt and niece exploiting one another, being kidnapped in Albuquerque, and facing two of her closest friends as they run away from their weddings, cheat, and deceive her in Florida, Xu Weiwei gains a whole new perspective on life. Her views on love and the world begin to change. She gradually gets to know Shen Yixing and eventually accepts him.
As it turns out, there was never any chance encounter. Shen Yixing had calculated the best route from the start.
The rivals she encounters on the road to love, including the cousin who competes for her, the snobbish aunt, and her unreliable friends, all end up giving their relationship a huge assist.
This is a game of push and pull between adults.
Their love should have been mutual and straightforward, but Shen Lang, his younger cousin, makes things complicated.
They should have understood one another, but his aunt’s interference creates a misunderstanding.
They should have made up, but their friends’ failed marriages leave them doubting love.
Still, the CEO fights tooth and nail for her, and his tea-throwing skills are astonishing. In the end, he wins Xu Weiwei over.
Xu Weiwei is somewhat insecure and tends to avoid reality, but Shen Yixing’s unwavering devotion gives her confidence and courage.
The story takes its time, focusing on the little things in everyday life.
