“Long-planned scheme + secret crush becomes mutual love + marriage before love + domineering, calculating CEO + mutual pining + devoted to each other”
“Genuinely powerful, calculating man + wealthy, pampered wife”
Lu Mingzhou comes from a first-rate family and has never been linked to a scandal. The only person who ever got the better of him was Zhou Yao!
The male and female leads reunite at a banquet. When he learns she’s single again, he lures her into registering their marriage while she’s on her way to a matchmaking date. He claims they’re helping each other avoid being forced into family-arranged dates.
He arranges to live next door to her, then pretends their encounters are accidental, carefully plotting his every move.
Little by little, he sets his trap and draws her into his arms!
A brief meeting in their college days was destined to bind them for life.
When she puts on a show, he builds the stage. When she beats someone up, he stands lookout.
One day, she discovers that he was the one who saved her in the accident and wants to repay him.
But Lu Mingzhou turns her down. He wants her genuine affection, not her gratitude.
Zhou Yao is puzzled. Does he really just want to be the man behind me? There when she needs him, silently watching over her when she doesn’t.
Sure enough, Lu Mingzhou is always there in the background, providing resources, bringing her food, giving her everything!
Zhou Yao feels that Lu Mingzhou can always steady her emotions and lift her up.
Little by little, she falls deeper.
But after he turns her down, Zhou Yao can’t help wondering: could he be into men?
Unable to hold back, she looks up advice and tests the waters...
Working up her courage while drunk, Zhou Yao pulls him down toward her.
“Why don’t you like me?”
Lu Mingzhou looks down at her in his arms and answers in a low voice, “It’s not that I don’t like you.”
“Not that you don’t like me? So you do like me... Then I want you all to myself...”
This time, he doesn’t turn her down. “All right.”
Mutual pining and sweet everyday romance.
Theme: Someone is always loving you in silence. Those who have loved each other will find their way back to love.
