1. A tenacious, driven hero and a heroine who takes the initiative
2. A romance that begins with private tutoring and blossoms both ways
3. A heartwarming love story that bridges the class divide, combining sweet romance with an inspiring journey
Ordinary college student Leng Zeyan takes a tutoring job to cover his living expenses. He never expects his student to be the young heir of one of Shanghai's most powerful families. More surprising still, the cool, aloof senior he has only ever seen in financial magazines, Su Wanyi, turns out to be the boy's own sister.
On his first visit, he catches her taking a nap in the courtyard, her red dress swaying, her skin fair as snow. He tries to slip away quietly, but she catches him: “You've been watching for so long. Why don't you come sit down?”
He assumes they'll have no reason to see each other once the tutoring ends. But his senior keeps challenging his expectations, one surprise at a time:
“I'll give you a ride back to campus. It's on my way.”
“You didn't get into the club? I'll ask around for you.”
“Come over for dinner this weekend. My brother wants the sweet-and-sour ribs you make.”
One night, as Leng Zeyan studies late in the library, Su Wanyi suddenly calls him.
“Where are you? I'll send a driver to pick you up.”
“Senior, I'm still studying...”
“I know,” she says, her voice on the other end carrying a hint of tenderness. “That's why I'm coming to keep you company.”
Later, at a business gala, someone mocks Leng Zeyan, saying he isn't good enough for the heiress of the Su family.
Before he can reply, Su Wanyi takes his arm and announces to everyone:
“He didn't marry above his station. I was the one who worked so hard to win him over.”
Only then does Leng Zeyan realize that every step he'd taken in his desperate efforts to succeed had already been part of her plan.
