Both leads are inexperienced in love + simmering tension + a rabid dog who won't let go + getting back together after a breakup + happy ending + groveling pursuit + male rivals
Cool-headed, rational jewelry designer Chu Yi VS unruly, rabid big shot Qi Yang
Everyone says Chu Yi is punching above her weight by dating Qi Yang, the young master of a prominent Jingcheng family.
Then Chu Yi's family goes bankrupt, and everyone assumes she'll cling to Qi Yang as her lifeline.
Who knew Chu Yi would be the one to ask for a breakup first? Heartbroken and dumped, Qi Yang leaves town.
Three years later, they meet at a cocktail party. Qi Yang plays the hero and rescues her, leaving Chu Yi owing him 1.4 million in liquor bills.
Chu Yi: ??? Okay, got it.
She turns around and sells the necklace Qi Yang gave her to pay off the debt.
Qi Yang sneers, “You sold the gift I gave you to pay me back? Look at you, all grown up.”
…
Qi Yang is a regular fixture in celebrity gossip. One day, paparazzi photograph him grappling with a woman by the side of the road. “Shocking scoop! Jingcheng big shot Q loses control in the street, fiercely tussles with a mysterious woman as onlookers gather.”
Chu Yi's friend sticks up for her: “Babe, he actually cheated on you!”
Chu Yi remains unruffled: “Could it be that the woman was me?”
Qi Yang angrily steps forward to dispel the rumors: “What do you mean, grappling? She's my wife!”
Chu Yi denies it: “I'm not, I didn't, don't make things up. Who's your wife?! Stop trying to make yourself look good.”
Qi Yang: “Then let's make it official!”
…
At the marriage registration office.
“Ma'am, are you marrying this man of your own free will?”
“Sometimes, yes.” Chu Yi calmly placates Qi Yang, who is about to lose it. “But I love him very much.”
Qi Yang wears an invisible shackle around his neck, and Chu Yi holds the other end of the chain.
