<Aloof, eccentric heiress from an academic dynasty vs. straightforward, sincere young professor>
Shen Ruoyan has always had one small dream: to escape her birth family.
Though she is the heiress of Jiang University’s academic dynasty, her father is unfaithful and her mother remarries. She grows up lonely, ignored by everyone.
She is taught not to expect anyone to cherish her, and treated as a bargaining chip in a marriage alliance, destined to marry someone across an unknown ocean.
Naturally rebellious and fiercely independent, Shen Ruoyan refuses to let her life drift along at the mercy of others.
She sets her sights on Wen Xianxun, her father Professor Shen's proudest student, also a professor.
She realizes that he, too, refuses to bow to convention. He stands strong in adversity and lives independently, as if he were the other half of her soul.
So, after getting him drunk, drugging him, and clinging to him, she pleads with him, her eyes red: “Professor, I'm pregnant. Would you marry me?”
At 33, Wen Xianxun is a top scorer on the college entrance exam who rose from a poor family.
Through diligence and intelligence, he has fought his way out of a ramshackle home in a small town.
Because he refuses to submit to the unspoken rules of academia, his prospects have steadily dimmed, and his life has edged toward disappointment.
He considers himself penniless, with nothing but a sincere heart that the academic dynasty will never accept, and plans to spend his life alone.
He never imagined that one day this eccentric, domineering woman would drag him aboard the ship of marriage.
Wen Xianxun says, “Let's keep our distance,” but quietly brings Shen Ruoyan her shoes and cooks for her.
Shen Ruoyan complains, “No one ever cherishes me,” yet Wen Xianxun's small acts of care slowly soften her heart.
And so, two lonely, stubborn, yet sincere souls collide, sparking one fierce blaze of love after another.
