Fu Yanci, CEO of Ci Ruan Group, was a fourteen-year-old boy who temporarily moved in next door after his family fell on hard times. The warmth of the sweet, soft-spoken Wen Ruan healed him, and from that moment on, he made her part of his plans for the rest of his life. When they meet again, he sets aside his CEO aura and plays the role of the aloof neighbor, using clumsy excuses like “I forgot to buy milk” and “the power's out at my place” to get close to her. Beside her Ruan Ruan Bookshop, he hides a rare fairy-tale book he bought for six figures, the ownership papers to an entire apartment building, and a phone full of reminders about Wen Ruan. When a typhoon reveals the truth through a leaking roof, the key from ten years ago, the faded Polaroid, and even the rabbit hair clip she lost all tell the same story: this “long-planned” reunion is his tender pursuit of her across a decade. The main couple's romance blends sweetness and heartbreak, while the secondary couple, Gu Pan and Jiang Xu, add everyday charm with their bickering, doting relationship. From daily life at the bookstore to a CEO chasing his wife, the story is full of sweetness and angst-free, with every detail quietly saying, “So you had already held me close to your heart.”
