[Contract marriage, married first and in love later, entertainment industry + wealthy families: the bumpy road to heterosexual romance for two lifelong singles]
After spending more than twenty years single, Lu Yinfan suddenly finds three new admirers on her doorstep, each more dazzling and charming than the last:
Her youthful first love: Back then, the distance between them was the school honor roll’s top and bottom spots, and a track’s width during morning exercises. Now he stands before her and confesses his love, unaware that she has been waiting a very long time to hear those words.
Her dream ideal: Even more unattainable than her youthful first love is the dazzling idol on the screen, who brightened her otherwise ordinary school days.
“Hello, everyone. I’m Pei Jinzhou.” She has heard him introduce himself thousands upon thousands of times.
“Hello, Lu Yinfan.” He says her name for the very first time.
Pride and prejudice: When a rich, devoted, incredibly handsome man proposes to you on your third meeting, there can only be two possibilities: either it’s a romance scam, or he’s gay. Ji Wang, the actual controller of the Hengyu Group and a fourth-generation heir to a wealthy family, can only be the latter...
As the blossoms rain down before Lu Yinfan and force her to make a choice, she can only cry out in despair: “Sorry, I’ve been single my whole life. I don’t know how to date!”
