Modern romance, sweet indulgence, lighthearted rural comedy, a wealthy-family contrast, the “it’s actually amazing” rule, a rich heir’s transformation, and a livestream romance
“A domineering rich heir runs away from home to avoid an arranged childhood engagement, only to fall in love at first sight with a ‘village schoolteacher’ in a livestream. He spends a fortune to become the top supporter, then travels a thousand miles to volunteer as a teacher for love, only to discover that his sweetheart is the very fiancée he ‘abandoned.’”
This story is all about “the whole internet watching him suffer as he wins back his wife, convincing himself she loves him, and the contrast between both leads.”
Lu Ci, the young heir of the capital’s elite, has always hated old-fashioned arranged marriages. When he hears his family has betrothed him to a country girl, he packs his bags and runs away in the middle of the night. “I, Lu Ci, would rather jump off a building than marry that village girl!”
Bored and stranded away from home, Young Master Lu starts browsing livestreams and unexpectedly becomes captivated by Ruan Ruan, a sweet, delicate-looking girl volunteering to teach deep in the mountains. With a sunny smile, she awkwardly sings for the camera to raise money to buy books for the children. Lu Ci falls for her. With a wave of his hand, he showers her with a million yuan, becoming the top supporter, and even travels a thousand miles to the mountains for love, concealing his identity to work as a “physical education teacher.”
By day, he is “Teacher Lu,” the workhorse Ruan Ruan orders around. By night, he is the aloof yet doting “top supporter” in her livestream.
Just as he is about to propose to Ruan Ruan and, while he’s at it, go home and call off his engagement to that “country bumpkin,” he catches sight of Ruan Ruan’s ID card.
Wait! Why does her birth date and home address match those of the fiancée his family chose for him?!
Netizens: Young Master Lu, does your face hurt?
