[Two male leads + equally matched protagonists + intense romantic tension + rivals at every turn + sweet romance]
Romantic, free-spirited architect Gong × meticulous, restrained executive assistant Shou
Qin Yu (Alex), an internationally renowned architect, and Lin Mu, the chief executive assistant at Fu Group, are forced to work together on a wedding of the century.
One is a romantic genius who writes poetry with light and shadow, with an air of romance in every step. The other is a rational professional who builds worlds with data and races against every second.
They should have been a disaster waiting to happen, like fire and ice colliding.
He finds the other rigid and dull; the other can’t stand his disregard for the rules.
But when Qin Yu drapes his coat over Lin Mu, who has been staying up late to double-check the schedule, in the conference room at three in the morning;
when Lin Mu silently places a rare, out-of-print architecture book Qin Yu casually mentioned on his desk,
feelings that were never part of the plan have already begun to take root.
The wedding countdown becomes a catalyst for their growing intimacy.
A sea of flowers, a starry sky, flowing violin melodies... Qin Yu uses every kind of “impractical” romance to advance, step by step.
And Lin Mu’s emotional defenses, maintained for years, crumble with every “unscheduled” touch.
“Assistant Lin,” Qin Yu murmurs, pinning him between moonlight and spreadsheets. “Is ‘falling in love with me’ one of your KPIs?”
Lin Mu pushes up his slipping glasses and calmly asks in return, “If it is, how many points does Mr. Qin plan to score?”
