When her blind date says “My mom says” for the tenth time, Qiao An thinks it’s just another frustrating episode in her ordinary life. She has no idea that the stern man in the corner of the café has already etched into his heart the way she swallows her impatience and remains polite.
Mu Chen, the youngest head of the Chenshi Group, is accustomed to cutthroat business battles and family scheming. But that afternoon, he falls for a woman he’s never met. He arranges one “chance encounter” after another: at a pet shop, in a mall, at a charity event. He watches her gently care for animals, cleverly help her mother, and professionally negotiate a business deal. Each side of her only makes him more captivated.
But love that crosses class lines is bound to be strewn with thorns. Mu Chen’s father humiliates her with a check, his eldest sister schemes against her, an ex keeps pestering and exploiting her, and their social circle looks down on her and laughs. When Mu Chen shields her from his family’s secret attacks and resolves to clean house, Qiao An hesitates. “Can two people from different worlds really have a future together?”
From “the victim who endured ten agonizing minutes” to “wait for me to take care of everything,” this is a modern-day fairy tale about courage, dignity, and true love. When fireworks paint her name across the night sky, the answer has long been in their hearts: true love knows no social standing, only sincerity.
