Shen Li and the Man She Loves

Shen Li, the campus beauty in the oil painting department of an art academy, comes from a wealthy family. Proud and sharp-tongued, she seems cold but is warm inside. She is direct and sincere in love: passionate when she loves, but never clings when ignored. Her self-respect is fiercely important to her.

Lu Yuxuan, a rising star in tech, built an AI company from scratch. Ambitious, rational, and restrained to an extreme, he initially sees romance as a “useless drain” and takes Shen Li’s affection for granted, even ignoring it. By the time he realizes he loves her, it is too late, and regret consumes him.

Wen Jingran, Shen Li’s senior in the same department, seems gentle, considerate, and gracious, but is actually a scheming, faux-sweet manipulator. He knows how to play the victim and take credit, expertly exploiting Shen Li’s emotional vulnerabilities as he carefully competes for her heart.

When Shen Li meets Lu Yuxuan, she falls for him at first sight, but he is focused solely on his career and has no interest in romance. Shen Li pursues him relentlessly, only to discover him dating other women. She gives up. Touched by Wen Jingran’s care, she agrees to date him, but on the eve of their wedding, she uncovers many hidden truths about the past and the real reason Wen Jingran approached her. Shen Li throws her head back and cries out: being happily single is pretty great too.
