Love in the Age of Innocence: Fang Mujing and Qu Hua

She is Fang Mujing, a 22-year-old mathematical prodigy. Raised in an unusual family, she grew up precocious and clear-eyed, believing that everything in the world can be solved. Cool and distant, she keeps everyone at arm's length and devotes all her passion to mathematics.

He is Qu Hua, a 28-year-old neurosurgeon. Gentle, patient, and persistent, he caught a glimpse of her at an awards ceremony and could never look away again. He waited three years, spent six months drawing closer to her, and carefully laid his plans, all to draw her in.

What she thought was a “chance encounter” was something he'd planned for a long time.

What she thought was a “coincidence” was something he'd arranged with care.

What she thought was a “contract marriage” was the devotion of a man staking his whole life on her.

On their wedding night, he said, “Give me five years. If you still don't love me after five years, I'll let you go.”

She didn't know that behind those words was a man putting everything on the line.

She thought she was collecting data, analyzing variables, and calculating the gains and losses.

But she didn't know that from the very first day, she had become the one anomaly she couldn't solve.

This is the ultimate contest between reason and emotion.

This is a love story that no formula can calculate and no logic can unravel.

This is the story of two brilliant people who, after figuring everything out, still chose each other for life.

When the equation of reason meets the unknown of emotion

She finally realizes that some problems can't be solved; you can only lose yourself in them.

He waited for her to notice him, to fall for him, to love him.

He waited so long that even he began to think he would go on waiting forever.

“Fang Mujing, do you know that your eyes always dart away whenever you say ‘no’?”

“Qu Hua, I think I've really stopped calculating.”
