[Sharp-tongued marine meteorological observer x cool, aloof heir who hides his feelings]
[Both are romantically inexperienced + personal growth + dislike each other at first, then become devoted to one another + heroine has traumatic amnesia]
Ruan Lingfei was convinced her second older brother had gone missing. To stay in Mengjiang and wait for him, she agreed to her family's matchmaking arrangement and quickly married Sheng Wenting. She kept the marriage secret from her family, and they didn't register it officially. After one year, they would each go their separate ways.
*
Sheng Wenting had no expectation of living as a respectful couple with this rich young lady. As long as she didn't make a fuss or act up, he could keep playing along with her.
He laid down three rules. She broke every one of them.
*
Sheng Wenting had never been in love. The first time he confessed his feelings to her, it turned into a spectacular flop as he bluntly listed her flaws.
Ruan Lingfei rolled her eyes.
*
Later, their sham marriage was exposed, but Sheng Wenting wanted her to stay.
Ruan Lingfei looked at the man, his eyes reddening. “I'm sorry. Can you accept it if I don't stay?”
Sheng Wenting had no choice but to swallow the feelings he hadn't managed to express and let her go. “Of course. I accept it. I hope you can live life on your own terms.”
Ruan Lingfei packed her bags and left without saying goodbye, setting off alone to search for the memories she had lost.
*
She returned to Jingbei and started a new life, cutting off contact with him.
By chance, she heard that he was in Jingbei on a business trip and had been in a car accident. She drove frantically to the hospital, saw that he was safe and sound, then quietly left.
*
When Sheng Wenting heard that she was teasing a junior student and had countless men around her, he brought the token of their love and his sister, who was afraid of flying and cars, and traveled three thousand kilometers from Mengjiang to Jingbei.
She was surprised. “What are you doing here?”
*
She loved the sea.
So he built a lighthouse to guide her home.
“Feifei, the sea is rough. Come home safely.”
