Synopsis
Su Wan, a young woman who works at an electronics factory, is desperate to raise 38,000 yuan for her mother’s surgery. On a rainy night at the hospital, she runs into Shen Zhiyan, the boy she hasn’t seen in ten years.
Once the unreachable golden boy of their small town, he is now an influential tycoon with a business empire in his hands. He quietly pays the full surgery bill and arranges the best doctors. All he says softly is, “You helped me back then. It’s only right that I look after you now.”
After losing her job, falling into debt, and being bullied by a nasty woman from her village, she hits rock bottom. He quietly clears a path for her to start a business: a prime stall location for free, quality ingredients at cost, and zero commission on delivery platforms. She turns her family’s traditional handmade snacks into a thriving stall. Her sweet lotus root stuffed with sticky rice wins hearts, while the fragrance of osmanthus cakes drifts for miles. From a little stall at the village entrance to a county-wide hit, she becomes a snack queen everyone envies.
She stubbornly saves money to pay back her debts, while he gently stays by her side, cooking for her and sheltering her from the storm. When malicious reviews and rival businesses try to drag her down, he uses every resource at his disposal to clear the obstacles, helping her understand that his return from the capital was never a coincidence. He came back to protect her for the rest of her life.
“Zhiyan, we’re from different worlds,” she says, lowering her head in shame.
He bends down and gently lifts her chin, his eyes full of an unshakable devotion. “My world has always been built for you.”
