Su Nian, the eldest daughter of the Su family, flees an arranged business marriage and makes her way to Lujiacun in the Northeast.
She hopes to live a quiet life, but at first sight, she sets her heart on the cold, taciturn grease monkey at the auto repair shop: Lu Zhenghao.
He’s the wildest man in the village, dressed in worn-out work clothes and smelling of motor oil. His temper is harder than stone.
Everyone is wary of his coldness and keeps their distance. She’s the only one who isn’t afraid.
She chases him with imported breakfasts, waits for him with steaming ginger tea, and little by little, slips into his life in her padded coat.
The whole village teases him: “Brother Hao, a rich city girl is chasing you!”
Lu Zhenghao replies coldly, “Cut it out.”
Until one late night, he corners her beneath the eaves. The tips of his ears turn red as he asks in a hoarse voice:
“How long are you planning to cling to me?”
Su Nian smiles, her eyes curving. “Until you marry me.”
Later, everyone knows that the toughest man in Lujiacun has been pursued into submission by a pampered heiress, and now he spoils her endlessly.
