[Roommates + Long-Standing Scheme + Lighthearted Comedy + Mutual Secret Crush]
Design assistant Wen Ning rents a cheap apartment in the city-center Yunding Residence to get established in the big city. Only on the night she moves in does she discover that her landlord is Shen Zhiyan, known in the industry for being “cold and demanding.”
He lays down a list of rules for sharing the apartment. She keeps to herself and focuses on her career, yet this “Iceberg Engineer Shen” repeatedly makes exceptions to look after her.
There are lights on when she works late, help when she runs into trouble, and when a suitor comes calling, he coolly takes her side.
At a class reunion, everyone finally realizes that they already knew each other in high school.
What seemed like a random roommate arrangement was his carefully planned approach, seven years in the making.
Shen Zhiyan: “The rules are for everyone else. You’re the exception.”
