A marriage of convenience, love after marriage
A gentle, tsundere heroine vs. a mature, old-fashioned hero
The distant bells ring late, but never too late
Five short minutes determined the rest of their lives.
Lin Yao and Song Huaizhong, two people bound by duty.
Love began with duty, and remained true to it.
It wasn't that she didn't need love, but that she was used to being alone;
She could do just fine with someone else, and just as well without.
Lin Yao: “Thanks, but I don't need it...”
Song Huaizhong: “That's the third time. Miss Lin, remember: being stubborn is only okay as long as you don't become a burden to anyone else.”
Song Huaizhong: “Rather than keeping things from me, I think you'd prefer to be involved.”
Lin Yao: “I was almost starting to believe you. But when it comes down to it, I'm still on my own.”
Lin Yao: “The money's practically delivered itself to my door. Why wouldn't I take it?”
Song Huaizhong: “Do you think she doesn't know?”
Lin Yao: “I got it. Love you, me.”
