[Naturally Straightforward, Laid-Back, Kindhearted Country Girl x Outwardly Refined and Arrogant, Secretly Rotten Young Master]
Both pure, incredibly sweet, a giant sweet treat!
One day, country girl Le Xi rescued an extremely handsome man.
The man said that city people repaid life-saving favors by offering themselves in marriage.
Le Xi firmly refused and asked only to be repaid for the New Year's money she had spent saving him.
But the man clung to her and refused to leave.
Then he recovered his identity. He was Si Yao, the heir to the capital's top tycoon family: proud, refined, and possessing everything, an elite among the elite.
Le Xi followed him to the capital and enrolled in an aristocratic academy.
It was worlds apart from the countryside. Tycoons held power, social classes were sharply divided, and she was utterly insignificant.
The young masters and ladies of the capital mocked her, saying Si Yao would never marry a country bumpkin like her.
After verbally taking on the whole crowd, Le Xi said she didn't understand: she had the young master backing her, and having money and enjoying life was enough. Why should she make him marry her? Her dream was to lie flat.
But the young master didn't seem to agree. He dealt with everyone who gossiped about her, then bought her exorbitantly expensive jewelry, pretty bags, and clothes every day to tempt her. He warned her not to run and threatened to marry her.
Le Xi was horrified. "Hey, why are you clinging to me? And stop acting like I've abandoned you all the time. If you kissed me two fewer times a day, I wouldn't be mad."
When Le Xi returned to her rural hometown, the young master traveled a thousand miles to bring her back and lock her up, humbly begging her never to leave.
After meeting Si Yao, Le Xi could always hear a crackly, disconnected mechanical voice. Each time, it managed to say only a few words before going offline.
Things like: logging in, reboot, world, female lead, female supporting character...
Le Xi couldn't understand it or guess what it meant, so each time she promptly forgot about it and went on enjoying her sweet romance.
