Lin Shu thought she would probably stay single for the rest of her life, until she met Lu Zeyan...
She gave him that umbrella and forgot about it. He kept it for three years.
Lin Shu is 38, an interior designer. At work, she is a stickler for details; in her personal life, she's scatterbrained and always forgetting her keys. One rainy day, she casually lent her umbrella to a man in a white shirt who asked for directions, then promptly forgot all about it.
She had no idea that the young man, Lu Zeyan, would go on to open several private dining restaurants and quietly "run into" her for three years. He had seen her frown in concentration over color swatches, and seen her forget to take a straw. He patiently waited until a blind date, complete with a precise plan to "get married in six months and have two kids in two years," drove her out into the rain, where she nearly had an accident.
He yanked her back to safety. In the rain, he looked at her shaken eyes and finally stopped hiding how carefully he had planned every step of this long courtship.
"Lin Shu, you don't have to compromise for the sake of someone else's life plan."
"A good home is with me."
This isn't a slow-burn romance that gently warms up over time. It's the story of a younger wolfish man whose tender yet domineering "bad behavior" firmly catches a woman accustomed to "taking life as it comes," and turns every compromise she has made into something she can cherish.
