The ratings have just opened, so they’ll go up later! [1v1, two female leads | switch | marriage first, love later | wealthy families of Hong Kong and Beijing | cool-headed eldest daughter of Beijing’s elite × spoiled heiress of Hong Kong | arranged marriage between wealthy families | older wife who dotes on her younger spouse | sweet romance and playful tension] Liu Wenzhong, the eldest daughter of the Liu family in Hong Kong, was dazzling, pampered, and so beautiful she drew every eye. Her biggest worries in life had once been that this year’s auction had too few emeralds, or that the flowers at her afternoon tea party weren’t pretty enough. That was, until the Liu family told her she was to marry into Beijing’s Ye family. Liu Wenzhong assumed she’d be marrying some young master from one of Beijing’s old-money families. She had even come up with a reason to call off the engagement. But when she flew to Beijing to sound things out, she discovered that her betrothed wasn’t a man at all. It was Ye Xianqing, the eldest daughter of the Ye family. Ye Xianqing, heir to the Yeshi Group, was cool, proper, and old-fashioned. She lived in an old house deep in Nanchi Lane, went jogging in the morning, practiced calligraphy at night, spoke as if she were chairing a meeting, and delivered flowers like she was sending out paperwork. Liu Wenzhong thought she was boring and stuffy. She hated Beijing’s cold winds and how quiet the Ye family’s old house was at night. Yet Ye Xianqing remembered that she loved irises, didn’t wear high heels, and was afraid of the cold, the dark, and losing face. She sent her flowers, bought her a car and registered it, laid out a lavish dowry, sent an emerald crown to Shallow Water Bay, and made room for her in the finest courtyard of the old house. A Hong Kong rose marries into an old Beijing home. At first, she only wanted to make a grand entrance. Later, she discovered that Ye Xianqing was giving her more than that. She was giving her a whole new home where she could be as beautiful and spoiled as she pleased, and take her time falling in love.
