The entertainment industry is abuzz with rumors that Gu Huai is an untouchable beauty: aloof, refined, and above the concerns of ordinary people.
Only Su Zhen knows that this man has been plotting for a long time, and that his mouth can make anyone lose their composure in an instant.
On the night of her twenty-fourth birthday, Su Zhen catches her boyfriend cheating at the airport and ends up drenched in rain and utterly miserable.
A nanny van that should have been on its way pulls back around. Gu Huai rolls down the window and looks at the young woman before him, crying like a soggy kitten. Without testing the waters or playing games, he gets straight to the point: “Get in.”
Under the hotel's warm, golden lights, the man holds her tightly and confesses softly in her ear, “Zhenzhen, I've liked you for a long time. Back in our sophomore year, you...”
That night, there are no misunderstandings and no games of push and pull. From holding each other as they cry to registering their marriage at the civil affairs bureau, Gu Huai shows through his actions what it means to be a man of action.
Faced with this incredible stroke of fate, Su Zhen calmly raises a finger. “Mr. Gu, let's keep our marriage private. I want to rise through the industry on my own merit.”
Gu Huai looks into her determined eyes, his deep affection restrained and carefully contained. Holding her hand, he says softly, “All right, we'll do it your way. But can I at least clear a fair path for you? I promise I won't interfere with your ability to prove yourself. I'll just help you turn down some ‘unspoken rules.’”
Later, Su Zhen wins award after award on her own merit, while her scumbag ex-boyfriend tries to ride her coattails and beg her to take him back.
At an awards ceremony broadcast live to the whole country, Gu Huai appears as a presenter and slips a ring onto her finger in front of the entire world. He answers reporters without the slightest hesitation: “If you like someone, pursue them. Once you win them over, spoil them. Overthinking? That's not in my dictionary.”
