Spoiled, playful sweetheart × steady, doting, hopeless romantic

Shen Li and Lu Huaichuan are the wealthy elite’s universally acclaimed “model couple.” She’s a sweet investor who’s ridden in a Maybach since childhood; he’s a Stanford graduate and an old-money heir whose charm runs deep. They’re five years apart in age, but both are twice as lovestruck. Lu Huaichuan’s favorite pastime is teasing his wife with that refined-yet-roguish face of his: “Shen Xiaoli, let me hear you call me Big Brother.” Then Shen Li kicks him right out of the study.

To outsiders, he’s a cold, commanding CEO and she’s an investment banking goddess. In private, they’re always trading barbs. He flies to America to keep her company while she studies, and his buddies call him “a slave to his wife.” She checks up on him over video calls, earning the title of “surveillance addict” from her best friend. He seems like a mature, fatherly boyfriend, but in reality he’s always making things up; she looks like a sweet girl who loves to act cute, but can turn around and scold him into silence. Their greatest shared hobby: one acts like a brat, and the other beats him up. Their love is evenly matched, a long-lasting game of pushing each other’s buttons. Their days are sweet, and their punches pack a wallop.
