[So what if she has a boyfriend? Does President Xu care? He doesn't hesitate to steal her away right in front of him]
The heroine, Xia Xi, is a contract worker. At twenty-seven, her family is pressuring her to get married, and she has a boyfriend she's been dating since college.
Xia Xi is beautiful and had plenty of admirers back in school. She agreed to date Wang Guohui, the least handsome of them all, because he was gentle and mild-mannered, and she thought life with him would be stable. But after his career took off, Wang Guohui began to look down on Xia Xi for being a contract worker with a low salary, unable to help him buy a house. Behind her back, he started an affair with a female supervisor. When Xia Xi discovered his infidelity, she ended things decisively.
One day, Xu Guang, president of Jinli Group, visited Xia Xi's workplace to inspect a public welfare sponsorship project. He noticed the quiet, gentle Xia Xi and fell for her at first sight.
He used his power to get close to her through work, making one overture after another. Even when Xia Xi clearly told him she had a boyfriend and planned to marry him, Xu Guang refused to give up and kept pressing her.
After the two unexpectedly slept together, Xia Xi discovered that this president was a virgin. She had been ready to throw caution to the wind, but began to hesitate. Xia Xi had always wanted a stable life, but Xu Guang brought her into a world of privilege she could never have reached on her own. Just as she was about to lose herself, she pulled back in time, even hurting herself to force Xu Guang to break up with her.
Xia Xi's younger brother was also preparing to get married. The family home was small, and Xia Xi's family favored sons over daughters. After breaking up with Xu Guang, Xia Xi agreed to her mother's arrangements and went on a blind date. Xu Guang caught sight of her, furious and resentful, and demanded that she marry him
