[Slow-witted, taciturn, clearheaded village girl x proud, pampered, love-struck young master]
(A little coercive: a wooden-headed girl x a peacock of a man)
Wen Yanli was sent to a small mountain village to temper his disposition, where he met Chunxi, who dared to look down on him at first sight.
Chunxi was cold, taciturn, slow to catch on, and uninterested in people.
But Wen Yanli fell for her anyway.
Using his past kindness to her as leverage, Wen Yanli took Chunxi home and kept her by his side, hoping every day that she would look at him a little more.
One day, Chunxi stumbled upon Wen Yanli's careful scheming. She agreed to date him for three months to let him lower his guard. As soon as the three months were up, she ran off, leaving Wen Yanli to lose his mind all alone.

One day, Wen Yanli saw a message on Chunxi's phone from some other man.
He frowned. "You're not allowed to go."
Chunxi looked up at him, furrowed her brow, then stroked his head and smoothed his sleep-mussed hair.
Her voice was gentle, but her words were a warning.
[Wen Yanli, you've crossed the line again.]
Wen Yanli wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into his embrace, resting his forehead against her shoulder.
[Chunxi, am I your dog?]
