Synopsis

Based on a true story, a realistic romance.

[A blunt, materialistic migrant worker who marries far from home × a dull, secretly calculating factory owner who looks out for himself]

After graduating from high school, You Xing headed south to Guangzhou for work. There, she met He Qi, a small-factory owner who had started a business in the city.

A lifelong bachelor, He Qi was drawn to the lively, cheerful You Xing. But once the passion between these two people with utterly different personalities fades, can they overcome the conflicts caused by the cultural differences between north and south?

Will their life together be reduced to nothing but endless domestic troubles?

[Content warning: Neither lead is a good person, and neither is written as perfect.]
