Ode to Joy: Mr. Pei, Stop Torturing Yourself. Yingying Is Here to Save You

Qiu Yingying, a graduate of a second-tier college, is a young woman trying to make it in Shanghai.

Pei Zhen is a tool used by his father.

He thinks she's silly and scatterbrained. No matter how much he tries to reason with himself, he can't help being drawn to her.

A chatty young woman x a wounded young heir / healing / sweet romance

Qiu Yingying is an ordinary girl from a small county town. After being deceived by a scumbag, she lets her light shine through a love that dare not speak its name.

Pei Zhen has lost his bandage. He learns to fight back. When the feather duster comes down, instead of getting on his knees, he reaches out and throws it away.

Love is like the spring breeze gently caressing a flower bud. You shine more brightly than the morning dew. You don't need to chase the seasons; my gaze is the greenhouse where you bloom.

Memorable scene one:

Pei Zhen: "She said that if someone hits you, you should hit back, just like she told him to hit back when she was bullied."

Qiu Yingying: "Mr. Pei, when you're sad, you should eat something sweet, but no crying allowed. If your tears fall on the donut, it won't be sweet anymore. It'll be salty."

"What's a little sun? It's something warm."

"Xiao Qiu is Pei Zhen's sun."

Memorable scene two:

Pei Zhen realized that he'd been overthinking things.

A life accustomed to "not being loved" can wither when suddenly showered with care, as if forced to grow too fast.

That's not an exaggeration. It's a fact.

It's not that he rejects the sunlight; it's that his dark world needs time to adjust.

Love isn't about giving endlessly. It's about keeping each other warm.
