"I'm just an ordinary, unremarkable person. Why are you so stubbornly in love with me?"
"You're more than good enough for me."
[Ordinary Woman, Irresistible to Everyone / Male Homewrecker Takes the Lead / Taming the First Love / The Powerful Man Bows His Head / Male Lead Is Sexually Inexperienced]
Meng Zhuohan, an ordinary woman whose parents never cared for her, grew up without them. Still single at nearly thirty, she hastily found a man and married him to put her grandfather's mind at ease.
But married life meant more than just the daily grind. It also meant dealing with awful relatives.
Her husband was a weak-willed, spineless mama's boy with erectile dysfunction. Her mother-in-law was calculating and manipulative, and her sister-in-law, back from overseas, looked down on her too.
The billionaire tycoon who went on a blind date with her sister-in-law was an old classmate of hers, though she had no memory of him.
Then one day, he cornered her in a dim stairwell and kissed her with blood on his breath.
"Sister-in-law, don't you remember me?"
"That's all right. We have plenty of time."

Cheng Mingxian had once been trapped in a long, complicated secret crush. She was the brightest light of his youth.
Later, he finally worked up the courage to date her online for six months, only to be callously dumped on the day they were supposed to meet in person.
He swore he would make something of himself and make her regret it.
When he returned home in glory, his old first love was already married and treated their past as though it were nothing.
Cheng Mingxian was furious. He swore he would have her, toy with her, and then cruelly abandon her.
He would fulfill the dream of the boy he used to be.
But later, he realized that all his resentment came down to one thing: she didn't love him.
He could scheme around everything, but not his own heart, which had already fallen for her.
What does love care about status or rank?
The one who falls first is simply the first to bow, willingly stepping into her cage.

Only later, when Meng Zhuohan unexpectedly returned to the past, did she discover that theirs was a love story between two people displaced in time.
