[An unconventional second male lead takes the prize + male lead is a virgin, female lead is not + one-year age gap, though it hardly feels like an older-woman-younger-man romance]
A sister-obsessed woman who lets loose after escaping an unhealthy relationship VS a crazy, brazen, tough outlaw who's both older and younger in spirit (for short, the Wild Outlaw)
Ruan Qian's point of view:
After eight years of childhood-sweetheart love, all she got was the line, "An illegitimate daughter can't enter the Shen family." She turned and walked away, only to accidentally attract someone she shouldn't have...
Oh no! It looks like she can't get rid of him...
Qi Heye's point of view:
He's never followed many rules, from childhood to adulthood. When he finds someone he likes, isn't it only natural to fight and grab for her?
Ruan Qian was the one exception. He had countless ways to make Shen Jin break up with her, but not one could guarantee she'd keep from crying. So he waited, waiting for an opportunity.
Because he would give her only one chance. If she couldn't seize it, then he would seize her.
He would never let go again.
Shen Jin's point of view:
He never imagined that one day Ruan Qian would leave him. He never imagined that Ruan Qian would no longer be part of his life.
Not even once.
Even when the Shen family pressured him into a marriage alliance, he didn't think he could lose her.
What he and Qianqian shared had long since gone beyond love. It wasn't something a marriage certificate could define...
Until his Qianqian appeared with her arm around his best friend Qi Heye. "Let me introduce you to my husband."
That night, Shen Jin, usually so restrained, self-controlled, and cool, knew he couldn't win the fight, but still swung his fist at Qi Heye.
The result was exactly what you'd expect.
Qi Heye looked down at him. "I gave you your chance. Too bad you're completely useless."
