At the company annual gala, Chen Siyi wore a red dress to accompany her boyfriend at work. His boss, Zhao Yan, looked at her just once, then never took his eyes off her again.
Later, her boyfriend climbed into the good graces of a wealthy woman and dumped Chen Siyi with the words, "You're good for nothing."
The owner of the music shop ran off with the money, the pipa she'd played for years was smashed, her family suddenly found itself burdened with tens of millions in debt, and her father suffered a stroke from the shock, leaving him paralyzed on one side...
When she had nowhere left to turn, the man she'd met only once at the annual gala began quietly paving the way for her: finding her performance gigs, arranging interviews, standing up for her, giving her opportunities, and helping her start a business...
From pretending to be her boyfriend to officially taking his place at her side, he planned every step well in advance, yet always left her room to say no.
At first, she thought it was just a quick way to make money. Only later did she realize the way this man looked at her had never changed.
It began with beauty, but it was his character that won her heart.
She gritted her teeth and made herself her own support, and became the woman he'd been plotting to win over all along.

PS: The male lead falls in love at first sight and pursues her with careful schemes, but never forces her. The female lead falls for him slowly, over time.
Besides, loving someone means giving her the very best and most valuable things. My girl deserves the whole world's affection!
