    💓Fu Xinghe's bet to pursue love backfires when he's outmaneuvered by Ji Jinqi. One second he's arrogantly declaring, "I'll give you money if you want, and I'll accompany you if you want," but the next second he discovers his wife is a crybaby who's afraid of pain, and immediately transforms into a protective maniac. Even when he's being mean, he has to think twice before yelling at her—this contrast is so adorable it's sickeningly sweet! The seemingly aloof Ji Jinqi is actually a clumsy guy with emotional issues, and Fu Xinghe gradually wins him over and spoils him like a treasure. From awkward crushes to mutual devotion, the sweet daily life hides a gentle redemption that's sweet every time you watch it!
