    Amidst the entanglements of family interests, Lin Qianxi and Fu Jinchuan, a strange man and woman, were driven by fate to reluctantly enter the palace of marriage hand in hand. Before marriage, they were like two stars facing each other from a distance. They knew very little about each other's world, and their emotional bond was even more elusive. Lin Qianxi, her gentleness and kindness are like a gurgling stream. However, facing this marriage promoted by family interests, she was initially full of confusion and anxiety. (Lin Qianxi was sitting alone in the wedding room, looking at the moonlight outside the window, with tears in her eyes and a look full of uneasiness) Fu Jinchuan, whose identity is like a mysterious mist, is famous in the business world, art world and other fields, but always keeps others away from him with his cold and distant appearance. (Fu Jinchuan is resolute in business situations and has a stern face, which is intimidating.) But fate is always full of wonderful twists and turns. In the masterpiece "The Sweet Marriage of Cold-faced Young Master Fu", every moment of getting along after marriage became the hotbed of their love. In her daily life, Lin Qianxi gradually discovered Fu Jinchuan's charming charm hidden under his cold appearance. She was attracted to him unknowingly and slowly opened her heart. (Lin Qianxi's heart moved slightly when she saw the tenderness shown by Fu Jinchuan to small animals) Fu Jinchuan was also touched by her innocence and kindness in spending time with Lin Qianxi day and night. His seemingly cold heart gradually became warmer, and his feelings quietly changed. (When Fu Jinchuan saw the dinner carefully prepared by Lin Qianxi for him, a subtle touch flashed in his eyes.) This is a love journey full of warmth and sweetness. While running into each other, they found each other's true love and wrote a chapter of their happiness together. Dear friends, come and read "The Sweet Marriage of Cold-faced Master Fu" and embark on this romantic and beautiful journey of love with them!

    "A Thousand Peach Blossoms Will Bloom" is highly recommended. It doesn't have the usual strong men and weak women. The protagonists don't open their mouths and engage in misunderstandings. The subject matter is novel. Although the male protagonist had some minor misunderstandings about tens of thousands of years in the later episodes, they were all solved. The female protagonist is not Cowardly, if you want revenge, you will complain, and you will do it when you are angry. It doesn't matter whether you are the male lead or not. The plot is really reversal after reversal. I understand that this drama is a bit in reverse order. The foreshadowing will be explained clearly in the end. It is super interesting to watch.
