For the first twenty years of Liu Linyi's life, apart from losing both her parents, she had never suffered hardship, thanks to her doting boyfriend. She never imagined that the boyfriend who loved her so much would cheat on her...

After discovering her ex-boyfriend's infidelity and realizing how foolish she'd been to stay abroad for a man, she wasted no time escaping his sweet talk and lavish gifts. She returned home to start a business and pursue her old dream. There was one other reason, too... She was sure he wouldn't be able to win her back.

But she never expected that Xie Bai, the aloof young master, would agree to help her ex-boyfriend pursue her?! Whether he was stepping in to get her out of a bind during a livestream or lowering himself to work at her shop, she kept telling herself that Xie Bai was only helping Xu Zhiyuan win her back.

Why, then... was she still falling for Xie Bai's dazzling confidence?

Then, by chance, she overheard him say:

"How could I ever like her? I already hate having to help you pursue her." His voice carried its usual disdain.

Xie Bai had been well brought up since childhood and was skilled with musical instruments. His only flaw was the arrogance born of such strict control. He only gave people with real ability the time of day.

He'd agreed to help Xu Zhiyuan pursue his ex as a way to mess with him. But that woman rejected every one of his advances and bristled at him, while putting her prickly side away around everyone else.

Xie Bai irritably raked a hand through his hair, vexed: What did it matter to him if she was nice to other people?

Rain poured down. A tall figure stood stubbornly outside Liu Linyi's home, looking particularly out of place in the downpour.

Xie Bai's eyes were red, his voice humble:

"...Please don't get back together with Xu Zhiyuan."

"I love you more... Please, choose me, okay?"

After they got together, his contradictory side became even more pronounced:

"What?! My wife is chatting with another man? I forbid it!"

After getting scolded: "Well, they know how to say all the right things, don't they? You're happy, so now you don't care about me, right? I'm just an innocent little fish in your sea who's 'never been in a relationship'..." (Very aggrieved, with all the manipulative sweetness of a tea-drinking green tea boy.)

A heroine who was love-struck at first, then grew clear-headed and mature, versus a young master who was profit-minded and arrogant at first, then became a jealous, manipulative sweetheart.

(The hero is a completely innocent young man, an arrogant, awkward young master who's never been in a relationship!! The heroine never had any intimate moments with her ex either. Both leads are virgins, and the romance develops at a slightly leisurely pace.)
