[Sober drama investor x self-denying and repressed business heir]
"We are accomplices holding hands, sinking soberly."
Fan Ning returned to China with the goal of choosing a perfect "marriage partner" for herself.
Meng Yanchen, the confirmed heir of the Guokun Group, is gentle, helpful, and extremely capable. He is recognized as the "ceiling of mate selection" among Yancheng's socialites. However, due to his lack of interest and his mother's almost harsh pickiness, no one has successfully dated her so far.
With a hidden past and purpose, she worked step by step in an attempt to obtain Meng Yanchen's legal spouse status.
Everyone said that the daughter of the Fan family was smart, generous, handsome and capable, and that she and Meng Yanchen were a perfect match.
Only Meng Yanchen knew that this woman seemed thoughtful and decent, but in fact she was beyond cunning and always inadvertently challenged the boundaries he had always guarded.
During a blind date, she regarded him as evenly matched "prey";
A gift, she gently stirred up the suppressed undercurrents in his home;
Once they joined forces, she cooperated with him tacitly in the business puzzle and killed everyone.
He was gradually attracted to her, admired her acumen, and was curious about her calmness. Even during a late-night conversation, he accidentally confessed his deepest secret hidden in his heart - his unspeakable obsession with that person.
He thought she would be surprised and retreat.
But she just smiled slightly and took out a "Marriage Partnership Agreement" that she had already drafted from her bag.
"Mr. Xiao Meng, I also want something." Her tone was calm, but her eyes seemed to be covered by a layer of fog. "We cooperate and each get what we need."
So they got married.
In front of people, they are a well-matched couple, and behind the scenes, they are allies who work together tacitly.
It was not until later that he accidentally learned the reason why she had to get married to get her former home back.
The unexplained absence from family gatherings, the fleeting loneliness facing the window in the living room late at night, everything is traceable.
At that moment, Meng Yanchen suddenly understood:
Why she could always understand his silence, why she never asked about his past, and her understanding and tolerance for his struggle.
It turns out they are the same——
They are all people who have failed to get what they want in love, and they are all people who trap themselves but pretend to be calm.
And this conspiracy that the two of them thought started as an agreement has quietly turned sour. The pretense of lingering has turned into a sincere kiss, and the deliberate protection has turned into subconscious concern. They are tacitly understanding each other and sinking in each other's quagmire soberly.
The essence is the mutual redemption of two little bitter melons who want "love".
Ps. I haven't watched the whole drama. I won't follow the original plot completely. There are many private settings and OOC reservations. Marry first, love later.
Intention: Love is broad.
