Wen Nian doesn't believe in marriage.
As for dating, she had a one-month relationship in high school.
Of course, she never had real feelings for him. It was just a battle of wits between top students.
As luck would have it, a few days ago, someone hit on her at a bar on Qingshui Street, and she accidentally ran into her ex-boyfriend.
"Who was that?" a friend beside her asked.
"Nobody." Wen Nian set down her glass. "Just karma for the foolish things I did when I was young."
Later, Wen Nian went on a blind date, even though she was only twenty.
"Hi." The person across the table acted perfectly at ease.
"Jiang Zhu? Long time no see." Wen Nian finished ordering and pushed the menu toward him.
"It's been more than a long time. You saw me at the bar last time. Why didn't you say hello?" He handed the menu to the server and spoke casually.
For reasons she couldn't quite explain, Wen Nian decided to put on an act with Jiang Zhu.
They'd go from being passionately in love to walking down the aisle.
So they signed a contract: when the time was up, they'd go their separate ways and never bother each other again.
Wen Nian prided herself on her acting skills. She never messed up.
That is, until three months later, when she found herself pinned against the wall, with Jiang Zhu right in front of her.
"Why didn't you say hello to me, Jie?"
1. Adult-oriented: adversarial relationship at first, then older woman and puppy-like younger man
2. Older woman-younger man romance (?)
Jiang Zhu: You're only four months older than me...
Wen Nian: Four months is still older!
3. Since Wen Nian and Jiang Zhu are both at the level of award-winning actors, you don't have to take their behavior in Wish Granted as a reference for their characters.
4. Their high school relationship was purely a battle of wits between top students (someone tried to speak up for Wen Nian and got silenced (T . T))
5. Start date undecided
6. About their looks
Wen Nian: I'm definitely a gorgeous, striking beauty!
Jiang Zhu: He's definitely handsome, but I'm not sure what kind of handsome.
Me: Let me sum it up, then.
A striking, sharp-tongued beauty who doesn't know she's sharp-tongued * a stubborn, soft-hearted puppy of a younger man who's sharp-tongued and knows it
[PS: Four months older still counts! (Silenced twice)]
7. The title may change, though it might not
Theme: Love is possession
