The Mo family is one of the most prestigious wealthy families around, and Mo Canxing, its only daughter, is the apple of everyone's eye.
After returning from studying abroad, Mo Canxing meets an up-and-coming figure in the industry, who immediately points at her and calls her names.
Pei Duzhou: "Flirtatious."
Mo Canxing has never been treated like that before, and refuses to back down: "What a poser."
Their first meeting ends with a brief exchange and both walking away unhappy.
The next time they meet, Mo Canxing is being pressured by her elders to get married. She casually sends her blind date packing, then looks up at the poser who showed up uninvited.
He still looks every bit the impeccable gentleman.
"Hello, Miss Mo. Would you be interested in getting married?"
Mo Canxing raises an eyebrow. "Why?"
"Among your potential matches, I think I'm the most suitable."
"That's a barely passing reason."
On the first day of their marriage, Mo Canxing receives a warning.
Don't go to bars.
Don't stay out all night.
Don't seduce anyone else.
Mo Canxing doesn't take it to heart and continues doing whatever she pleases.
Later, she realizes Pei Duzhou has a crush on her and fusses over her every day.
Pei Duzhou: "I made dinner. Are you coming home today?"
Pei Duzhou: "It's raining today. I brought some soup. Can I bring it up to you?"
Pei Duzhou: "I bought the gemstone you like. Will it make you just a little happier today?"
The life of such easy comfort makes Mo Canxing a little too pleased with herself.
So later, when Pei Duzhou catches her and throws her onto the bed, Mo Canxing bursts into tears and protests.
"What gives you the right to control me? Even married people can get divorced."
"I love you. In my world, there's no divorce, only widowhood."
Mo Canxing's eyes widen. Her lips part slightly, but she can't utter a word. The fierce-looking man in front of her doesn't look like he loves her at all.
Smack!
Mo Canxing slaps him. "You yelled at me. Is this what you call love?"
