[Female lead's POV:]
By chance, Lu Mian matched with a strange man on a dating app.
She racked her brains but couldn't manage to unlink their accounts.
Since there was no point fighting it, she soon accepted the situation and bombarded the man with eight hundred messages a day.
He seemed annoyed by her, but every day he'd still puff away replying to her pile of pointless messages.
Before long, Lu Mian had turned him into her personal treasure trove of a confidant.
As the emotional support he offered grew more and more abundant, she gradually began to feel bad about it.
When he came down with a fever one time, Lu Mian finally got a chance to be there for him.
She asked where he lived, planning to have a delivery service bring him something comforting.
Without batting an eye, he said he lived at the Fifth Prince's Mansion, making her laugh.
“A Lian, your fever's gone to your head! You live in a prince's mansion? I might as well live in the imperial palace!”
Man: “??”
As they kept chatting back and forth, Lu Mian realized that he might not be living in the same time period as her.
It took her just three seconds to scream and accept the truth.
Then...
The man she'd never met confessed to her.
[Male lead's POV:]
Ji Yan, the second son of the Ji family, had been arrogant, unruly, and impossible to manage since childhood. After more than twenty years of being spoiled and self-important, he'd fallen for Lu Mian, and fallen hard.
Lu Mian was different from every woman he'd ever met.
Other than her love of witty banter, she was great, and she even checked in on his everyday life from time to time.
But she seemed to have some kind of emotional problem, and was extremely prone to spiraling into anxiety.
Ji Yan's friend told him that the only way to deal with this condition was to indulge her and soothe her, or she might lose hope and jump into a lake.
Lu Mian said she didn't want to meet in person.
Ji Yan thought for a moment, then could only back down and say, “Okay.”
But one day, Lu Mian stopped replying to any of his messages.
He had no idea if something had happened to her.
Later, Ji Yan finally returned to the real world to find her.
The day he saw Lu Mian,
she was smiling at another man, so happy she'd already forgotten him.
Ji Yan curled his lips in self-mockery and lifted his chin from the collar of his windbreaker.
“Such a heartless little thing...”
“You'd choose him over me?”
Later, Ji Yan finally came to his senses.
A childhood friend can only be a big brother, but with a little effort, he might become her husband?!
