Heir to a top-tier tycoon family x a lowly cook struggling to survive
Arrogant x Stoic
The Lu family's only son, Lu Yanchen, is famous far and wide for being impossible to please.
If he wants the stars, the servants have to fetch a ladder. If he wants the moon, the butler has to figure out how to put it in a bowl.
When he's being difficult, even plain water tastes salty.
The young master who loves to bully people has actually hired someone willing to put up with it.
The cook does the laundry and prepares meals, serves tea and water, never talks back when scolded, and never complains when mistreated, keeping him perfectly content.
"You just want money, don't you?"
The young master reaches for several thick stacks of cash on the tray and throws them onto the carpet in front of Chen Bai.
"Is that enough?"
But fate is full of drama, and everything in life is absurd.
Who could have imagined that the arrogant young master who looks down on everyone would fall in love with the cook he despises most?
"Chen Bai, how much money will it take for you to stay?"
So crocodiles can cry after all. So Lu Yanchen can love someone after all.
The cruel young master finally changes his ways, only to find no one waiting behind him.
(A very traditional melodramatic plot: first the shou suffers, then the gong, then the readers, then the author. What with the sick father, the dead mother, the family in debt, and poor him. If you love melodrama, this one's for you!! But everyone will grow!)
Theme: Growing up, finding salvation, learning to love someone, and learning to accept love
