Aerospace engineer X sci-fi film director, both strong personalities
An arranged-marriage partnership between two people who deeply misunderstand each other
Fake marriage-first-love-later / fake rekindled romance / unconventional unrequited love
Yi Zhige has experienced many situations in which love can take root: an arranged marriage, two people with mental illness finding kinship in each other, and a schemer with no regard for morality rising to the top (himself). He's even experienced what it's like for an unrequited love to come true.
None of that is unusual.
The screwed-up part is that the person on the other end has always been the same.
Ying Suiqing, whose heart he can't warm, whom he can't win over, and who treats his heart like it's worthless.
In Ying Suiqing's world, he's probably no more than a toy to play with when she's bored, a way to pass the time, and an NPC for her to test out her kinks on.
