For the sake of a Beijing license plate, Zhou Mo and Chen Xiangyuan enter a fake marriage. They agree: once the plate is theirs, they divorce, and neither of them takes it seriously.
But things gradually spiral out of control.
The woman she lost touch with eight years ago, her first love, has become a power broker in the investment world. Blocking her way, the first thing she says is: "You're in Beijing now. If you were going to fake a marriage, why marry someone else instead of me?"
The brother with no blood ties to her, according to their household register, stands in the shadows of the hallway, his voice low and hoarse: "Don't call me your brother. I don't want to be your brother anymore."
The boy who used to follow her around, calling her "Sister Xiao Mo," returns from Southeast Asia covered in scars and wraps his arms around her from behind: "Zhou Mo, I've waited ten years for you. This time, don't push me away again."
And her unserious fake husband risks his life to drag her back to shore from a rip current, his face deathly pale as he smiles: "Because... you're Zhou Mo."
Four men, four romance routes, four endings.
[Bonus Scene]
Someone asks Zhou Mo: Which of the four do you like best?
Zhou Mo: I just want to focus on my career.
The four men fall silent at the same time.
Later...
Xu Zijin spends six hundred thousand yuan in her livestream, just to get her to unblock him.
Lin Yuecong quits smoking and learns to cook, starting out on a trial run as the "perfect boyfriend."
Yue Lang takes a bottle to the head for her, then raises his bloodied face and asks: "Could you try loving me, too?"
Chen Xiangyuan sets off three million yuan worth of fireworks and drops to one knee with a diamond ring: "Zhou Mo, marry me."
[Reading Guide]
1. A lighthearted romantic battle royale. The heroine is career-minded, and all the male leads are vying for her.
2. Four men, four flavors: contract marriage, pseudo-incest, brothers competing for her, and an old flame from Beijing's elite circle.
3. The heroine talks tough but has a soft heart. She loves money but isn't materialistic. She can fall in love, but her career can't stop.
4. The story spans a long timeline: it opens in 2014, with childhood scenes in 1997 and high school scenes in 2006.
5. The heroine is sexually inexperienced, as are all four male leads, and they love only her from beginning to end. At the start, the heroine fake-marries one of them (they only get the paperwork, nothing actually happens).
Coming Soon: Spring Breeze Beyond the Cage
Lin Chuxian is the good girl in everyone's eyes.
Her fiance is a perfect man: good family, good looks, and good to her, at least on the surface.
Only she knows that the man about to marry her has been exchanging affectionate messages online with other women. She's caught him three times. He's changed three times, only to do it again and again.
"Nian Nian, don't make a fuss. It's just for fun. I haven't done anything to betray you."
"The wedding date is already set. Do you want to make things difficult for our families?"
No one listens to her.
And she has no way to tell them.
One late night, she downloads the social app her fiance uses to flirt with women.
Partly to get revenge, partly because she wants someone to talk to.
Then she hears that voice.
Low and lazy, like a prairie wind sweeping past her ear.
Nothing like the greasy men on the app.
He doesn't call her "baby" or ask, "Wanna hook up?" He just chuckles and says:
"You sound like you're about to cry. Who hurt you?"
Later, she starts craving more.
His voice, his body, the fact that he never asks about her past and never promises her a future.
She thinks: It'll just be one last fling before the wedding.
After all, she's spent her whole life living for other people.
Until she crosses half of China and stands on this boundless grassland.
The man swings down from his horse, his skin bronzed, his muscles strong and lithe, his whole body carrying the scent of blazing sun and fresh grass.
He looks at her and smiles:
"Little bunny, you really came. Aren't you afraid the big bad wolf will eat you?"
He says he's just a horse breeder.
He says his horses are worth more than he is.
He says he doesn't date, because he thinks the word "love" is too dirty.
But later, he's the one who tosses aside his riding crop, pins her to the grass, and bites her ear as he asks:
"You said you only wanted my body. Then why are you crying?"
She says she only wants one night of pleasure with him, but he wants her for the rest of his life.
The caged bird begins to long for the spring breeze beyond the cage.
[Reading Notes]
1. Physical first, emotional later. An irreverent beginning, followed by sincere devotion.
2. Wild prairie horseman x caged canary who saves herself.
3. Both sexually inexperienced, one-on-one romance, happy ending.
4. The scumbag gets what he deserves, a forced marriage is fought back against, and the heroine's awakening gets a complete arc.
Theme: Don't be Cinderella waiting for a prince. Be the queen who controls her own life.
Are you considering giving another allin ending? Don't regret such a good subject. Anyway, I'm letting go now [bad laugh] [let me be healthy]
It's not working, everything else is okay, Lin really can't do anything, he's just pretending, he's just moved by himself.
Ahhhh, I really like Yue Lang, a loyal and loyal dog [crying]
Nianxia is great, I like Nianxia [dog head]
I would like to suggest that you don't write the if line separately. Capitalize it first, and then write the four men separately. If you write it like this, we will easily get confused.
Lin: You are all good scholars. You are all good scholars.
Lin's dancing is really killer, but I still think Xiao Lang is the best, little wolf and dog brother~
We share weal and woe and depend on each other for the future. They are really a couple.
Actually, it's the best. Well, it's better not to use the mold to praise. Give the mold coenzyme.
Can all in. . .
