Playing It Cool

Part 1 Shu Minglei's high school nemesis, the eldest son of the Qin family, Qin Duo, is back. Shu Minglei goes with her mother to Qin Duo's welcome-home banquet. There, she suddenly learns that she and Qin Duo are engaged. Their parents had agreed that if neither of them had found a partner by the age of 28, they would arrange an engagement. Shu Minglei turns and meets Qin Duo's cold, sharp gaze, immediately interpreting its meaning: Who would marry this woman? Shu Minglei completely agrees and understands. She promptly decides to fill her schedule with blind dates and find someone to marry before she turns 28. Part 2 In the summer of their sophomore year of high school, a girl named Shu Minglei took up residence in the heart of the eldest young master of the Qin family, Qin Duo. Shu Minglei was the class monitor. She was warm, friendly, and always ready to help, and she also hated Qin Duo. After graduating from high school, Qin Duo went abroad to study, carrying with him the unspoken feelings he had kept to himself. Seven years later, he returned from overseas and saw Shu Minglei again at his welcome-home banquet, where he suddenly learned that he was engaged to her. But just as joy began to rise in his heart, he heard Shu Minglei declare with absolute certainty that she would find a partner within six months and end the engagement. Part 3 Qin Duo: Why do you want to end the engagement? Shu Minglei: Because we're enemies. How could we possibly get together? Qin Duo: Enemies? Us? Shu Minglei: Why do you look so confused? Everyone in class knows what our relationship is! Qin Duo: ? A heroine whose thoughts never make it onto the romance channel, and a seemingly cold male lead who's secretly a flirt. Theme: Communication is the key to understanding one another.
