Ambiguity

Marriage first, love later | Unrequited love becomes mutual | Arrogant, sharp-tongued, aloof man vs. sexy, sweet little white flower

1/ Qin Nanfeng, a champion race car driver with a face handsome enough to take anyone's breath away, is arrogant, sharp-tongued, and insufferably smug. He has stayed away from women throughout his several years in the spotlight, and everyone in his circle knows he's the hardest man to win over.

After a celebrity exhibition race, Qin Nanfeng unexpectedly appears on stage alongside Zhou Yitong, Beicheng's sexiest host. Together, they make quite a striking pair.

A female reporter, never one to pass up a bit of gossip, asks, "You're both single. Why not give it a try? Nanfeng and Tongtong seem like a perfect match."

Qin Nanfeng says expressionlessly, "Thanks, but I couldn't handle it."

Zhou Yitong replies coolly, "No thanks. We're really not a match."

Netizens crack up. The two are so obviously repulsed by each other that they earn the nickname "lifelong rivals."

2/ Later, Zhou Yitong finds a boyfriend and is about to marry him. She posts an invitation in her social media feed.

Qin Nanfeng, who never speaks to her nicely, actually manages to say something decent for once: "Congratulations."

Zhou Yitong seizes the rare opportunity to tease him: "I found someone before you did. Admit it, you're jealous."

For once, Qin Nanfeng doesn't snap back or even reply.

Zhou Yitong is too caught up in the happiness of her upcoming wedding to give it much thought.

3/ On the eve of her wedding, Zhou Yitong's boyfriend cheats on her, and his mistress gets pregnant.

After the breakup, she heads to the castle she had carefully chosen for her wedding to cancel the booking, feeling dejected and alone. There, she runs into her cheating ex and his mistress.

The castle is in high demand, with no availability anytime soon.

The mistress speaks in a sickly-sweet voice as she looks at Zhou Yitong. "Once this lady cancels, I'll book her date."

It's simply too much.

Anger flaring, Zhou Yitong says, "I'm not canceling."

The mistress says, "Why bother? You're not getting married anyway."

Zhou Yitong replies coldly, "Who says I'm not getting married? The men who want to marry me are lined up all the way to London."

The mistress gives her a mocking look. "To whom?"

Qin Nanfeng's arrogant voice comes from behind her. "To me."

Zhou Yitong's heart skips a beat.

[Bonus Scene]

After they get married, netizens all say theirs is a marriage of convenience, without any real feelings.

Then Qin Nanfeng is secretly filmed sharing a passionate, two-minute kiss with Zhou Yitong at home.

It's sweet and sensual, with enough sexual tension to set the screen on fire.

Reporters swarm them for an interview. "You both said back then that there was no way you'd end up together. How does it feel to have your words thrown back at you now?"

Qin Nanfeng holds Zhou Yitong protectively in his arms. "My wife used to be a little insecure. She always thought she wasn't good enough for me. You should all treat her a little better."

Zhou Yitong: "..."

Can you get any more shameless?
