A cool-headed, clear-eyed small-town girl VS a wild and carefree rich young man
Redemption / winning her back / a playboy turns over a new leaf
Xu Jialan is the typical rich young heir, reckless and carefree, and he never takes relationships seriously.
To deal with his family's pressure to marry, Xu Jialan is forced to hide out in Dai County, a place in the middle of nowhere.
Chen Yao'an is nothing like Xu Jialan. She's quiet and aloof, and never gets involved in trouble.
One night, the power goes out, and he corners her, step by step.
He slowly leans close to her ear and asks teasingly in a casual tone, "How about being my girlfriend?"
Chen Yao'an's ears turn red, but her mind has never been clearer.
She warns herself that a man like him is trouble!
And sure enough, she is right.
While chatting with his friends, one of them asks, "What do you see in her?"
He replies, "She's pretty, that's all."
*
Who could have guessed that before long, Xu Jialan would chase her all the way from Jingbei to Dai County, desperate to ask her one thing:
"Do you like me?"
Chen Yao'an remains cool and indifferent. "No."
Xu Jialan's eyes turn bloodshot in an instant. He pins her in a corner, gripping her shoulders tightly.
His Adam's apple bobs, and his voice trembles. "Are you going to abandon me too?"
In the end, he touches her face and lowers his eyes. "I was wrong."
Xu Jialan never imagined that he would fall for Chen Yao'an so completely.

Marriage first, love later
Free-spirited, romantic, independent comic artist x cold, proud, serious business tycoon
Qiu Yan is suffocated by her family's pressure to get married. Di Zheng is one of the many blind dates she has lost count of.
Looking impatient, she takes a sip of coffee and says, "I have severe marriage syndrome."
Di Zheng: ?
"What's marriage syndrome?"
"Marriage syndrome means being anxious and irritable after getting married. In severe cases, you might become violent toward your spouse."
"So, for both our sakes, I've decided not to get married."
Di Zheng studies her for a while and decides Qiu Yan would be the perfect contract wife.
She's so opposed to marriage that she'll surely have no trouble letting go when their contract ends.
So Di Zheng says calmly, "Marry me under a contract, and I'll give you five million."
Qiu Yan: "Huh?"
Di Zheng: "I'll add a downtown apartment worth ten million."
Qiu Yan: "What?"
Di Zheng: "And another five million."
Qiu Yan: "I think my marriage syndrome is cured."
Di Zheng: "The condition is that your marriage syndrome must not get better."
Qiu Yan: ...
"Then it won't get better."
-
Qiu Yan and Di Zheng's contract marriage is purely a financial transaction.
After the wedding, they diligently play the roles of husband and wife in front of their families, but keep out of each other's way in private.
Di Zheng devotes himself to work, and she's happy with the arrangement.
When the contract finally expires, Qiu Yan is free at last and happily goes to end things with him.
Di Zheng: "I can't find the contract."
Qiu Yan immediately goes into a panic, anxiously pacing back and forth.
Behind her, Di Zheng presses his forehead and complains to his assistant, looking troubled: "When is her marriage syndrome going to get better?"
Note: 1. Marriage syndrome is not a formal medical or psychological diagnosis. It is a colloquial term for psychological and behavioral adjustment issues caused by changes in roles, the pressures of everyday life, emotional conflict, and similar factors before or after marriage.
2. In this story, the heroine's marriage syndrome is an illness with serious symptoms that require medical treatment. Don't relate it to real life; it is fictional.
