Tough on the outside, soft on the inside small-town girl x arrogant, refined, sharp-tongued composer
A difficult guest checks into the guesthouse where Zhu Sijia works part-time.
Arrogant, pampered, and suffering from a serious case of rich-boy syndrome.
He's not only sharp-tongued, but always manages to puncture her little illusion of "stability."
He says he's here to find inspiration, but she rarely sees him actually focus on composing.
Instead, he disrupts her life and ruins her plans to marry her long-distance boyfriend.
Zhu Sijia can't take it anymore and tells him to leave: "I'll refund your room fee. Pack your bags and go right now."
Fu Chengyu leans lazily against the railing, gives a scoffing laugh, then suddenly grabs her and pulls her into his arms. "I'm not leaving unless you become my girlfriend."
