On the day of her engagement, Jiang Yanyan gets exactly what she wants: her fiance publicly calls off the wedding.
Inside, she's so thrilled she's already planning where to throw a party that night, but on the outside she puts on the pitiful, innocent act of a white lotus.
Just as she's about to leave and change out of her uncomfortable engagement dress, her sworn enemy Xiao Chuan strides firmly onto the stage.
“The Xiao family keeps its word. I'll marry you in his place.”
Jiang Yanyan: !!!...
She can practically see all the money she'd painfully spent to win her freedom swirling away like water down a drain...

After their engagement, Jiang Yanyan tries everything she can think of to figure out what her enemy is really up to:
Pretending to be miserable and acting cute to gain his sympathy: failure.
Deliberately provoking him to make him angry: failure.
Even steeling herself to use her beauty to tempt him, but... still a failure.
After all that exhausting effort, body and soul, she finally reaches a conclusion:
Xiao Chuan may be nearly thirty, but he's just like he was as a child: the very definition of boring!

With their one-year engagement period almost over, Jiang Yanyan sends Xiao Chuan, who's off at some research institute in the mountains, a breakup message, then happily heads off to a street dance battle.
Then her joy turns to sorrow when she gets injured.
Xiao Chuan arrives at the hospital, his expression dark, and clamps his broad hand directly onto her injured waist.
Jiang Yanyan cries out in pain. “Xiao Chuan, are you trying to kill me?”
Xiao Chuan's voice is icy. “Jiang Yanyan, if you ever hurt yourself again, believe me, I'll make sure it hurts even more.”
Jiang Yanyan: !!!

Jiang Yanyan always thought theirs was a case of falling in love after marriage, until at their son's one-month celebration, someone who knew the story behind their arranged engagement and broken engagement told her:
“That bastard Xiao Chuan has been pining for Jiang Yanyan to call him ‘big brother’ for over ten years!”
"Beautiful, scheming" street dance star vs. not entirely rational *chief designer*
"From the heroine's perspective: falling in love after marriage. From the hero's perspective: devoted love"
"Age gap, one-on-one, happy ending, both leads have no past relationships"
Theme: Stay true to the one you love
