1.

When the young painter Ning Zhili first met Jiang Lin'an, his clothes were half undone, his gaze cool and distant, and every muscle was exactly the sort of thing she adored.

She'd heard that people captivated by his looks lined up all the way from the capital to France, so she took a different approach and offered him a high-paying job.

As his employer, she was supposed to be the one calling the shots. Who could have guessed the employee would have such an imposing air, get spoiled and presumptuous, and try to turn the tables and become the boss?

She slapped some money on the table. "Stay right here. Don't move. I'm going to buy you some oranges!"

2.

Jiang Lin'an was a lofty flower atop a cliff, courteous and considerate, yet proud and aloof. For over twenty years, no one had dared reach for him.

That is, until he met Ning Zhili.

When they first met, she had blue hair and a bright yellow skirt that barely covered her thighs. But when she struck up a conversation with him, her voice trembled slightly.

Then she transferred two thousand yuan to him without batting an eye.

When they met again, her black hair fell to her waist, and she wore a flowing, simple dress, paintbrush in hand, looking every bit the refined artist. Yet the first thing she said was that he should take off his clothes.

Then, after he scared her with just a few words, she fled in a panic.

For that bright splash of color, Mr. Jiang, long accustomed to being the client, accepted an utterly baffling part-time job.

3.

Many years later, a reporter asked Jiang Lin'an when he had first fallen for his wife. He glanced at Ning Zhili, dressed in sky blue and nestled in his arms, and replied gently, "She was young and beautiful, and generous with her money. It was hard to say no."

Ning Zhili thought his answer was perfunctory. He lowered his head and whispered, "I fell in love with you at first sight, too."

A spoiled, quirky young heiress vs. a gentle, secretly seductive wolf in sheep's clothing. A love story between grown-ups with a serious case of chuunibyou.

Synopsis

1.

On the eve of her promotion, Yao Muyang became pregnant. The father's identity was unknown, and whether he was alive or dead was anyone's guess.

At the hospital, she waited anxiously for her procedure, only for a middle-aged woman beside her to snatch the ultrasound picture from her hand. "Spare my grandchild!"

Yao Muyang was baffled. "May I ask who you are?"

The woman pointed at the tiny, two-centimeter oval. "You still won't admit it? He looks exactly like my son did as a child!"

2.

Chi Suining was summoned home at once by his mother. She pointed at Yao Muyang, who sat across from her looking completely bewildered. "Give her five million and a villa. I'll raise the baby after it's born."

He flatly refused. "No. I don't want this child."

Yao Muyang had finally found someone who understood. She nodded repeatedly. "I feel the same way."

Chi Suining pondered for a moment. "Let's get married first. We can have a child later."

Yao Muyang was stunned. "May I ask who you are, then?!"

3.

Chi Suining's life followed a precise trajectory: an outstanding graduate of a science and engineering university, the youngest senior manager at an auditing firm, then the man who led his family business back into the black in one year, took it public in two, and made it internationally renowned in three.

Yet at every important milestone in his life, he encountered an unpredictable variable.

That variable's name was Yao Muyang.

And in the end, she asked who he was?

He laid out their household register, bankbook, and front-door key in a neat row. "You can't be this irresponsible."

Yao Muyang was so frightened that she bolted. Oh no, she'd been swindled!
