[Every kind of love can exist in this world, whether or not it can be accepted]

Jiang Yuan travels abroad, where she happens to run into Wei Zhen just as he's finishing work (?) and getting off the clock. After a few halting rounds of back-and-forth, she ends up getting kidnapped.

To her surprise, Wei Zhen doesn't ask for money or her life, so Jiang Yuan takes the opportunity to switch straight into living-together mode.

As they live together, Jiang Yuan is amazed to discover that this man not only looks good, but can also cook.

Jiang Yuan: You were the one who kidnapped me. So what's wrong with me refusing to leave?

The heroine has maxed-out combat skills and is very looks-obsessed.

Jiang Yuan: Wei Zhen, you're so handsome. Marry me.

Jiang Yuan: ...Wait, let's talk this out.

The heroine lives life on her own terms. Her parents controlled her when she was young, and now that she's free of them, she's basically letting loose.

The heroine is very forward. Most of the time, she takes ninety-nine steps toward him, while the hero takes half a step. In the end, she drags him along for the last half-step.

Jiang Yuan: Why don't you get together with me?

Jiang Yuan: Stay safe, boyfriend.

Jiang Yuan: Will you marry me?

Wei Zhen: ...How does a nineteen-year-old girl end up making so many moves?

The secondary couple is a lesbian couple, GL.

The heroine's best friend and the hero's best friend, with an eight-year age gap.

The heroine likes to play dumb in the early part of the story and enjoys pushing the hero's buttons.

The hero is rather hot-tempered at first, but will change somewhat later on.

The leads are not each other's firsts.
