The heroine's side:

Zhao Wanying has turned down bouquets from countless admirers, but she falls for Dai Qingchuan. He is always smiling, looking at her with gentle warmth. "Have I caused you trouble, Officer Zhao? I'm sorry."

One day, Dai Qingchuan inexplicably becomes Zhao Wanying's neighbor.

On a day of torrential rain, soaked through, he knocks on Zhao Wanying's door. His face flushed and his body seeming frail, he says he forgot his keys and asks if he can stay with her.

The next morning, he even gets up early to make breakfast as a thank-you. Zhao Wanying enjoys the delicious food and watches him bustle about in an apron, feeling warm inside. The thought crosses her mind that it might be nice to have a boyfriend like this at home.

Zhao Wanying saves Dai Qingchuan three times, and he comes right to her door to offer himself to her in return.

At first, Zhao Wanying says, "I'm not that kind of person!"

Then, Zhao Wanying says, "It's pretty nice having someone cook at home."

Finally, Zhao Wanying asks, "When are we getting married?"

The hero's side:

As a child on Shui Si Island, Dai Qingchuan was saved by a girl with cancer, and she even ended up with another scar because of him.

When he grows up, he can never find the person from his memories.

During a fire, he meets Zhao Wanying, who is also from Shui Si Island. Following the principle of being willing to mistake a thousand people rather than let one slip by, Dai Qingchuan begins approaching her.

She isn't quite like the person in his memories, but he can't help wanting to get closer to her. He quietly tells himself that he only wants to confirm whether she is that person.

But then someone named Qiu Qingqing appears, and her features gradually match those in his memories.

Yet when Dai Qingchuan sees Zhao Wanying and Qiu Qingqing standing together, he is dumbstruck.

Zhao Wanying: "Cousin, is he the one you said wanted to use his position to sleep with you?"

P.S. The hero never mistakes one person for another, not even once! He only loves the heroine!

Zhao Wanying meeting Dai Qingchuan is an accident, and saving him is an accident.

But his falling for her is part of a long-planned scheme. He patiently lures her in until she walks right into his trap.

Bonus scene:

One day, Zhao Wanying returns after staying up all night on stakeout and sees a heap of scraps scattered by the door. She picks them up and realizes they look like pieces of a men's shirt that has been cut to shreds. Confused, she asks, "Dai Qingchuan, what happened to this shirt?"

Dai Qingchuan looks innocent. "It seemed pretty old, so I thought you might not want it anymore. I used it for rags."

Zhao Wanying: "That doesn't look like my shirt."

Dai Qingchuan kicks the scraps aside and hangs his clothes in the closet one by one.

If it's not her shirt, that's even easier. He absolutely won't allow another man's belongings in their space.

There's no other reason. He's just that jealous.

Zhao Wanying: "That looks like my dad's shirt."

Dai Qingchuan: "??? Dad... Dad's shirt... No... No way."
