A pampered, clingy, rich heiress-type campus heartthrob shou x a stingy, self-made tycoon gong with a doting boyfriend vibe
Wen Jingzhan, the campus heartthrob of Jingxia Academy of Fine Arts, is fair-skinned, handsome, and remarkably talented. He's a famous comic artist across the internet and a blogger with tens of millions of followers.
On the eve of his internship at Lingsui Technology Group, he publicly reposts a financial news story about the company's chairman:
@Wen Jingzhan: "Daddy Suizh i, you're drop-dead gorgeous! Please go easy on me from now on, and don't be too rough with this delicate flower of mine~"
Who could have guessed that a month into his internship, the idol filter in Wen Jingzhan's mind would shatter to pieces?
Zhong Suizhi not only takes an instant dislike to him and makes things difficult for him at every turn, but also criticizes him for spending too much. He's so penny-pinching that he nitpicks over every little thing and tries to force his miserly values on him.
Wen Jingzhan angrily deletes the post.
Then, in the middle of the night, he emails a hundred examples of Zhong Suizhi's freakishly stingy behavior.
The email ends with a resounding flourish: Zhong Suizhi, I spend my own money. What business is it of yours? Butt out!
He goes on a shopping spree all night.
A villa, a yacht, antique paintings and calligraphy, the latest season's designer couture... He blows over a billion yuan in a single night.
How satisfying!
But the next day, Zhong Suizhi catches him in the office and pins him against the wall.
"Didn't you tell me not to go easy on you?"
--
Zhong Suizhi can't stand Wen Jingzhan's habit of spending money like water and wasting resources, so he moves into the apartment opposite Wen Jingzhan's, hoping to teach him the fine virtues of thrift and frugality.
But Wen Jingzhan refuses to learn.
He even leads Zhong astray, gradually teaching him to spend money too.
All Wen Jingzhan has to do is toss out a casual compliment: "Oh, Chairman Zhong's finally willing to spend a little?" "Daddy Suizhi's so generous!" "Daddy looks so handsome when he's being generous!"... and Zhong Suizhi will be genuinely happy for half a day.
So he starts lavishing Wen Jingzhan with gifts: limited-edition collectibles, designer clothes and shoes, watches worth a fortune...
Wen Jingzhan is overwhelmed: "Zhong Suizhi, why are you suddenly being so nice to me? Have you lost your mind? You're spending so much money on me. Don't you think it's wasteful?"
Faced with all four questions, Zhong Suizhi answers without hesitation: "...I only spend my money on my wife."
Wen Jingzhan's cheeks instantly turn bright red. "Zhong Suizhi, you've really got some nerve!"
Waste is shameful, but you can spend my love as freely as you like.
