Wen Zhili took her daughter to the city to meet her arranged match.
He was the childhood betrothal her family had arranged for her, and he didn't mind her past relationships.
Before she left, her mother repeatedly told her to be warm and outgoing. City people didn't like honest, unsophisticated country bumpkins.
Wen Zhili took the advice to heart.
After getting off the train, she waited for someone on the stuffy platform. Soon, a beautiful woman as cold as ice and snow found her. The woman had an aloof, striking air, like the bright moon in the night sky, and was even more beautiful and cool than Wen Zhili remembered.
Wen Zhili stopped breathing. She ran over and threw herself into the woman's arms. "Big Sister..."
Chi Feiran froze for a moment but didn't push her away. "Sorry I'm late. I'll take you both home."
Chi Feiran had been driven to excel from childhood, with every step of her life carefully planned, like a preset AI that allowed no mistakes.
Then her mother fell ill, forcing Chi Feiran to take over the faltering Chi family. In three years, she had risen to a position of considerable influence in their circles and become the head of the Chi family.
When she received an overseas call from a subordinate, they asked her to help with a problem.
"My fiancee from the countryside is coming to stay with me, but I'm away on a business trip overseas..."
Before the subordinate could finish, Chi Feiran cut in. "Focus on your work. I'll take care of her for you."
"You can rest assured. She's honest and simple, and she's great at taking care of people. She won't cause you any trouble."
Later, when she met Wen Zhili, who had come all the way from the countryside, she saw her lively eyes and the shy little girl peeking out from behind her.
The subordinate told her that Wen Zhili had separated from her wife and was raising her daughter alone. She had come to the city to forget the past and start a new life.
Then one day, Chi Feiran came home early from a business trip and found Wen Zhili drunk, holding a photo of her and mumbling, calling her "wife."
Chi Feiran felt her heart stir. She helped Wen Zhili into bed and took care of her, solving her subordinate's problem once and for all.
But half a year later, the subordinate who had repeatedly promised not to disturb their lives showed up at her door and declared, "She's my wife."
Wen Zhili obediently let the subordinate lead her away by the wrist. Chi Feiran stood frozen in place, her expression dark.
At the same time, Wen Zhili finally realized that the bad woman in the city didn't remember her at all.
The next time Chi Feiran saw Wen Zhili was downstairs at the office. Every day, Wen Zhili brought lunch for the subordinate, with her daughter in tow.
The subordinate said they were trying to make things work and would get together if they were a good match.
After a long silence, Chi Feiran sent the subordinate overseas on another assignment.
That night, Wen Zhili complained through teary eyes, "You can reject me and our daughter, but you can't stop me from finding her a new mother."
Chi Feiran had no memory at all of what had happened between them.
What on earth was going on?
Bonus Scene:
Chi Feiran found a clue on her old phone.
It was the list of dating rules she'd sent Wen Zhili three years earlier:
A good-morning and good-night kiss every day, ten times a week. Miss any, and you'll have to make them up.
The next day, with the whole company watching, Chi Feiran led Wen Zhili into her office.
Chi Feiran promised, "You missed out on three years: 156 weeks, 1,560 kisses. I'll make them all up to you."
Wen Zhili: "..."
