After Cutting Contact with My Blind Date

Slacker vs. elite

Nearly thirty, Shu Yingran suffers a setback in her career and has no choice but to return to her hometown to coast through life. Her cousin sets her up with a promising young man. With little ambition but enough sense to keep her distance from a great catch, Shu Yingran becomes a zombie follower in his social media circle, just as he does in hers.

Two years later, still being pushed by her mother to go on one blind date after another, Shu Yingran makes the boldest decision of her life.

The next morning, her partner makes a solemn complaint:

"I used to be a very traditional person."

Shu Yingran: "..."

Does that mean she's supposed to be some kind of free spirit?

Shu Yingran tries to reason with him. "Dr. Pei, harassing medical staff is against the law. So is faking an injury to make a claim."

The traditional man furrows his brow. "Are you going to use me and dump me?"

Shu Yingran feels terribly wronged. "No, I would never!"

"Then take responsibility."

Before impulsively getting a marriage license, Shu Yingran drags Pei Jingyang to her favorite hot pot restaurant to calm down.

They haven't even gotten married yet, and they're already arguing over the soup base.

"They say people who can't even agree on what to eat will have a hard time staying together."

Pei Jingyang: "And?"

Shu Yingran: "Mildly spicy is my limit."

Pei Jingyang, who usually eats lightly seasoned food, immediately calls over the server. "Could we change the pot to half spicy broth, and make it extra numbing and spicy?"

A fairytale grounded in real life, a slow-burn everyday romance, one-on-one, both leads are each other's first and only partners
