Novel description:
A cool, dazzling beauty who's soft and sweet inside x a handsome, proud CEO who's sincere at heart
People meeting one another is a wondrous thing. The first time Zhang Zhenying sees Liang Manlin, she is standing alone beneath a pear tree in a simple, pristine white qipao. She seems to have a haze of rosy clouds surrounding her, like a celestial maiden floating among them. He instinctively wants to pluck this untouchable flower and keep her all to himself.
Liang Manlin is a household-name child star who left the entertainment industry to focus on her studies. At nineteen, she learns that the story of her grandmother, once the leading courtesan of Shanghai, is to be made into a film. So Liang Manlin puts aside her pride and attends a rather unsavory dinner, all for a chance to play her grandmother.
The first time Liang Manlin sees Zhang Zhenying, he's a well-dressed, impeccably mannered fool, staring at her in her most embarrassing state. He stays and doesn't leave, just to offer her a clean handkerchief.
The story opens in 1998, tracing the changing times as the twentieth century draws to a close and portraying the glitz and glamour of the entertainment industry in the 1990s, along with the succession of its beauties.
