A taciturn, loyal, cool guy VS a pampered little princess ★ Both are sweet on the outside, scheming underneath ★
1.
Atang is the only daughter of the Zhang family in S City. Her parents adore her, her older brother and sister-in-law dote on her, and she's sweet and kind. She can have anything she wants.
But somehow, she falls for Xu Chi.
Xu Chi's ideal woman is studying business at a college in M Country, while Atang can only paint and play in the mud.
-
Eighteen-year-old Atang just wants to grow up quickly and marry Xu Chi as soon as possible.
Twenty-eight-year-old Zhang Xiantang is the new generation's inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage in Porcelain City. Her acclaimed porcelain-panel painting, Spring in Jiangnan, is invited to be exhibited in M Country.
Xu Chi visits the exhibition with a friend and sees his former fiancée's masterpiece. His friend laughs. "Isn't that your little Atang?"
The distinguished young heir can only smile bitterly. His little Atang is no longer waiting for him. Someone else is by her side.
Eight years ago, he was pining for someone else. Eight years later, he finally comes to his senses, but little Atang has already walked away.
2.
On Atang's twenty-first birthday, the man who promised to come propose doesn't show up, and she gets into a car accident. Her brother tells her to find a new bodyguard. She doesn't like any of the candidates from the best security company in the business.
Then she happens to meet Qin Zhong, who's just returned from abroad. He's tall and broad-shouldered, with a stern expression and bulging muscles. He looks like a bodyguard through and through.
"I'll take him, then," she says, pointing at the man.
-
The security company manager is sweating buckets. Th-that's his business partner!
Atang, who has money to burn, says, "Isn't he in the brochure? I'll take him. Name your price."
The boss is just about to explain when a cool voice comes from behind him. "One hundred thousand a month. No haggling."
-
Her new bodyguard is tall, handsome, and strong. He makes her look great when she takes him out, and he's especially obedient.
While Xu Chi watches fireworks with his ideal woman, Qin Zhong takes her to watch a satellite launch.
While Xu Chi gives her a diamond to apologize, Qin Zhong teaches Atang how to grow diamonds.
When Xu Chi and his ideal woman break up, Qin Zhong says, "A leopard can't change its spots."
-
Atang thinks he's right. Atang is a tiny bit sad, because Qin Zhong says he can only renew his contract for one more year.
Atang calculates her savings and figures she should have enough if she's careful. She gazes at him hopefully. "Can we renew it for fifty years?"
Qin Zhong sighs. He could actually work for free. He really doesn't need the money.
