Longing, waiting, days too short and hearts too full.

As night falls, we hold each other close.

A workday with chilly winds and rain on the way is no time for a romantic story.

After work, Jiang Chang dozed off holding the subway handrail and returned to her thoughts of quitting. She wanted out of the life of "a 4,000-yuan monthly salary, with not a penny left after all the living expenses."

Then she met Zhao Shen, a man who spent every day wondering, "How much do I need to save to retire at forty?"

-

Jiang Chang divided the world simply and brutally into two parts: things she hated and things she didn't.

After meeting Jiang Chang, Zhao Shen divided everyone and everything into two categories: things related to Jiang Chang and things unrelated to Jiang Chang.

She said, "Xianxian, I have nothing."

She thought he would say, "You have me," but instead he asked, "Then do you want me?"

-

A relatively upbeat but utterly disillusioned heroine x a hero who's all about making money, with just a touch of romance.

* Sweet romance, sweet romance, sweet romance.

* [Content warning] The hero was a real mess during his rebellious phase and had many girlfriends, but the only person he has ever belonged to, body and soul, is the heroine. If that bothers you, please don't read. The story clearly explains what happened and why, so if you don't like it, just move on. Please don't make baseless accusations. Thanks.

* Simply put, two people with unhappy pasts who don't believe in love fall head over heels for each other and never climb back out.

(Shen, pronounced shen, means striving with determination.)

The title comes from Yidong's "Someone Will Fall to Earth for You."

Theme: Love can overcome anything
