Shi Yi is doted on by her parents. Sweet and reserved, she always follows the rules and is the perfect good girl in everyone's eyes.
Fu Wenzhou, on the other hand, is rebellious and laid-back, does as he pleases, and is a notorious playboy and troublemaker.
They are complete opposites, and no one thinks they have anything to do with each other.
Until the Shi and Fu families sit down together to discuss Shi Yi's marriage to the eldest son of the Fu family, Fu Mingzhou. Fu Wenzhou, who is never home, rushes back from Los Angeles that very night.
Everyone assumes he's come home to celebrate his big brother's upcoming wedding.
Only Shi Yi knows that while their elders discuss the wedding downstairs, she is pinned against a floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor by Fu Wenzhou.
He lifts her chin, his voice cold. "Look at you, getting bold enough to try to be my sister-in-law."
Shi Yi smiles brightly. "Would you call me that?"
Fu Wenzhou doesn't call her that. Shi Yi is the one whose voice goes hoarse.
-
Everyone tells Shi Yi not to provoke Fu Wenzhou, the younger son of the Fu family. He's arrogant, wild, and irresponsible.
Defying convention and acting like a scoundrel are his motto.
Shi Yi doesn't just take the initiative to provoke Fu Wenzhou. She also carries on an ambiguous relationship with him for three years.
Until her parents suggest finding her a suitable husband.
For the first time, Shi Yi breaks their unspoken understanding. She tentatively says, "I'm getting married."
Fu Wenzhou shows no change in expression. He is as casual and nonchalant as ever. "Be good. That villa downtown is my wedding gift to you."
It's where they first met.
-
Shi Yi cuts ties with Fu Wenzhou completely.
Her parents introduce her to many possible husbands, and she chooses Fu Wenzhou's older brother, Fu Mingzhou, at first glance.
On the day of the wedding, Fu Wenzhou misbehaves once again and publicly carries her away from the ceremony.
Everyone watches as the usually lazy and carefree Fu Wenzhou loses his temper for the first time. He shoves Shi Yi into a car without giving her a choice and says fiercely, "You can forget about being my sister-in-law in this life. In the next life..."
He narrows his eyes. "Not even in the next life. I've claimed your next life too."
-
Shi Yi makes a risky move, but it brings her a resounding victory.
