Qu Jie had an unhappy marriage that ended in disaster.
The day she met Zhao Yuanyang for a blind date, she was in a terrible mood and couldn't be bothered with pleasantries. She rejected him outright:
"I've been married before, but I can't be irresponsible with myself. I can't get a marriage certificate just to appease my parents and settle for sharing a life with someone."
She glanced at the car parked at the entrance.
"It doesn't matter how good your circumstances are. That isn't important to me."
Zhao Yuanyang was a promising young man chosen by Qu Jie's parents, and a hot commodity on the dating market.
Seeing how angry she was, he got her a cold drink.
"All right, I understand." He wasn't upset by her rejection, and his expression remained calm. "I'm curious. What matters most to you in a marriage?"
Qu Jie answered without even thinking. "Love."
I'll only marry someone I love.
Even if I have to wait ten thousand years and get hurt ten thousand times, I still believe in love.
These days, people call hopeless romantics something fancy: warriors who charge into battle for love.
Zhao Yuanyang remembered the first time he'd seen Qu Jie, years ago. She was playing tennis in the university gym, and he'd spent the whole class staring at her, completely smitten.
Thinking of that, he smiled at her.
"What a coincidence. Me too."
