Man Xinghe (bottom): Aloof beauty on the clock, sharp-tongued champion after work, single by merit, never makes the first move, never refuses, never takes responsibility, specializes in dealing with all kinds of hapless fools
Yuan Ye (top): Master of overthinking, disaster of unrequited love, disillusioned idealizer, searching for his lost moonlight, urgently seeking mute medicine, flies in the sky and kneels on the ground

Man Xinghe: I'm a relic restorer. Cool and refined at work, sharp-tongued after hours, single since birth. My life's ambition is simple: marry a pretty wife and enjoy a peaceful life.
Then, just because I filled out a form incorrectly, the System forced a one-meter-ninety-tall helicopter pilot on me.
He says he fell in love with me at first sight, waited three years before finally tricking me into his grasp, and that I'm his aloof beauty.
I say, "Are you sure? Because I'm about to open my mouth and speak."
Yuan Ye: I'm a helicopter pilot. I spent two years waiting in the assignment pool for that one person.
Three years ago, I caught a fleeting glimpse of him in the relic restoration room. He was as quiet as an ink painting, and I remembered him for three whole years.
Three years later, I finally tricked him into my grasp.
I was overjoyed. I was delirious with happiness.
Then he opened his mouth and spoke.
...Where can I buy mute medicine? Urgent, waiting online.
Man Xinghe: I'm the unlucky guy who had to quit and go freelance after my employer ran out of funds. My studio is in an urban village, with rent of eight hundred a month. I restore family trees, repair old paintings, and argue with clients.
He left a bank card on my shoe cabinet. The PIN was my birthday. I said I'd treat it as an investment and pay him back later.
Whoever falls first is a dog: Woof.
Yuan Ye: I'm the only son, left powerless by my uncle and besieged by my cousins after my chairman grandfather died.
I won every small battle, but my uncle still had more money, more people, and more connections than I did.
My uncle had a good eye. He lent me five hundred thousand to invest in his studio.
Whoever falls first is a dog: Woof.
Theme: True love isn't a fantasy seen through rose-colored glasses. It's accepting someone as they really are.
