Story One: A money-loving merchant's daughter x a calculating, vindictive young master from an aristocratic family
Little scene:
Everyone at Baichuan Academy knows that Guan Ran isn't afraid of the powerful, and does as she pleases. The only person who can somewhat stand up to her is Wei Ciyuan, eldest young master of the Wei family.
"It was you, wasn't it? You told the teacher about my secret method for copying the disciplinary essay." At noon, Guan Ran blocked someone's path.
"If you don't want people to find out, don't do it. Next time, you should be more careful," the gentle, jade-like gentleman kindly advised her.
"Well, thank you so much, Young Master Wei," Guan Ran replied through gritted teeth.
"We're fellow students. There's no need to thank me." Wei Ciyuan gave a slight nod.
They smiled at each other, their eyes meeting like fire and water.
Seeing this, the academy students were deeply moved. "Brother Wei truly is a gentleman of noble character. He inspires the highest admiration."
A hypocrite with a Buddha's face and a snake's heart. One day, I'll expose you for who you really are. Watching Wei Ciyuan's polished manners, Guan Ran went home furious and ground ink for the whole night.
Story Two: A worker who loves slacking off but loves freedom even more x a CEO who seems cold but is actually incredibly good-tempered
Little scene:
Years later, Tong Qianwei, now a tycoon in her own right, is interviewed by a reporter.
"What did you gain and lose when you went from working at a high-paying big tech company to running a junk shop?"
"I gained happiness, but lost my worries."
Tong Qianwei replies with a pained expression.
Mo Wen, standing behind her, is a little unhappy. "Don't I count as something you gained?"
Story Three: The clever and graceful eldest daughter of the Lin family x an irascible doctor who responds to kindness, not force
Little scene:
"You're proposing to someone you've barely known for any time at all. Have you lost your mind?" Lin Xi takes three steps back.
"You could say that. I really am going crazy from how much I like you." Jiang Wen presses forward, backing her into a corner.
"W-what are you doing?" Lin Xi starts to panic.
Jiang Wen chuckles softly and interlaces his fingers with hers, standing so close that Lin Xi can almost see her reflection in his eyes.
"Why, I'm getting a head start on building a relationship with my future wife." The handsome man kisses the stunned Lin Xi.
