[Marriage first, love later · Secret crush comes true · Distinguished x unruly]
Half a year after their wedding, Jin You finally returns to China.
As the most stylish heir to a wealthy family in Sucheng, he is welcomed home with a lavish reception thrown by his childhood friends, while one guest after another comes to toast him.
During the banquet, someone asks about his new wife.
Jin You looks at the contract he brought across the ocean for someone.
His tone is indifferent. “We met through a matchmaking arrangement. There's no love involved.”
The next moment, the private room door opens, and he sees his wife, Jiang Yining, sitting in a corner.
The room is noisy and full of smoke, exactly the kind of place she hates most.
To fit into his social circle, Jiang Yining is awkwardly lighting a cigarette for one of his friends.
Jin You watches her, his expression unreadable.

Jiang Yining's friends know that her good-girl image is only a facade. In reality, she has an imagination that runs wild and is full of surprises. It takes real skill to keep up with her.
Unfortunately, Jin You has never fallen for any of it.
After Jin You stands her up for what she can't remember how many times, Jiang Yining habitually clears the table and drags her suitcase to the airport.
That day, she is leaving for a study-abroad exchange. Just after she lands, a sudden downpour traps her outside a coffee shop.
A kind stranger is just about to offer her an umbrella when he suddenly hears someone call her name in Chinese.
Jin You, whom she hasn't seen for half a month, appears behind her. He looks more tired than usual, and his voice is so cold it nearly trembles. “How dare you?”
The pampered young master is abandoned for the first time in his life, just as he finishes an overseas acquisition, full of happy anticipation for a weeklong vacation with his wife.
But as soon as he gets off the plane, he is suddenly told two things:
First, Jiang Yining has gone abroad as an exchange student, for an indefinite period.
Second, he was the last person to find out.
