The Fridge Is Broken

Chai Zhu is known in their circle as a dodder flower:

beautiful, fragile, and only able to survive by clinging to others.

At a dimly lit nightclub, her arranged-marriage match, He Sui, is surrounded by beautiful women.

Only Chai Zhu is left standing alone.

Her expensive dress is stained, like rose petals beginning to wilt.

Everyone is laughing at Chai Zhu.

She lowers her eyes, completely unconcerned.

"It's fine. If it's dirty, I'll just change."

But at the restroom entrance, the man who was just acting so arrogantly pins Chai Zhu against the wall. His eyes are bloodshot as he grits his teeth and demands:

"So I'm just a tool for you to get revenge on that man?"

"Chai Zhu, what do you really want?"

--

What does she want?

Chai Zhu thinks for a moment. Her mind is filled with only Xu Jiazhen,

the man she called "older brother" for two years.

"I only think of you as a younger sister" was the most genuine gift he ever gave her.

The coldness she learned was all thanks to him.

She knows how satisfying it feels to toy with someone's feelings, then crush them with a casual, "I only think of you as a friend."

Chai Zhu learned the lesson, and successfully got her revenge on Xu Jiazhen.

--

Rumors spread through their circle that the marriage alliance between the He and Chai families is probably off,

because one of them is constantly surrounded by women,

while the other has been seen spending the night at strange men's homes several times.

After hearing the news, He Sui drives over in the middle of the night and knocks on the strange man's door.

Xu Jiazhen stands there in a gray dressing gown, arms crossed, completely at ease. The lipstick mark on his chin, however, is impossible to ignore.

"You homewrecker! How shameless!" He Sui curses.

Xu Jiazhen scoffs. His tone is breezy, yet commanding.

"Don't flatter yourself. You don't mean that much to her."

--

The dodder flower is also known as "the Devil's thread."

It clings to others all its life, but only for its own sake.

Xu Jiazhen uses himself as bait to lure in his own dodder flower.

"I put my love for you in the fridge."

"But the fridge broke, and my love went bad, too."

Steady, unhinged man X cold-hearted, delicate woman

The male lead is Xu Jiazhen. Two men compete for one woman.
