Reunion After Years Apart | Unrequited Love Comes True | Cool, Composed Woman | Devoted Puppy
Su Nanqiao fell in love with a man, gradually piecing together what he was like through seven years of online conversations.
Chinese, three years older than her, studied in the United States, worked on Wall Street after graduating, and was good at investing. He used to dislike exercise, but started working out after his health deteriorated. He surfed in summer and skied in winter, had lots of friends, lived in the United States, and occasionally returned to China to visit his family. He was married.
Su Nanqiao thought that her life was full of one calamity after another.
Chen Ziyou had had a crush on Su Nanqiao for years, but they were separated when he went abroad to study. After returning to China and achieving some success with his startup, he went to find her at the first opportunity, only to discover that she had changed completely. Most importantly, she had a boyfriend.
Before he even had time to feel sad, he discovered that the boyfriend was a fictional version of himself. He wanted to come clean, but then he saw Su Nanqiao weeping bitterly and drinking herself into oblivion over "that man." Guilt and heartache made him back down again.
So he comforted Su Nanqiao online as "Andre," while in real life frantically trying to steal his own girlfriend away, swinging that metaphorical hoe with all his might.
