Lu Ling confides in her best friend: "I'm breaking up with him."
Her best friend raises an eyebrow. "Why?"
Lu Ling: "He's a jerk."
Her best friend grows serious. "Tell me everything."
Lu Ling: "He's six years younger than me, handsome, considerate, sweet-talking, with rock-hard abs and a soft chest. He comes from a happy family, has a successful career, is young and strong, generous and loyal. He fell in love with me at first sight, and has been hopelessly devoted to me ever since, pursuing me shamelessly for two years."
Her best friend: "This isn't a wishing well."
Lu Ling: "He's definitely running a romance scam."
Her best friend: "Holy crap, what a jerk! Dump him!"
Ji Feng confides in his best friend: "I'm breaking up with her."
His best friend raises an eyebrow. "Why?"
Ji Feng: "She's a jerk."
His best friend grows serious. "Tell me everything."
Ji Feng: "She's six years older than me, cool on the outside but warmhearted, wise yet unassuming, clever, resolute, mature, and compassionate. After my years of steadfastly crushing on her and doggedly pursuing her, she finally became my girlfriend. We had a romantic, sweet relationship."
His best friend: "That sounds great."
Ji Feng: "Then she said she was only playing around with me."
His best friend: "Holy crap, what a jerk! Dump her!"
Lu Ling: "You're right. Let's break up."
Ji Feng: "Like hell we will. I'd rather die than break up!"
Cold-faced woman x warm-hearted man
Content warnings:
1. The female lead is sharp-tongued and emotionally conflicted. The male lead is very devoted to her, but they're both intensely romance-minded, just in different ways.
2. The secondary couple has a domineering-and-spoiled dynamic and gets a small amount of page time.
3. The workplace scenes are fairly realistic, while the romance is more like a fairy tale.
