Xie Lingyi has been having a bit of a hard time lately.
Her fiancé, chosen for a marriage alliance, is seven years older than her, and the old man has been getting more and more controlling over the past two years.
Always suspicious, he thinks she has someone on the side and keeps pressuring her to get married.
Her first love, who broke up with her after five years of cold war and then vanished without a trace, suddenly reappears.
He clings to her like a dog-skin plaster, showing her the scars on his wrists and throwing a tearful fit, insisting that after all these years, she is still the only one for him.
To make matters worse, her fiancé and her first love are uncle and nephew. The constant bickering at home drives her up the wall, so she can only move into an apartment near the university district.
The college boy who lives there is sweet and considerate. He doesn't interrogate her like her fiancé, or throw tantrums like her first love.
He's gentle and attentive, and she likes him very much.
Competition drives improvement, and only the brave can stand out.
The old man gets even bolder: Would they be willing to do this too?
Her first love takes off his clothes: As long as I can be with you, I'll do anything.
The college boy's eyes fill with tears: Whenever you want to come over, Sis, I'll have dinner waiting for you.
What do you say to temptation?
Not enough!
Reading guide: 1. The female lead is not a virgin, all male leads are virgins; one female lead to multiple male leads, with one-on-one relationships at different stages, and competing male suitors.
2. A universally adored female lead.
3. Lots of melodrama.
The following list is in no particular order (and there may be more):
Male Lead 1: An older man who is insecure and calculating, the female lead's fiancé, seven years older than her.
Male Lead 2: A childhood friend who turns gentle and obsessive after having her stolen from him, a pampered, delicate man.
Male Lead 3: A gentle, attentive, obedient, considerate, noncompetitive college boy with a perfect talent for playing innocent.
