[Short-tempered, boisterous, weepy CEO x sharp-tongued, soft-hearted veterinarian who dotes on her wife]
College girl Gu Shiyu transmigrates into a melodramatic modern romance novel she'd read, becoming CEO Gu Qiutong. In the book, she is not only beautiful but also a career powerhouse. The other female lead, Yuan Yi, is her destined love and works as a veterinarian.
A night out at a bar in Australia binds their fates together.
Drunk and soaked, Gu Qiutong clashes with the seasoned professional from the moment they meet. She has a temper like a raging fire. In a drunken haze, Gu Qiutong yells, "Which idiot did that?"
Her assistant follows behind, watching coldly from the sidelines. Unable to hold back, Yuan Yi replies, "I'm the idiot. Are you planning to hit me or what?"
Gu Qiutong tries to take a swing, emboldened by the alcohol. The assistant, afraid she'll end up in the headlines, steps in. "That's enough, CEO!"
[Bonus Scene]
Everyone thinks she's still my girlfriend. Only I know that this hair-trigger, seemingly flirtatious CEO holds the blue cat pillow my younger sister gave her and quietly asks it, "Does she still want me?"
As her ex-boyfriend, all I can do is call Yuan Yi.
When Yuan Yi arrives, she gently takes the sobbing woman from me.
Yuan Yi asks, "Miss Gu, why did you drink so much?"
Gu Shiyu, barely conscious, says, "Yuan Yi, do you know I've liked you for years?"
"Why do you have to like Gu Qiutong? I hate her. I can't stand her."
Yuan Yi looks at her wife babbling nonsense and says fondly, "Bro, Qiutong must have had quite a lot to drink. I'll stay here with her. You can go home."
Yuan Yi's brother, Yuan Yi, gives a slight shake of his head. When he leaves, Yuan Yi carefully lays Gu Shiyu on the bed.
Yuan Yi thoughtfully runs a bath for her. Holding her in both arms, she watches Gu Shiyu sway unsteadily.
"I'm going to throw up!" At those words, Yuan Yi's face darkens a little.
Yuan Yi says, "Gu Shiyu, are you trying to kill yourself?" Her eyes are full of concern.
Gu Shiyu, tears at the corners of her eyes, clings to her even tighter. "You know I'm not Gu Qiutong?"
Yuan Yi nods. "Would I not recognize my own wife?"
"Silly girl."
