Jiang Qingwan, twenty-seven, is a ravishing beauty with so many admirers that they could line up from the east side of the city all the way to the west.
And yet, she has been in love twice, and been dumped both times.
Her first love, Xu Jing, used to swear she loved only her, her eyes so tender they could drown a person.
Then when they broke up, Xu Jing left nothing but a note saying, "We're not right for each other," and vanished without a trace.
Her next girlfriend, Du Lengyu, was even worse. When she was in love, she promised Jiang Qingwan the moon and stars.
When she fell out of love, she could switch faces in an instant, toss out a curt "I'm bored," and walk away without looking back.
Jiang Qingwan: Fine. I'm closing my heart and swearing off love! I'd sooner date a dog!
Then her first love, Xu Jing, came back.
The impoverished girl who once wore a shirt washed pale had transformed into the eldest daughter of the wealthiest Du family. Xu Jing clutched her wrist, eyes red, and said, "Qingwan, back then I was afraid you'd suffer with me... Can I pursue you again?"
Jiang Qingwan thought about Xu Jing's status and withdrew the hand she'd been about to use to splash her with coffee: ...
Before she could even process this TV-drama-worthy turn of events, Du Lengyu suddenly came back too.
Her former cold and aloof girlfriend was now waiting outside her apartment building, insisting on apologizing and admitting she'd been wrong.
"I'm not really the Du family's heiress. I was afraid you'd suffer with me, so I broke up with you. I was wrong."
Jiang Qingwan: ??? Is she really not allowed to swear?
And it got even more ridiculous...
Xu Jing smiled. "Wanwan, you absolutely cannot get together with her. She's trying to get back together with you just to get revenge on me."
Du Lengyu sneered. "You're the one with a twisted mind! Don't assume everyone else is as twisted as you!"
Caught between them, Jiang Qingwan shoved them both away. "If you want to act out some rich-family feud, turn left and go to Hengdian! Don't perform it in my home!"
Her warning did no good. Xu Jing pinned her against the floor-to-ceiling window of an art gallery and pleaded with her.
"Wanwan, forgive me just once, okay? Just once. Choose me, please? Take pity on me..."
The next second, a hand appeared at Jiang Qingwan's lower back, and Du Lengyu pulled her away.
"Stop pretending to be pitiful. She's my girlfriend. Wanwan, you'll only choose me, right?"
Jiang Qingwan tilted her head toward the sky, wanting to yell at the moon: "I choose being single!!!"
But Xu Jing's fingertips brushed her face, while Du Lengyu's arm wrapped around her waist.
Jiang Qingwan: Does she really have to star in this rich-family melodrama?
