A battered secondhand car lurches out of a tunnel. Song Jinyi returns to her small town like a walking corpse and has an eventful New Year.
After several disastrous blind dates and shouting matches, Song Jinyi hatches a mean little scheme and posts a casting call on a trading platform. The requirements are as follows:
Pretend to be my boyfriend for one year. During that time, you'll play an ex who goes from being in love to indifferent, from polite to rude, and eventually cheats on me. No education requirements. You must be convincing and a good actor, preferably feisty and unreasonable.
Later, an ID called Chopped Chili Goldfish knocks on her lock screen: See you tomorrow.
Song Jinyi arrives in style at the Hongmen Banquet. Sitting across the round table, she glares fiercely at the refined, dignified man in front of her. He takes apart the chopped chili fish head, then arrogantly places the plate in front of Song Jinyi. "Long time no see."
Song Jinyi lowers her eyes lightly. Red, oily broth from the fish head splashes onto the plate in front of her, looking like blood. She knows it's a warning from him, but chooses to ignore it.
"I told you we weren't suited to a deal." Song Jinyi plucks out the fish eye and places it on Shen Weikang's plate. "You let your emotions take over. You're always the one who ruins things."
Song Jinyi's words prove prophetic. Later, Shen Weikang repeatedly ruins her deals with other people in the most brazen, unreasonable ways.
In the end, Shen Weikang suffers the consequences. Red-eyed, he kneels before Song Jinyi, burying his face against her knees and rubbing against them pitifully. "Wife, what do I have to do to please you?"

Theme: Rejection, insults, and slander all prove you're strong enough to make people fear you
