Mr. Xia's Persona Has Crumbled

Xia Houyan seems aloof and desireless, but beneath that calm exterior he is ruthless and merciless.

He keeps a city in his heart that no one is allowed to touch.

If anyone dares so much as lay a finger on it, he’ll fight them to the death.

I.

It all began with a melodramatic misunderstanding.

They thought they’d never cross paths again after going their separate ways.

When they meet again, she says, “Mr. Xia, sorry to bother you. Let me borrow something precious.”

Xia Houyan slowly raises his eyes. After a long pause, he asks, “Miss Qiao, how will you return what you borrow?”

Qiao Tianqi: ...

II.

At a high-level business summit one day, the domineering CEO Xia has a Bluetooth earpiece in and both hands busy typing on his phone.

Seeing his stern, icy expression, the assembled bigwigs assume he’s negotiating a deal worth tens of billions. No one dares interrupt.

Then someone happens to glance at his screen. Their jaw drops, and their expression turns indescribable.

The CEO’s domineering persona crumbles in an instant.

The reason? While supposedly negotiating a deal worth tens of billions, he’s busy arguing with Miss Qiao’s armies of husband-and-wife fans.

III.

Miss Qiao is short on cash. One day, during a livestream, she calls out flatly, “Hey, everyone, let’s get this party started! Send those flowers and yachts!”

In an instant, the screen fills with yacht gifts from an account named “Qiao Qiao’s Husband.”

Miss Qiao looks at the username. “Thanks to this... um...”

IV.

The all-powerful CEO Xia sits in a private booth, brows furrowed.

His childhood friends gather around to offer advice.

The reason? The twenty-eight-year-old man is desperate to get married.

Unfortunately, the woman he loves, the award-winning actress Qiao, is completely uninterested in marriage.

A sweet romance, with both leads sexually inexperienced, from school days to the wedding aisle.
