Dou Niwan and Ying Xuan were together for four years before they finally made their relationship official. Their love was innocent and beautiful, and she thought she could hold on to it.
She never expected Ying Xuan's mother to come looking for her, gaze down at her with contempt, and ask coldly, "Do you think your family is worthy of ours?"
So his family was powerful and well connected. She could never measure up, so she would give him up. Losing love would hurt, but trading it for her dignity was worth it. She needed to live with her self-respect intact.
Heartbroken, she moved to the Magic City with her younger brother and tried to forget the past.
But why did she run into Zhao Yu, someone so far beyond her reach? He said love wasn't a business deal. He said he didn't care what society thought, and that love didn't require families to be well matched.
She kept trying to resist Zhao Yu's warmth. He was an onion with a distinctive scent, while she was a potato. They simply weren't alike.
Ying Xuan, back from studying abroad, came to find her too. He said he didn't care what his family thought.
How should she choose?
Did she really have to obey the rules of being well matched in status?
Was the worship of money the only faith worth having?
Was it childish, naive, and foolish to seek simple, romantic love?
All she wanted was a pure love with nothing to do with family, status, houses, or money.
She hoped she would never look back on her life with regret, feeling that it had been absurd or unfair.
Thankfully, she eventually found happiness!
