To sum up Fang Qingmian and Lu Manzhou’s first meeting: love at first sight between two people with ulterior motives.
Lu Manzhou often wondered: if there had been no repeated twists and turns in their schemes, would he have fallen in love with Fang Qingmian?
That day, he had drunk too much and stepped outside for some air. Half-asleep, he saw a girl beneath the flowers, as if she had become one with them. In her crimson qipao, she was graceful and alluring. She seemed close enough to touch, yet as fleeting as a bubble on water or a flower in bloom. Before he could ask her name, she fled.
Beneath the crimson flowers, a businessman who had spent years fighting his way through the marketplace still could not escape the beauty that dazzled his eyes.
Fang Qingmian set this romantic trap with herself as bait. She drew him in, and he was powerless to escape.
I can't understand what kind of psychology this kind of parents have. Such barbaric behavior really exists in reality.
