A slow-witted, determined, career-minded female screenwriter vs. a hooker-oriented, marriage-hungry, love-obsessed male Party A Marriage first, love later | A kind of reconciliation | A male secret crush, with a slightly quirky side to the male lead 1. Zhuang Yu imagined countless scenarios of meeting Gu Jian, her long-lost friend, but none of them included: her going on a blind date with a stranger to earn back her marriage fee, while he drove by in a sleek, well-dressed luxury car. After a night of drunkenness, Zhuang Yu woke up in an unfamiliar room and vaguely remembered something absurd that had happened the previous night. She feigned composure, but Gu Jian calmly lowered his gaze and looked at her. "You remember correctly, I proposed to you last night." Just as Zhuang Yu stared at him, stunned, he casually dropped another bombshell: "And you said yes." … One day after get off work, Zhuang Yu had a date with her blind date, but unexpectedly ran into the young and handsome Party A representative her colleagues had mentioned. It turned out to be Gu Jian, who had proposed to her not long ago. I had thought someone as proud as Gu Jian wouldn't linger after being rejected, but I didn't expect him, as Party A of a partner company, to also attend a departmental team-building event that had nothing to do with him. In the dimly lit corridor, he leaned against the cold wall in his suit and tie. He glanced at the blind date behind him, then stared at her with a chuckle and asked, "Now, do you like this type?" After marriage, Gu Jian occasionally recalled Zhuang Yu's sincere words when she first rejected his proposal. She had said, "Gu Jian, I always believed that whoever married you would be very happy, because I believed you had the ability to make others happy, the ability to love." Gu Jian was silent for a moment; he hadn't even realized he had such abilities. He stared at the person in his arms, legitimately suspecting he had been given a new kind of "nice guy" card. If I were really that good, why didn't you want me?

This isn't a story of grand gestures or epic confessions. It's a slow burn, as quiet and biting as a winter wind in a city that has forgotten you. We meet Solemn Yu as she navigates the messy, often unfair reality of adulting—toxic workplaces, parental pressures, and the ever-present question of "what now?" Then, a ghost from her past, Gu Jian, walks back into her life, bringing with him a silence full of unspoken things and questions she thought she had long since buried. What follows is a painfully real exploration of what happens after a friendship shatters. It's the awkward dance of two people who know each other too well and not at all, navigating the minefield of past hurts, pride, and the fragile hope of a second chance. This story is for anyone who has ever wondered if you can truly go back, or if the people we used to be are lost to us forever. It’s a story that stays with you, a quiet reminder that sometimes the biggest adventures are the ones we take in the heart.
