Poor boy Lin Hao clutches the marriage certificate his grandfather gave him on his deathbed, climbs two mountains and walks twenty miles down the mountain just to break off the childhood engagement with Tang Wanqing, CEO of the multibillion-dollar Tang Group. Standing downstairs in the Tang Building, he touches his patchwork coat and worries inwardly: "The CEO must think I'm poor—I'll break off the engagement quickly and go back to grow tea on the mountain." Unbeknownst to him, Tang Wanqing is standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, watching the nervous him below, and clearly hearing his thoughts—not greed, not clinging, but fear of "being unworthy" of her. Tang Wanqing was holding a coffee, ready to ask her secretary to kick him out, but when she heard, "She's so bright; I'm afraid getting close will dirty her," her ears suddenly flushed. The always cold and proud CEO changed her mind in an instant, stepped down in ten-centimeter heels, snatched the marriage certificate from his hand, and said: "Want to break off the engagement? Too late! Tang Wanqing's fiancé can only be you." Lin Hao stared wide-eyed at the powerful woman in front of him, his head buzzing: "I clearly came to break off the engagement—how did it turn into a proposal?"
