Lai Zhiyun had graduated from university, was not interested in romance, and only wanted to focus on her career.
Yet her dad was particularly worried that she had limited experience and was susceptible to being obsessed with love.
Therefore, he utilized his "financial power" to get her to go on arranged dates.
Her dad said, "It's fine not to date, and it's fine not to marry and stay single forever,"
but you must get out and see the world.
So as not to have too little experience and be easily carried away by love.
Thus, the candidates for the arranged dates were very reliable, with high educational backgrounds, good family circumstances, as well as being tall, handsome, and having long legs.

It's often said that the relationship between a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is a major issue,
Mother-in-laws aren't mothers, and it's okay just to keep up appearances and get along on the surface.
Therefore, after getting married, Lai Zhiyun wanted to keep her distance from her mother-in-law,
but the mother-in-law wanted to become her best friend.
Before the marriage, the mother-in-law was a noblewoman of distinguished temperament, difficult to approach and aloof.
But after the marriage, Lai Zhiyun realized that her mother-in-law was one of her online friends.
And they both were fans of each other's careers.
Because of this, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was good, and the son became less important.
Before the marriage, Zhou Liao was his mother's precious firstborn son,
but after the marriage, the son wasn't as cherished as the daughter-in-law.

Zhou Liao thought his understanding and reasonable mother would be his love bodyguard,
but he never expected to have to guard against his own mother undermining him.

After marriage, there's joy

While the north was already covered in heavy snow, Yuecheng in the south was still hesitant to welcome winter.


Mornings were as warm as spring, afternoons hot as summer, and evenings cool as autumn—a day could cycle through three seasons, yet winter's chill refused to arrive.


Today, the sun shone brightly and a gentle breeze blew as Lai Zhiyun sat under a sunshade, merrily nibbling on chicken feet.


Last night, she and Zhou Liao had strolled through the supermarket, where she indulged her shopping urges with a haul of snacks, lifting her spirits from the previous evening all the way into today.


She woke up early today and joined Zhou Liao and his company's team-building group, bringing along the snacks she had bought.


Since there were mostly guys and all had experience with camping, they took care of everything from setting up tents to handling the barbecue. Lai Zhiyun didn't have to do a thing, just sit, eat, and drink.
